  "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."

  "The implementing of LISP 1.5 on CD 3600 was performed at: the Kjeller Computer Installation, Kjeller, Norway, as the main part of the author's thesis work for his M.A. degree. As several installations have asked me to make a LISP 1.5 interpreter for the IBM System 360, I have started to do this at the University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada."

    The particular implementation to which this reference manual is directed was started by Mr. J. Kent while he was at the University of Waterloo. It is modeled after his implemention of LISP 1.5 for the CDC 3600.

    Included in this edition is information on the use of the time-shared LISP system available on the 360/67 which was implemented by Mr. Robert Berns of the Campus Computer Facility staff."

  1. The Standford [sic] LISP/360 manual (pages i-vi and 1-58) and
  2. The Utah appendix (pages Al-A16) which can be considered as an update to the Stanford manual."
