Sorry for my confusing post. I was responding to your note, "I tried 
running Lisp under ProDOS and it bombs." For me it runs to the colon 
prompt. At that point, it doesn't crash, but any command produces an 
error. It actually crashes into the monitor later, after trying to load 
base.

Sorry for the spurious alarm. Your files are fine. After I copied them 
to an initialized DOS image, the system booted and loaded as expected. 
Was the disk supposed to be bootable?
