About the lisa source disk:

The file lisa.source on ucrmath was (when I got it) a disk packed
with a program called propacker. I know very little about propacker,
except that i was lucky enough to have it on a disk of utilities
I got with my unidisk. I re-packed the files as a shrinkit archive
and uploaded them, putting them in the uploads directory on tybalt.

Yes, the files are tokenized. Randy said somewhere (in one of the
files on ucrmath) that lisa 3.2 wouldn't be able to read in the
sources because of a different tokenization scheme, but it DOES
read them in. You can then use the 'write' command to output
the files as plain text.  I have been able to assemble Lisa (the
source is not for v3.2 though), but not put it together into a runnable
version (it is missing a file called lisa.loader or something like that).
The source is educational, though.

I probably won't post the source to comp.binaries, but have sent
the archive to jac@paul.rutgers.edu and I think he intends to put
it on comp.sources (presuming he can detokenize the files).
