Berkeley FP is an implementation of the functional language,
FP, due to John Backus.  It was written in Franz Lisp.
Owing to a change in the UNIX system calling convention,
Berkley FP will *not* work under 4.2 -- core is dumped if
any function applications are attempted  (FP *will*,
however, run under 4.1 and 4.1c).

The two system  calls, '(syscall 13),' in the file /usr/src/ucb/fp/fpMain.l,
*must* be changed to '(sys:time)'.
