This is to inform you that some subset of us will be submitting a
paper for the August issue of BYTE. The title will probably be
something like "LIL - A Lisp Implementation Language". We will
present a Lisp based compiler for implementing system software.
With the language (compiler and perhaps interpreter) embedded in
a Lisp-like environment, the user will have access to the Lisp
debugging tools. We feel that the ability to manipulate programs
via macros coded in Lisp will speed the code writing phase. This
language should be usable on micro-processors without difficulty.

We need some idea about how long this should be - of course, it might
depend on how winning the outline is ...
