From: Ron <FISCHER@Rutgers> No! Argh! Sorry, total brainless-osity... 13 bits is 32k!? NOOOOO! Only 8k objects can be addressed by 13 bits. There are techniques for making Lisp work with smaller address spaces, like an allocation scheme that uses separate banks of memory for each type of object. However with 13 bits of address you can still never have more than 8k objects of any type. The experience with Lisp has been similar to that with other systems, and if 64k isn't enough for things we're doing now 8k certainly won't cut it either. (ron) -------
