DESCRIPTION

CLISP is an implementation of Common Lisp.  Common Lisp is a convential
programming language and an AI language.  It is interactive.  It has
automatic garbage collection and can protect resources (e.g.  free them
even in case a computation is aborted with an error).  Common Lisp programs
are easy to test (interactive), easy to maintain (depending on programming
style) and portable (there is a standard for the language and the library
functions).

CLISP needs just 2 MB of memory (it will allocate more for large
applications) and implements 99% of the CLtL1 standard, as well as some
extensions and a large part of the CLtL2 standard.  CLISP contains an
interpreter and a compiler, CLOS, a small ARexx interface and a foreign
function interface with which to call any function from almost any shared
library.  CLISP is safe to use, for any integer, array, string etc.
manipulation is checked: your application won't write past a string,
overflow an integer or dereference a NULL pointer, generating Enforcer
hits.
