A direct-execution model dedicated to nonnumerical processing and based upon an internal representation of source programs derived from LISP has been defined. This model provides good support for sophisticated editing (syntactical parsing, tree manipulation, pretty-printing, ...) of conventional languages and artificial intelligence languages. A high level microprogramming language (LEM) was designed to write the interpreters and the editors. The influence of LISP on LEM and the architecture is discussed. The structure of the LISP is presented and evaluation measures dealing with size, development effort and speed are given. 30 references.
