Sectorlisp is a tiny lisp interpreter written by Justine Tunney. It consists of a tiny x86_16 interpreter running on IBM PC that interprets a smaller subset of lisp, and this runs a tiny lisp interpreter written in lisp that is closely derived from a lisp interpreter published by John McCarthy in 1960. The values handled by the interpreter are symbols and garbage-collected immutable cons cells. The interpreter contains a parser (reader) and printer for lisp values (nested lists) made of these.
