So last week there was some conversation about lisp
compilers and an
expressed interest in old VAX lisp comilers. Co-incidently, I was rooting
through the morgue at work on semi legitimate business and found
VAXlisp 2.2 copyright 1987. Sadly, it is on a TK50 and is the Ultrix
version.
Since it sparked my interest, I went through the rest of the pile but
no VMS lisp compiler was unearthed. I found o-l-d VAX/VMS ADA, C, basic,
pascal, fortran compilers but no lisp compilers and all on moldering
TK50s lying in wait for any hapless tape drive that may accept them.
VAX/VMS A and C, i would definitely take them if i had something where
the tapes would be usable (and a bit of handholding while imaging them.)
I know about the tapes vitrolic behaviour.
