00010 WRITEUP
00020
00030 THIS WRITEUP IS INTENDED TO CORRECT, SUPPLEMENT AND EXTEND THE "MLISP USERS' MANUAL", S.A.I.P. MEMO #AI-84,
00040 BY DAVID C. SMITH. IT IS A DESCRIPTION OF ALL THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CURRENT VERSION OF MLISP
00050 AND THE VERSION REPORTED IN THE "MLISP USERS' MANUAL".
00060
00070 THE MAIN DIFFERENCES RESULT FROM THE INCORPORATION OF A SUPER FAST TABLE-DRIVEN SCANNER INTO THE TRANSLATOR.
00080 THIS HAS DECREASED TRANSLATION TIME BY A FACTOR OF THREE; MLISP TRANSLATION SPEED IS NOW 3000-5000 LINES/MIN.
00090 IT HAS ALSO RESULTED IN SOME ALTERATIONS (AND SIMPLIFICATIONS) IN THE SYNTAX, AND SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
00100 OBJECT CODE GENERATED.
00110
00120 A SUMMARY OF ALL OF THESE CHANGES IS LISTED ON PAGES 2-1,2. WHERE NECESSARY, FURTHER ELABORATION IS GIVEN
00130 ON FOLLOWING PAGES.
