   Is the source code for Coral Common Lisp 1.0 anywhere to be found?
   
   I'd be curious to see it. And I'm also curious how big the system was on the floppies (the Macintosh Plus doesn't seem to primarily use a tape drive, so I assume it came on floppies).

     @lispi314 Almost certainly not, hard enough tbh to even find updated copies of MCL 4 or any copy whatsoever of MCL 3

     @lispi314 @allison probably by not being compliant, CL wasn’t standardized when Coral CL was published. So the closest would have been CLtL1 or 2 .. which are much smaller languages.

     @allison Yeah, I searched around for a little while before asking.
     
     Because I'm really wondering *how* they managed to get a compliant implementation to run in 1MB.
     
     If it's using some paging to a larger storage device or set of devices, that's one thing, but if it fully fits in 1MB with the storage being removable after? That's on a whole other level.

     @amszmidt @lispi314 Yeah CLtL1 was definitely fairly slim, at least as Common Lisp goes (I have the book on my nightstand and I would be very surprised if it clocks over 600 pages or so)

     @allison @lispi314 465 pages it seems.

     @allison @lispi314 CLtL2 is 1029 pages.
