Comments on: Pascal Bourguignon recreates machine-readable source for LISP 1.5 http://www.mcjones.org/dustydecks/archives/2005/06/08/41/ Preserving historic software Sun, 06 Jul 2008 02:02:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Paul McJones http://www.mcjones.org/dustydecks/archives/2005/06/08/41/#comment-644 Paul McJones Fri, 19 Aug 2005 16:23:25 +0000 http://www.mcjones.org/dustydecks/archives/2005/06/08/41/#comment-644 That is the object file, so in principle you would feed it to a 7090 simulator. I gather from Pascal's comp.lang.lisp <a href="http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/browse_frm/thread/67b1cabdf271870c" rel="nofollow">posting</a> that he didn't try that because he knew he hadn't eliminated all the typos from his source file, lisp15.src. I haven't heard any more from Pascal since June; you might contact him directly. That is the object file, so in principle you would feed it to a 7090 simulator.

I would like to adapt the original code to the modern CPU. My goal is to duplicate the relationship between the Symbolic Expression and the Machine in an effort to understand the original intent as reflected in McCarthy's Recursive Functions of Symbolic Expressions. In order to do that, I must start here: understanding the original implementation and the machine it ran on. I have a goal related to this one.
