LISP 1.5 Programmer's Manual
| Hi-index | 0.00 |
An experimental LISP system has been developed for use on SPERRY UNIVAC 1100 Series computers. Although the general design of the system is fairly traditional, a number of extensions have been made to the customary nucleus which significantly improve the ease of use of the language. These extensions include external environment modifications as well as new internal functions. Some concepts have also been borrowed from other programming languages, as well. Because 1100 Series LISP does not contain a compiler, considerable attention has been given to the efficient use of computing resources, and some of the extensions are designed with more efficient utilization as the primary objective. Finally, some of the extensions were compelled to exist by the inherent logical structure of the LISP language, and their introduction into other LISP systems can be recommended.
