Proposed Meeting

On Friday, 8 May 1970, at 9:30 AM a meeting at M.I.T. Lincoln

Laboratory is proposed. A description of LIL (Local Interaction

Language) for the TSP (Terminal Support Processor) system will be

presented.

The purpose of the TSP system is to provide a flexible I/O

capability for network users. In order to achieve maximum flexibility,

the system is user-programmable in an interpretable language called

LIL.

LIL has the appropriate primitives for manipulating tree

structures (for interactive graphics) as well as message-oriented

I/O. The general purpose portion of the language is used to specify

the I/O handlers and the display structures.

A discussion of the problems of handling interactive programs

over the ARPA network will follow.

This conference is intended as a working group and each host

should send as few or as many individuals as are actively

interested. A working document on LIL will be mailed about a week in

advance to interested individuals.

Anyone interested in attending and/or receiving the documents

should contact A. G. Nemeth (x7354) or J. Forgie (x7173) at

M.I.T Lincoln Labs, Lexington, Mass. 02173, (617) 862-5500.
