              I'm working on a (small, now) Lisp interpreter for the MC68000
      series, and I've got a few questions (help!):

      I'm using  these as references:   CLtL, Winston &  Horn's  "Lisp" (two
      latest editions), Abelson & Sussmans' "Structure and Interpretation of
      Computer Programs", Gabriel's   "Performance and  Evaluation  of  Lisp
      Systems",  AAAI87 Tutorial  "Advanced  Common Lisp", and  (sheepishly)
      SYS:SYS;EVAL.LISP on my favorite Symbolics.

   You miss out the best one: Allen's "Anatomy of Lisp". 

   As to implementatations of scoping, the one vital reference is the CACM
   article (around 1975) by Baker on rerooting.


I believe  he is referring  to  an article called "Shallow  Binding in
Lisp 1.5" CACM Jul-1978 p565 which talks about rerooting.
