Hi James,

	Glad to see that you survived the demise of EnVos.

	As I recall you have a number of stories to tell about LISP
	hacking.  In particular I seem to remember something about
	how a certain LISP system made use of the symbol TAK very
	early in its gen process so as to improve its benchmark
	timings.  Of course I may be remembering all wrong...

						Andy
