Subject: more on lisp compilers
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.
It would be good to know the version numbers of the compilers you have found
to see if the tapes should be imaged.
Regards
Rob
Oh yes, this is all VMS 5.5-1 stuff, there seems to be an entire distro
there
plus a lot of layered products. These are reduntant,
my employer's last
VAX
is now sleeping in my basement.
