Taylor, W P

The program constitutes a complete, basic LISP (LIST-Processing language) interpreter. LISP expressions are evaluated one by one with both the input expression and the resulting evaluated expression printed. Expressions are evaluated until a FIN card is encountered. Between expression evaluations a garbage-collection algorithm is invoked to recover list space used in the previous evaluation.CDC7600; PASCAL; SCOPE; The sample problem was executed in 7000 (octal) words of memory on a CDC7600.

• Report Number(s): ANL/NESC-849; ON: DE83048849
• Resource Relation: Other Information: The main restriction is the amount of list space used by the program. By changing the statement CONST MAXNODE = 600 to CONST MAXNODE = 2000 a much larger expression can be evaluated. A major feature of LISP, the ability to define and retain function definitions, is not implemented. This is a necessary extension for a useful LISP system
