=========

A small lisp interpreter library and wrapper written in C. The documentation 

is in [doc/liblisp.md][], this contains information on how to build and run the

interpreter. The project runs (and has been tested under) Linux and Windows.

This project should probably be rewritten when I get around to it, as the

current project:

* Does not have Macros

* Does not have Closures (and it would be difficult to add them)

* Is not particularly memory efficient, and could be made to be more

so (and portably) by using indexing instead of pointers.

* Is not image based, so saving and restoring state is not possible,

again using indexing instead of pointers would help.

There are a few interesting things in this project but I would do it

differently if I got the chance to, both my understanding of lisp has improved

and my C. I would probably use a more liberal license as well.

The rewrite will be my forth attempt, if I get around to it...

To test this application out:

	make run

This should build under Linux, or using MinGW under Windows .

or

	make modules run

(which is more likely to fail as it requires installed dependencies).
