Carld Lispkit Save

This program is an implementation of the Lispkit described in the book "FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING: Application and Implementation", by Peter Henderson, ISBN 0-13-331579-7, Prentice-Hall International, 1980.

If you have a C compiler and make, like gcc and gmake, you can build the program with:

make

If compilation is successful, you can test lispkit - this will attempt some of the examples from table 12.1 and 12.2 in the book.

make test

INSTALLATION

To install lispkit to your system:

[sudo] make install

To remove lispkit:

[sudo] make uninstall

USING

To compile a lispkit program, use the lispkitc script:

lispkitc infile [outfile]

For example:

./lispkitc examples/square.lisp square.bin

To run a lispkit program:

lispkit program [argument]

If no argument file is given, lispkit will read from stdin.

For example:

echo 16 | ./lispkit square.bin
