I wonder if SBCL 0.6.8 runs on Windows 98
23:44:08

actually implementing a common lisp for PDP-10 would be interesting

(hmm, 0.6.8 is the oldest tagged version... SBCL news on the website goes back to 0.6.0, though)

The general idea is to preempt 077, Del in ECMA-1, to show that a non-Sixbit character has been encoded in the general style of UTF-8

I did use to assign 16-bit magic numbers for binary data using RADIX50, though

jcowan: sounds like it loses the big advantage of utf8, which is that you can always identify continuation bytes (sextets?)

(though there may not be very much you can do about that ...)

Yes. Perhaps it's more like SRFI-7
23:49:43
jcowan
Ah, no, what it preempts is SI and SO, so because there are always both you can identify sequences.

buut it is less bounded than UTF-8

It should be possible to run CLISP using one of the several C compilers avaiilable for TOPS-10/20.

JIT is of coourse another story altogether

jcowan: The "estimate" part is exactly that, i.e., branching.
