Hi Jakob, > Alexander, do you have the sources for 68000 PicoLisp, and if you do, is > it anything like current PicoLisp?
Yes, I still have the sources from the early 1990s, but PicoLisp at that time was quite different. It was mostly in C, with just a few functions like arithmetics with 64bit intermediate result, (muldiv, i.e. '*/') and the inner interpreter itself (evExpr) in 68k and 8086 assembly. > The reason why I am asking is that I am somewhat involved in an Amiga > clone (Natami) which has its own CPU implementation, and I was going to > use miniPicoLisp on it, but then remembered that you used PicoLisp on > Macs, maybe an optimal assembler version? I think this old version would not be very useful. As I understand it, the problem for your Amiga version is not so much the interpreter (be it in C or asm), but the interfaces to the OS and toolboxes, right? In those old sources, I find routines for I/O to the Mac toolbox, MS-DOS and SCO-Unix, but naturally only the most basic ones. For the Mac, an extensive interface to the Macintosh ROM exists, like Resource- and Event-managers, QuickDraw, Windows, Dialogs etc. Cheers, - Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
