                     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.
                     45: A
                     46: .Nm lisp
                     47: containing compiled and interpreted code may be dumped into
                     48: a file for later use.
                     49: .Pp
                     50: There are too many functions to list here; one should refer to the
                     51: manuals listed below.

                     55: with the assistance of John Foderaro.
                     56: The garbage collector was implemented by Bill Rowan.
