LISP implementation in C.

[Scott Fahlman at CMU-10A (C380SF50)]

Hi, gang,

An undergrad here, Ken Keller by name, has decided the world needs a good 
portable LISP, probably written in C for use on Unices and other such machines.
I think he's good enough to pull it off.  He wants to make the thing look as
much like MACLISP as possible, perhaps even with a compiler someday.  It
would have BIBOP and NEWIO.  Comments?  Are there existing systems around
that he ought to know about, written in C or something else that is suitably
high-level?
