Sun, Mar 15, 2015 An introduction to the LISP 1.5 implementation on MTS.

Comparing MTS LISP to modern Lisps

Sun, Mar 22, 2015 LISP is quite different from the languages we’ve looked at so far - but I will not give an introductory description, as there are plenty of resources on the Internet by better writers than me - instead I will look at how MTS LISP differs from more modern Lisps.

LISP - 4 bit adder
