Does anyboy know where I can get the source to a lisp interpreter
done in either C or pascal in the public domain (or real cheap.)
This is for my apple //gs, so a copy with as little OS dependances would be
nice.

One of the most disappointing areas in the Apple II world is its minimal
software development environment. For the whole Apple II line, only 1 C
compiler and a number of assembers are available - well, I dont know if
Pecan Systems is selling for the non-apple IIgs arena, but if so, that company
may provide a few other languages.
On the other hand, looking at the Amiga/Atari/Mac/IBM PC arena there are dozens,
if not hundreds, of programming languages to chose from, including smalltalk,
lisp, actor, etc.
Perhaps someone with more ambition than brains <that is a joke folks> would
like to take a crack at porting xlisp (should be available from a ftp site
near you - the only place I could guess would be uunet) from ms-dos to prodos?

I thought they (Pecan) were selling languages for Apple IIe/IIc's, and CP/M.

I agree - Apple II development is pitiful. But there are SOME notable
exceptions: Kyan Pascal and ZBASIC to name two.

XLISP should also be available from SIMTEL20 in its MSDOS archives. Why
doesn't someone try to port Small-C to Prodos? I've thought about it once
or twice myself, but you know how those large programming projects tend
to grow on you.

The problem is that Kyan for instance is out of business! And Zbasic isnt
doing so hot as far as I have been able to find out.

There have been a couple of folks who have mentioned in the past doing
a port of Small C. The one done by Byteworks generates p code. I have
heard in either Dr Dobbs or The C User's Journal that someone else was working
on a port which generated 6502 family assember, but have never been able to
locate a source.

Small-C has been available for some time in the ProDOS -based ORCA/M package.
In fact, I purchased an older version of it at a discount. If you have ORCA/M
then look in the APDAlog for the ORCA Small-C product.
What we really need is a FULL C that runs on all 64K ProDOS capable Apples (or
clones) and supports 6502, 65C02, 65C802 and 65C816 output. I previously made
a posting asking for interest in the area because I have an Apple II+ with the
WDC65C802 installed. There was some response, "but you know how those large
programming projects tend to grow on you" to quote. I'll keep working, but a
solution from a large company with better support would be welcome...
