That will be fine.  Because of lack of terminals, a telephone call to
Fran Larson 497-2800 is more reliable than a net message.  If you can't
get her (she's sometimes unavailable), a telephone call to the department
number will do it.

I just read your note, and I would have tried to use its contents.
However, the matter is settled for now.

To:   RWG    
The review of "Polylogarithms and associated functions" in the
latest March 1982 Bulletin of the AMS is very illuminating to me.
You might find it so also.

To:   RPG    
My opinion is that we should pay increased computer charges unless
they are unaffordable.  The sad fact is that running a computer is
expensive.

 ∂06-Apr-82  0942	RWW  	new pricing for SAIL    
It seems to me that this new scheme has made SAIL almonst too costly to
continue doing much work.  Also its retroactive application seems unfair.
This continual change of rules is unacceptable.  I am seriously thinking
using SCORE or maybe the VAX.  Is there any form of relief short of stopping
using SAIL?  
Richard
I think we need to dig ourselves out of the hole by paying higher
prices for a while.  Do you have any information on what are the
relative costs of doing the same job on SCORE and SAIL?

If you could remind me to whom I sent previous letters of recommendation,
I could dredge out the old letter and refurbish it.

∂08-Apr-82  0145	JMC  	tail recursive cons
To:   RPG    
Prolog compiles definitions resembling

(defun append (u v) (if (null u) v (cons (car u) (append (cdr u) v))))

in a tail recursive way.  Namely, the cons is done before the
inner call of append and the result of the latter is rplacded in.
This avoids stack use.  It seems to me that much use of  progs  would
be avoided if Lisp did this.  One way of doing it is to transform the
source into an equivalent source using  rplacd  such as

(defun append (u v) (if (null u) v (let (w (cons (car u) v))
	(app1 w w (cdr u)))))

(defun app1 (w z u) (if (null u) w (let (zz (cons (car u) (cdr z)))
	(app1 w (cdr (rplacd zz (cdr u)))))))

or something like that.

The abstract is page 3 of MAPS[E81,JMC].  You can move it to the beginning
or to a separate file according to convenience.  I have also changed two
occurrences of  B  to  D  on line 207 of the source file.

Please make out invoices for

March 30 and 31, III technical committee.  The expenses were
air travel, parking, Stanford - San Jose driving and return
and one motel night at $40.00.

Also Livermore consulting Monday April 5 and a half day Thursday
April 8.  $6.30 meals first day and no meals second day.

I forgot to ask for reimbursement for dinnner for Shapiro and others.
It was $91.60 and is CSD recruiting expense.

I suppose you can send the invoices to France for me to sign.
