I'd love to submit an article on (what else?) garbage collection!
What's the scoop?

The article would be a review of the list representation issues and
how they interact with the garbage collector.
I would hope that the advantages of garbage collection would be included
in another article; if not, I will include some of them.
I will not present a particular scheme for a particular micro-computer.
(The idea of making a usable lisp for a 64kbyte machine is ridiculous).
However, I will review several schemes for encoding list structure to
take up less space.
One issue of particular interest to me: how much money ($'s) is available
for these articles. The last time I talked to Carl Helmers, the rates
were terribly low.
