john-
i am now at uc/berkeley . if you are in the bay area you can
call me at 642-7597.
the user level of my lisp simpley had primitives
environ , enveval and setenv. they were essentially as
described in ben and dannys paper. i have some unreadable
lecture notes and some diagrams of the structures used, but
no formal documentation of the system exists.
the major implementation trick that i used was to use a
separate stack for the primitieves to execute on when they
were modifying the lisp stacks . this helped clarify the
coding immmensely. would be happy to
talk about it anytime.
