Does any LISP system (commercial, shareware, whatever) exist for Apple II ProDOS, DOS 3.3, or CP/M? Les_Ferch@mtsg.ubc.ca userlsf@ubcmtsg

There used to be something from Apple on one of their old contributed software volumes diskettes called microlisp. It was a tiny LISP interpreter written in Applesoft basic. It worked but was _slow_ and had a _very_ limited amount of memory. XLISP is a much more powerful LISP interpreter written in C. It used to run under CP/M but I don't know if newer versions do. It has its own news group (comp.lang.lisp.x I think) where you can probably find out more info. I see no reason it couldn't be compiled for a //gs using ORCA C. Hope this was some help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey T.

There does exist a LISP package for the Apple but I have never had the chance to use it myself. The package is: KeyLISP The language - Apple // version Gerard D Mickon, XPrime Corporation It is available as a book (check your local bookstore for ordering) and had an order form for the software. I think the book was under $30, but the software was about $120 (one reason why I never picked it up). It sounded like the auther made a few extensions to the language, but it was still basically Common LISP. If you find out more about this or other LISP packages, I would be interested in hearing what you think about them. I think it's about time my little Apple picked up another language (Merry Christmas!!). Hope this helps, Dan Palermo dpalermo@usc.edu
