We are trying to make LISP run on an 11/24 (yes they still exist) using Berzerkley 2.9. The code is all in Macro11 in /usr/src/lisp Some where in the makefile the system crashes with an illegal instruction. There are other weird things as well - What is sysmac.sml, for instance? Any advice would be most welcome... (other than get a new machine that takes time:-)) Dick Botting PAAAAAR%CALSTATE.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU PAAAAAR@CCS.CSUSCC.CALSTATE(doc-dick) Dept Comp Sci., CSUSB, 5500 State Univ Pkway, San Bernardino CA 92407 voice:714-887-7368 modem:714-887-7365 -- Silicon Mountain D

That reminds me to the goold old days, when PDP-11's ran only RSX, RT-11 or RSTS. Sysmac.sml is a macro library, which contains the definitions for the RT-11 "Programmed Requests" (nowadays known as system calls). Don't think it's equivalent exists on Unix ... -- Johan Vromans | jv@mh.nl via European backbone Multihouse N.V., Gouda, the Netherlands | uucp: ..{uunet!}mcvax!mh.nl!jv "It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness"

In later PDP-11 releases it was system.s, early releases had certain system calls hard coded into the assembler. Others you had to explicitly identify the call by number. This lead to the "not in assembler" annotation on certain of the Section 2 man pages. -Ron

I believe "sysmac.sml" could be found with the Harvard V6/V7 MACRO-11
assembler/linker package, which was distributed along with Harvard's
L110 LISP 1.5 package by Bob Kridle's group at Berkeley with 2.xBSD.
I seem to remember (hazily) that L110 really wanted to run on a split
I/D machine like a 11/44, 45 or 70. These days, I'd probably go with
something like XLISP. L110 was rather neat circa 1974.

Does anyone have a COPY of sysmac.sml? Is sysmac.sml just a text file or is it in some weird format? We have Ultrix-11 V3 that has the macro-11 assembler and such but no sysmac.sml. Since the macro assembler is under the "not supported by DEC" part of the manual I was hopeing some kind soul could help me find a copy so we can use the macro assembler for some projects. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance, -Rob Healey rhealey@ub.d.umn.edu -- -Rob
