Friendly Loops Primer

[Arun Welch]

I found a physical copy of “The Friendly Loops Primer” in my files, but can’t find this referenced in either Zotero or anywhere on the GitHub. It’s in the same style is the Friendly Interlisp Primer, and was produced by the same group at U Pitt. There is a Xerox-produced, cleaned up version in Zotero/BitSavers.

It’s got a bunch of blank pages where source code was supposed to be inserted.

Shall I scan it in? Is it useful at all?

Bitsavers has a copy with some chapters out of order http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/xerox/interlisp-d/198510_Koto/3102242_Xerox_LOOPS_A_Friendly_Primer_Mar87.pdf

Aside from the incorrect order of some chapters, Bitsaver's copy of the LOOPS primer seems complete and with no missing code.

Yes, that’s the Xerox version of the document, far more polished than the document I have. I think what I have is a review version, there’s handwritten corrections on it. It’s probably not useful for documentation, just possible historical use.

Agreed, your copy has historical value.
