- I have a 1977 INTERLISP program, written at Stanford, and originally
- run under TOPS-20 at the Xerox PARC facility. (Its author has suggested
- to me that it may still run under "Xerox Lisp.")
-
- I need to get this 3500-line program running as painlessly and rapidly
- as possible. (I don't know INTERLISP, or any other Lisp, for that
- matter.) What should I do? Here at the University of Illinois at
- Chicago we have Stanford Lisp on the mainframe, but the program won't
- run under it. Can any one suggest a compiler/interpreter I can access
- through the net that will understand this program?
-
- Should I resign myself to learning Lisp and translating this old program
- into some more modern dialect (GNULisp, for example)? This could take me
- a month or more. But I must get this program running.
-
- Any advice from experienced Lisp programmers will be greatly appreciated.
- Please contact me directly at inglehar@bert.eecs.uic.edu. Thank you.

- This is my first attempt to post on nn, so please forgive any errors in
