I had an e-mail conversation with the program's author (Wilkins) abvout a year
or so ago.  I don't believe there had been any further development since the
early 1980s.

If you are interested in pursuing a Lisp based chess program project, a free
Chess In Lisp toolkit is available from the chess.onenet.net ftp site.  The file
name is "CILv00.tar.gz" (or something like that) in the directory
pub/chess/uploads/projects (or something like that).  The toolkit is written
entirely in Common Lisp and its use can save a lot of time as it has a full
bitboard style move generator along with the execute/retract routines.
