The paper "A Portable LISP Compiler" (Software--Practice & Experience, Vol 11, 1981) by Martin Griss & Anthony Hearn refers to a paper on a portable lisp assembler and loader by I. B. Frick as "in preparation." The title was said to be "A portable loader and fast loader for Standard LISP" although they might have meant "A portable assembler ...". I haven't been able to find this paper. Was it ever published? (I had looked for it a few years ago and then forgotten it when I couldn't find it. I was reminded of it a couple of weeks ago when someone mentioned it on comp.arch during a discussion of portable intermediate languages.) -- Doug Quale quale@uhura.cs.wisc.edu

The paper mentioned was never published. As I was reminded about it
I might actually publish something. There was a (semi-) portable assembler
involved but I am not to happy about the portability of the code so I will
probably just make a short note with the general ideas and the format of
the loader.
