CLISP is an implementation of COMMON LISP for the Atari ST by Bruno Haible
and Michael Stoll (dated Nov. 1991). LISP is a programming language. It
was invented by J. McCarthy in 1959. There have been many dialects of
it, but nowadays LISP has been standardized and wide-spread due to the
industrial standard COMMON LISP. There are applications in the domains of
symbolic knowledge processing (AI), numerical mathematics (MACLISP yielded
numerical code as good as FORTRAN), and commercial programs like editors
(EMACS) and CAD (AUTOCAD). LISP is run in an interactive environment.
You input forms, and they will be evaluated at once. Thus you can inspect
variables, call functions with given arguments or define your own
functions. Docs included on installing the program, but you will need a
LISP textbook (two are mentioned) to learn how to program using LISP
(that is, unless you already know how!)
