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. 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. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Systems Programmer - VMS : "...underneath those Athabasca University : tuques we wear, our Athabasca, Alberta Canada : heads are naked!" ** rlloken at telus.net ** : - Arthur Black
