Hi,
thanks for trying to help with this.

Thanks, I'll try this in combination with the proposed move, but if I
don't succeed with it today I will start working on my priority tasks
and do this in november or whenever I get the chance.

Right, I have seen the complains of the script pointing to that
directory.

I think it's different.. I think I should have installed BARE.IMG,
BASIC.IMG and SYSATOMS. LISP4.img is generated nowhere. If it's in the
original source, the f2c running author did a strange job.

A while ago I forked this with the intention to clean it up some
day.. Could take a long time, if at all. I find the fortran easier to
read. Is there any reason why just using the fortran source would not
work for us? I might have packaged gforth, but I know little about
fortran compiling, compability etc.
I missed a free software licensed interlisp implementation.. this lispf4
differed from what I needed for my purposes, which would've been
SIEMENS-INTERLISP, but I found no other interlisp at that time.
Differed in the way that SIEMENS-INTERLISP gives you the ability to
close every open parens with >, as a super-paren.. that's just one
difference of many.

In case anyone is curious: "Christian-M. Hamann - Einführung in das
Programmieren in LISP", published in Berlin 1985 also states New York so
there's a chance for a translation somewhere.
I'm open to suggestions other than writing my own interlisp (which would
be very nice, but I'm at least 2 years busy on another front :) )... It
will probably lead to writing my own interlisp.
