I'm pretty new to lisp, and because I know no-one
who uses lisp, I'm putting these stupid questions to
this newsgroup.

- Is there a "natural" OS for lisp? Like C-Unix. 

- Do the lisp-machines use an OS ? Or was it all just 
  part of the lisp-image. If so how did they see multitasking, or
  filesystems ?

- Is there on-line information about the older lisp machines and 
  compilers/interpreters ?

BTW: I know that you can use lisp on (nearly) every OS. But
   nobody can argue that C and Unix are linked. I don't want
   to start any religious wars.

Yours,

Peter Van Eynde
