Reference manual for implementation of LISP running on OS/360, TSS/360, and CP/CMS.
Stoyan cites an earlier version: F. W. Blair. Design and Development Document for LISP on Several S/360 Operating Systems, IBM Confidential, Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York, 1967.
"The first Lisp compiler was written by Robert Brayton with the assistance of David Park, in SAP for the 704. That compiler was started in 1957 and was working in 1960 by which time Brayton left MIT. During that interval of time a Lisp compiler written in Lisp was implemented by Klim Maling but that compiler was apparently dropped. The argument advanced was that Brayton's being written in assembly language, would obviously be faster. Difficulties in maintenance developed when Brayton left the project. After Brayton and Maling, Timothy Hart and Michael Levin wrote a compiler in Lisp which was distributed with the 704 Lisp 1.5 system. The compiler that I am most familiar with and will describe today is a descendant of that compiler."
A 1976 version is cited in Padget and Fitch 1985 and Alberga et al. 1984.
"This is basically an attempt to put some of my most popular song-and-dance routines into labanotaion. It is a miscellany of hints, warnings and admonitions written 'on the fly'. It is guaranteed to be incomplete, but (as of today) correct."
"This memo describes one way that one user found satisfactory. It is thought to be of some use for new users."
Among other things, it lists all the source files of the system.
"YKTLISP supports files which are analogous to CMS TXTLIB files, (akin to other LISPs' FASL files). These files (traditionally of file-type LISPLIB, will be referred to as LISPLIBs herein) are random access, key addressed files of LISP objects, stored in a form which can be read faster than the forms read by the READ function."
