(I/O is quite basic: only the built-in reader) Intro: http://www.paulgraham.com/rootsoflisp.html The article itself: http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/paulgraham/jmc.ps -- dexen deVries ``One can't proceed from the informal to the formal by formal means.'' -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
