  RefLisp
       
           A {Lisp} {interpreter} by Bill Birch of {Bull}, UK,
          with {shallow-binding} and {dynamic scope}.  Use of {reference
          counting} makes it suitable for experimenting with {real-time}
          and {graphical user interface}s.  {Common Lisp} compatibility


          {macro}s are provided, and most of the examples in "Lisp" by
          Winston & Horn have been run on RefLisp.  RefLisp makes no
          distinction between symbol-values and function-values, so a
          symbol can be either but not both.  There are Lisp {module}s
          for {lexical scope} and for running {indefinite extent}
          {Scheme} programs.
       
          Version 2.67 ("Last Update for a While", the author is
          emigrating to Australia) includes an interpreter,
          documentation, examples and a profiler.  It runs under
          {MS-DOS} ({CGA}/{EGA}/{VGA}) and {AIX}.
