00100 Here are some of the things to accomplish during the
00200 winter quarter in order to make progress on the CS206
00300 book.
00400
00500 First we need to get everything into PUB form.
00600 The conventions for publication LISP have to be completed
00700 and the stuff that is now in line printer and POX form
00800 have to be revised. We need a program for taking LISP
00900 functions in DEFPROP form in files produced by DSKOUT and
01000 printing them in publication language complete with
01100 font and cas∨ changes.
01200
01300 Second, we need some new programs to use as examples.
01400
01500 1. 3d tictactoe
01600
01700 2. Additions to LCOM4 to handle functional arguments,
01800 to generate iterative computations. We should decide where
01900 LCOM4 leaves off and LCOM5 begins. Thπ book should contain
02000 as an appendix, the best compiler it is reasonable to read.
02100
02200 3. A sequence of syntax directed computation interpreters
02300 need to be written.
02400
02500 Third, more text is wanted.
02600
02700 1. Compiling in LISP
02800
02900 2. Syntax directed computation.
03000
03100 3. The problems associated with functional arguments and
03200 their solutions.
03300
03400 4. The prog feature, rplaca, and other forms of LISP
03500 that changes structure.
03600
03700 5. hashing
03800
03900 6. Historical and comparative sections.
04000
04100 7. Computation with algebraic expressions.
04200
04300 8. Breadth first and other searches.
