JOHN:
	IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE TO GET A COPY OF LISP OVER THE NET.
THE ONLY DIFFICULTY IS THAT I'LL HAVE TO FTP IT TO YOU-- THERE IS NO LOGGED
OUT DISK STORAGE HERE, WO IT WOULD BE ROUGH FOR YOU TO RETRIEVE IT.
LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE WORKED OUT.

			FORREST HOWARD.

(PS. UNIX LISP RUNS AT BERKELEY, WHICH MAY BE MORE CONVENIENT FOR YOU.
(I HAVE NO NOTION OF THE GEOGRAPHY OF CA.)).

***** FTP mail from [7101,422] (HOWARD)
JOHN:
	I FINISHED TRANSFERING THE FILES. YOU WILL FIND (I HOPE) THE
FOLLOWING ON YOUR DIRECTORIES:

   BUILDL.DOC LMAN.DOC EDIT1.DOC EDIT2.DOC MI.DOC GUTS.DOC

	AUXFNS SVLISP HACK TRACE EDIT BT 

    SPARM.M11 LGLOB.M11 MACRO.M11 DSTUF.M11  ATDAT.M11

     CTABLE.M11 PROBEND FILLER.M11 NOROOM.M11 

		MI.TEC

		SHRLISP

  THE USER'S MANUAL IS LMAN.DOC... BUILDLISP.DOC TELLS HOW TO MAKE A LISP
FROM SCRATCH. GUTS.DOC DESCRIBS THE INTERNALS OF THE LISP SYSTEM.
THE EDIT FILES ARE FOR THE IN-CORE EDITOR THAT NO-ONE
USES SINCE WE'VE PUT IN (TECO 'FILE) AND (TECF(FUNC1 ... FUCN)).

THE SECOND GROUP IS THE LIBRARY.  AUXFNS IS PRE-LOADED, WITH HACK AND SVLISP. THE OTHER'S ARE LOADED BY THE USER WHEN HE WISHES.

THE THIRD GROUP IS THE SOURCE FOR LISP. THE FILE MI.TEC IS A OFTEN USED
MACRO FOR LIST STRUCTURE INSERTION . THE FILE SHRLISP IS TEHE UNIX
CCL FILE TO MAKE A LISP.

I HOPE THAT THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED.  IF THERE IS ANY OTHER PART
OF UNIX LISP THAT YOU WANT TO GET AHOLD OF, LET ME KNOW.

			FORREST HOWARD

(PS PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU GIVE A COPY OF LISP TO ANYONE ELSE.
 YOU'RE WELCOME TO DO SO, BUT I'D LIKE TO KEEP TRACK OF WHERE
 IT LIVES.)

I WOULD APPRECIATE SEEING A COPY OF THE LISP MANUSCRIPT,
FOR CURIOSITY SAKE AND TO SEE ABOUT REPLACING WEISSMAN
WHICH IS WHAT WE USE FOR A LISP PRIMMER HERE.

IF "WHERE TO SEND" REFERS TO USMAIL, THE ADDRESS IS

JOHN:

SORRY I TOOK SO LONG TO GET BACK TO YOU. FIRST YOUR COMMENTS:

	THE FRMPTR WAS A CELL I ADDED AT THE REQUEST OF AN UNDERGRAD
	(JOHN BURRUS)  THAT HE FELT NECESSARY TO  IMPLEMENT SPAGETTI
	STACKS.  HOWEVER, THAT WAS LAST SPRING, AND JOHN HAS GONE FORTH
	TO MAJOR IN ENGLISH.  SPAGETTI STACKS ARE SOMETHING I'M PLANNING
	EVENTUALLY (MAYBE LATE SUMMER).

	XFER LISP IS THE PDP-10- UNIX  ENVIRONMENT TRANSFER PROJECT, WHICH
	I'M DOING TO JUSTIFY MY EXISTANCE THESE DAYS. WE'RE PLANNING
	ON TRANSFERING A COMPLETE ENVIRONMENT (DATA AND CONTROL) TO THE
		10 TO CONTINUE RUNNING WHEN WE'RE BLOCKED ON THE 1.( AT 
	THE MOMENT "BLOCKED" MEANS NO CORE, BUT WE EVENTUALLY HOPE TO DEVISE
	ALGORITHIMS FOR THE MONITOR TO "TELL" LISP IT'S BLOCKED).

	THE OBLIST SWITCHING IS SOMETHING I DID LAST SPRING WHEN TAKING
	A COURSE AT MIT UNDER RON RIVEST. SEE THE CURRENT ACM FOR  THE 
	SPECIFICS.. BASICALLY, IT A "MOVE TOWARDS THE FRONT" ALGORITHIM

	TO  SPEED UP OBLIST SEARCHING.

INDEED THIS IS CLOSE TO PRENNER'S LISP-- WHEN I ORIGINALLY WROTE AS AN UUNDERGRAD,
WE WE CONVERTING APPL. MATH [[0 (MACHINE LANGUAGE) TO UNIX FROM A 10, AND
WERE TRYING TO MAKE THE COURSES (AND PROBLEM SETS AND LISP)
AS IDENTICAL AS POSSIBLE.

I WILL BE INTERESTED IN SEEING THE BOOK... SOUNDS LIKE IT SHOULD BE GOOD
READING

TQAKE CARE
