A Program Feature for CONVERT

Abstract

A program feature has been constructed for CONVERT, closely modeled after the similar facility found in many versions of LISP. Since it is functional or operational in nature, it has been included as a skeleton form, together with a number of related operator skeletons. This Memo describes them, and also the RUL mode, which allows the user to specify arbitrary components of a pattern as the result of a computation performed while the matching process is taking place.
