ā08-Jan-79 0941 PWM byte lisp issue
john went to 8080 lisp demo - they have a small lisp running mainly to support
an algebraic manipulation system for high school kids. quite impressive,
has bignums but no funargs - shallow binding. they were running with 48k.
Stouymeyer (or whatever his name is) from u of Hawaii, who produced the
system had some very nice things to say about your book. he was very interested
in 8080 vlisp as he didn't know about it. Dr. Dobbs were here chasing hin up
for an article about his system (will distribute for about $70in a month or so).
i told him about your attempts to round up some good lisp articles for a special
issue of byte and he told me he would contact you about it either by phone
or over the net. he seemed to prefer appearing in your lisp special to Dr. Dobbs.
he is writing a book on algebraic manipulation. peter
