PSL 3.2 for Vax VMS
We are pleased to announce that Portable Standard LISP (PSL) version 3.2 is
now available for Vaxen running the VMS operating system. PSL is about the
power, speed and flavor of Franz LISP or MACLISP, with growing influence
from Common LISP. It is recognized as an efficient and portable LISP
implementation with many more capabilities than described in the 1979
Standard LISP Report. PSL's main strength is its portability across many
different systems, including: Vax BSD Unix, Extended Addressing
DecSystem-20 Tops-20, Apollo DOMAIN Aegis, and HP Series 200. A version
for the IBM-370 is in beta test, a Sun version is 90% complete and two Cray
versions are being used on an experimental basis. Since PSL generates very
efficient code, it is an ideal delivery vehicle for LISP based applications
(we can also provide PSL reseller licenses for binary only and source
distributions).
PSL is distributed for the various systems with executables, all sources,
an approximately 500 page manual and release notes. The release notes
describe how to install the system and how to rebuild the various modules.
We are charging $750 for the Vax/VMS version of PSL for Commercial Site
licenses. Non-profit institutions and all other versions of PSL will not
be charged a license fee. We are also charging a $250 tape or $350 floppy
distribution fee for each system.
PSL is in heavy use at Utah, and by collaborators at Hewlett-Packard, Rand,
Stanford, Columbia and over 200 other sites. Many existing programs and
applications have been adapted to PSL including Hearn's REDUCE computer
algebra system and GLISP, Novak's object oriented LISP dialect. These are
available from Hearn and Novak.
