        !            28: .Sh DESCRIPTION
        !            29: .Nm Lisp
        !            30: is a lisp interpreter for a dialect which
        !            31: closely resembles MIT's MACLISP.
        !            32: This lisp, known as FRANZ
        !            33: LISP, features
        !            34: an I/O facility which allows the user to change the input
        !            35: and output syntax, add
        !            36: macro characters, and maintain compatibility with upper-case
        !            37: only lisp systems;
        !            38: infinite precision integer arithmetic, and
        !            39: an error facility which allows the user to trap system errors in
        !            40: many different ways.
        !            41: Interpreted functions may be mixed with code compiled by
        !            42: .Xr liszt  1
        !            43: and both may be debugged using the
        !            44: ``Joseph Lister'' trace package.

        !            48: a file for later use.
        !            49: .Pp
        !            50: There are too many functions to list here; one should refer to the
