[net.lang.lisp] Portable LISP Compiler

luner@uwai.UUCP (David L. Luner) (02/02/86)

I recall there being a query for a simple LISP compiler/interpreter.
Since I just moved offices, I was fumbling through various papers 
and found the following:

Griss, M. L. and Hearn, A. C., A Portable Lisp Compiler, 
Software - Practice and Experience, Vol 11, 541-605 (1981).

Abstract:
   ... production compilers ... produce explicit instructions
   for the computer being used. This paper describes ... a portable
   LISP compiler ... Only Standard LISP functions are used in its
   definition and the output is a sequence of abstract machine codes, 
   easily mapped to instruction sequences on current computers. ...
