Do you want me to send them directly to you?

Considering that logical pathnames and pretty-printing are required
parts of ANSI CL, this will get you at least part of the way there.
Don't know how close it is to ANSI CL, though.  However, you might
want to do this yourself.  I know Clisp has its own implementation of
pretty-printing, written from scratch a couple of months ago.
