    at the UIC Computer Center.  The modifications are designed to allow convenient
    interactive use of LISP for modest computations.  It is assumed that the reader
    has a general working  knowledge of LISP 1.5 as described in  the LISP 1.5 Pro-
    grammers' Manual by John McCarthy,  and in  the LISP 1.5 Primer by Clark Weiss-
    man,  and that the reader has a  general knowledge of the operating environment
    of OS 370.

    Beginning users of LISP will find the sections "The LISP System", "Organization
    of Storage", "Functions", "LISP Editing Functions",  and "LISP System Messages"
    most helpful in obtaining a basic understanding of the LISP system.  Other sec-
    tions of the manual are intended for  users desiring a more extensive knowledge
    of LISP.

    From the Stanford LISP/360 Reference Manual:

        "The  particular  implementation  to which  this  reference  manual  is
        directed was started by Mr.  J.  Kent while he was at the University of
        Waterloo.  It is modeled after his implemention of LISP 1.5 for the CDC
        3600."
