[from ] The book "Anatomy of Lisp" by John R. Allen, McGraw-Hill 1978 contains most of the parts for a simple Lisp compiler (written in meta-Lisp) in its later chapters. I got it running, long ago, on my CP/M machine. If I recall correctly, after typing it in it took me only a few hours to track down the bugs and to fix the omissions. I had to add some hooks to the Lisp interpreter (things like "peek" and "poke") and had to figure out how to emit object code myself. Paul Tarvydas {ihnp4,etc.}!utcsri!tarvydas
