15: _L_i_s_p is a lisp interpreter for a dialect which closely
16: resembles MIT's MACLISP. This lisp, known as FRANZ LISP,
17: features an I/O facility which allows the user to change the
18: input and output syntax, add macro characters, and maintain
19: compatibility with upper-case only lisp systems; infinite
20: precision integer arithmetic, and an error facility which
21: allows the user to trap system errors in many different
22: ways. Interpreted functions may be mixed with code compiled
23: by _l_i_s_z_t(1) and both may be debugged using the ``Joseph Lis-
24: ter'' trace package. A _l_i_s_p containing compiled and inter-
25: preted code may be dumped into a file for later use.

31: An early version was written by Jeff Levinsky, Mike Curry,
32: and John Breedlove. Keith Sklower wrote and is maintaining
33: the current version, with the assistance of John Foderaro.
34: The garbage collector was implemented by Bill Rowan.
