[net.wanted] Need info on Backus' FP language

kissell@flairvax.UUCP (Kevin D. Kissell) (03/21/84)

As the header indicates, I'm looking for information or pointers
to information on Backus' FP,  which is/was allegedly an early model
of a zero-assignment language.  Even vague recollections would help.

Backus' FP was described in his Turing award lecture, which was
printed in the Communications of the ACM. 1978 or 79 (?)
