Yeah, XLISP1 is sorta strange. Actually I like the C-style I/O
functions I'm more used to C than Lisp. To me the big hole in XLISP1
is that as an interactive interpreter it kinda sucks and there's no
way to save lists (esp. functions!) to disk. :-( I've looked at the
internal code, and I'd have to study it a while before I understood it
enough to change things.

Unfortunately XLISP 2, which is more featureful and more like Common
LISP, is a *lot* larger and would be a questionable port to OS-9.
