The interlisp virtual machine : study of its design and its implementation as multilisp

Abstract machine definitions have been recognized as convenient and powerful tools for enhancing software portability. One such machine, the Inter lisp Virtual Machine, is examined in this thesis. We present the Multilisp System as an implementation of the Virtual Machine and discuss some of the des...
