MTS 8: LISP and SLIP in MTS

(PUTOB A1...AN)
The function PUTOB places literal atoms on the OBJECT LIST. If
PUTOB finds an atom on the OBJECT LIST with the same PNAME as one
of its arguments, an error will be generated.
The Parameter List __________________
LISP, like many other MTS programs, accepts various control parame-
ters via the PAR field of the $RUN command. The keyword parameters may
appear in any order, and there may be any number of keywords given. The
keyword parameters recognized by LISP, and their significance, are
described below.
FCS=N N specifies the number of pages of initial free-
space. If space is needed beyond this amount, a
garbage collection will be performed. The default
value is 25 pages. Increasing the value of this
parameter to the maximum space needed will eliminate
the necessity for garbage collection.
GC#=N After a garbage collection, the system will get more
space unless N LISP cells are available. Setting N
to a large number will tend to increase the amount
of memory used by the system and decrease the
frequency of garbage collections. The default value
is 4000.
ERR=N N indicates the initial status of interrupt traps
(see status code 34). The default value is 0 (all
traps on).
OBJ=N N indicates the number of hash buckets for the
literal atom OBJECT LIST. The greater the number of
buckets, the faster resolution of atomic references
should be. An odd number is recommended. The
default value is 69.
INT=N1[,N2] If the form INT=N1 is specified, all integer atoms
from 0 to N1 will be stored in an internal array
where they can be accessed quickly. Alternatively,
if the form INT=N1,N2 is specified, all integer
atoms from N1 to N2 will be stored in an internal
array where they can be accessed quickly.
The user can access the INT array by calling STATUS.
The INT array can also be changed by creating a new
array containing any set of consecutive integer
atoms, and calling STATUS with that array as an
argument.
