To:   MACLSP.DIS[AID,RPG]:; 
	The MACLISP grinder now understands E-files. Grinding an E format
file will cause the directory to be flushed.

∂29-Oct-76  1824	RPG  	BIBOPIZATION  
To:   MACLSP.DIS[AID,RPG]:; 
	MACLSP is now fully BIBOPized and SAIL housebroken.
MACLSP, NCOMPLR, & SCHEME all run under BIBOP; MACLSP IO routines
understand E-format files. This includes NCOMPLR and the GRINDer.
Don't forget to use EREAD in place of UREAD for all normal disk IO.
(This is the routine that understands E.)

∂01-Nov-76  2201	RPG  	BIBOP    
To:   MACLSP.DIS[AID,RPG]:; 
	Don't forget, R MACLSP invokes the latest BIBOP version
of MACLISP.

∂14-Dec-76  2221	RPG  	Printing windows/SAIL   
To:   MACLSP.DIS[AID,RPG]:; 
	One can now print the window surrounding a CE by
saying "W" to the Editor. If the windowsize is 2, then the
2 tokens preceeding the CE, the CE, and the 2 tokens following
the CE are printed (a token is an expression or a parenthesis). 
The windowsize is set by (WINDOW n).

∂09-Jun-77  1415	RPG  	sewer OLDIO   
To:   MACLSP.DIS[AID,RPG]:; 
	At SAIL Maclisp has been modified as follows: ordinary disk file
IO now uses 6 buffers in the input (output) buffer rings and fasload reads
1400(8) words at a time from disk in dump mode while fasloading. Since the
bottleneck at SAIL is the disk right now these changes will greatly
improve the performance of Maclisp AND the rest of the lusers on the
SAIL machine. However, there are a few things to watch out for:
1. the correctness of Require in this new scheme has not been proven.
2. BPS will need to be increased for fasload. Essentially fasload
uses array space for its dump mode buffering. So, the increased size
(200 to 1400 (8)) means that BPS should be about 1200(8) [640.] words larger
than before. You ought to go through your *.ini files and make this
update or face "no core -- array" errors.

∂10-Jun-77  1145	JP  	E - MACLSP - E 
To:   MACLSP.DIS[AID,RPG]:; 
	ET.FAS[MAC,LSP] has been modified so ⊗XRUNning from E returns you
to the calling MACLSP image. LSUBR ET now returns nil. Comments → JP
