- Hi
-
- Seems I have the opertunity to get my hands on some oldish Xerox lisp machine.
- The question is - do I want to?
-
- I'd like to run a version a theorem prover called HOL on it - which is
- is written in a version of ML which is written in common lisp.
- Sounds good so far. Only thing is I'm told that the machine in question
- has no software one it - just lisp, and a structure editor for lisp.
- And these are not even the latest versions.
- I guess I would be needing some other text editor for editing my
- ML programs at the very least.
-
- So my question is - what sort of software is available for them.
- (I'm not a lisp person or a desk top publisher type, I'm thinking primarily
- about a text editor) and how difficult/expensive would it be to get hold of.
-
- I'm not that desperate that I am willing to invest buckets of time or money
- in this, but if I could just get some software, plug it in and go,
- I'd be intersted.

- Jim
