When I was a student at Edinburgh we had a Pop-2 system (think "Lisp data structures (before Lisp had them) with Pascalish syntax") running quite happily on a PDP-11. It was *less* resource hungry than the C compiler. Lisp has been used quite successfully on 16-bit machines. -- Will maintain COBOL for money. Richard A.
