	You are probably looking for:

	  "Parlez-Vous Franz ?  An Informal Introduction to Interfacing
	   Foreign Functions to Franz Lisp," by James R. Larus, PAM-124,
	   Computer Science Division, Department of Electrical Engineering and
	   Computer Sciences, UC Berkeley, 1983.


	Since the paper has a "PAM" id, I believe it was published by the
	Pure and Applied Mathematics Dept, even though it says "Computer
	Science Division" on the cover. . . .
