ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
This manual describes the primitive data structures, facilities and
functions present in the Portable Standard LISP (PSL) system. It describes
the implementation details and functions of interest to a PSL programmer.
Except for a small number of hand-coded routines for I/O and efficient
function calling, PSL is written entirely in itself, using a
machine-oriented mode of PSL, called SYSLISP, to perform word, byte, and
efficient integer and string operations. PSL is compiled by an enhanced
version of the Portable LISP Compiler, and currently runs on the DEC-20,
VAX, and MC68000.
