The foundation of the system is a simulated stack machine which implements all of the basic editing functions. This is the target machine for a LISP-like language compiler. This language is used to write a real-time display oriented editor with many advanced features.

I specifically would like to thank Lee Parks of SIPB for a tremendous amount of time and effort on preparing and editing this manuscript and helping with the writing of some parts. I would like to thank Dave Moon and others at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science for reading the manuscript and offering many valuable suggestions, and Honeywell Information Systems for the time to carry this project out. For the 1978 edition, I would again like to thank SIPB and Honeywell for support and time. I wish to thank Dan Weinreb of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab and Allan Wechsler of the MIT Joint Computer Facility for participating in this massive reorganization and rewrite. 2 Notes on the Programming Language LISP PART 1 Introduction LISP stands for LISt Processing language. It is a computer programm~ language possessing many capabilities lacking in most conventional languages. These special capabilities deal with manipulation of highly structured and symbolic information. Lisp has been used to great advantage in such fields as artificial intelligence research, symbolic mathematics systems such as HACSYMA, modeling and simulation, and computer language translators. Lisp was invented in 1958 by John McCarthy, then of M.I.T.

  • The Language List - Version 2.4, January 23, 1995
    The Language List - Version 2.4, January 23, 1995 Collected information on about 2350 computer languages, past and present. Available online as: http://cui_www.unige.ch/langlist ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/doc/misc/lang-list.txt Maintained by: Bill Kinnersley Computer Science Department University of Kansas Lawrence, KS 66045 [email protected] Started Mar 7, 1991 by Tom Rombouts <[email protected]> This document is intended to become one of the longest lists of computer programming languages ever assembled (or compiled). Its purpose is not to be a definitive scholarly work, but rather to collect and provide the best information that we can in a timely fashion. Its accuracy and completeness depends on the readers of Usenet, so if you know about something that should be added, please help us out. Hundreds of netters have already contributed to this effort. We hope that this list will continue to evolve as a useful resource available to everyone on the net with an interest in programming languages. "YOU LEFT OUT LANGUAGE ___!" If you have information about a language that is not on this list, please e-mail the relevant details to the current maintainer, as shown above. If you can cite a published reference to the language, that will help in determining authenticity. What Languages Should Be Included The "Published" Rule - A language should be "published" to be included in this list. There is no precise criterion here, but for example a language devised solely for the compiler course you're taking doesn't count. Even a language that is the topic of a PhD thesis might not necessarily be included.

  • MTB Distribution FROM: Bernard S. Greenberg Date: Subject: Real-Time
    MTB 373 ,.. TO: MTB Distribution FROM: Bernard s. Greenberg Date: 04/18/78 Subject: Real-time Editing on Multics I. What is it? Real-time editing is the ability to edit or enter text seeing at all times what one has entered, as it sits in your segment, not as you have typed it. Real-time editing is the ability to modify a text, watching what happens as each command is typed, as opposed to asking the editor "Now, let's see what you did for what I told you". Real-time editing is taking advantage of intelli~ent and semi-intelligent display terminals: utilizing their ability to display text and alter it without retransmiiting the entire screen. Real-time editing is the ability to say ."Change this 9 HERE to a 10" as opposed to 11 Chan~e the 9 which is followed by a close parenthesis, a space, a 17, a comma and a O to a 10 11 , and find out that there were two of them. Real-time editing brings the ability to have the text-entry subsystem participate in the preparation of text. Language assists, such as automatic PL/I indentation, 11 shorthand 11 expansion, or text justification, can be performed as the actual text is being typed in. Need to indent, expand, or post-process to match 11 begin 111 s, 11 end"'s, or parentheses, vanishes. Real-time editing is the text-processing technology of the 1980 1 s, based on the latest data terminal technolo~v of today. We can have this now.
