CLISP

1. {Conversational LISP}.

2. A {Common Lisp} implementation by Bruno Haible

of {Karlsruhe

University} and Michael Stoll

of {Munich University}, both in Germany. CLISP includes an

{interpreter}, {bytecode compiler}, {run-time library} and

editor and needs only 1.5 MB of {RAM}. German and English

versions are available, French soon.

Packages running in CLISP include {PCL} and {CLX} on {Unix}

machines. A native subset of {CLOS} is included.

Version 1993/10/06 conforms to {CLtL1} and parts of {CLtL2}

and is distributed under the {GNU} {General Public License}.

CLISP runs on {Atari}, {Amiga}, {MS-DOS}, {OS/2}, {Linux},

{Sun4}, {Sun386i}, {HP90000}/800 and others.
