Stacy | I don't think that referred to any real TOPS-20 Common Lisp; it was | just a made-up example. In reality, I think CMUC ran TOPS-10 or TENEX. I have been unable to find any documentation or anything else useful to prove this, but I did use a Common Lisp system on TOPS-20. It was an impressive system and among its most important features was that it could use a lot more of the available memory than most TOPS-20 applications, which were limited to 18 address bits, but this turned out to be a problem on a machine that was intended to support a lot of Emacs users, too. -- Erik Naggum, Oslo, Norway Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder.
