Some time ago I asked where I could find implementations of FP.
Here follow the responses I received.  I am hesitating somewhat on whether
I should post this, but it seems to be good net etiquette.  Anyway, please
don't start bothering these people with all kind of questions.

Hi,
 
  There are at least three public domain implementations that I'm aware
of. They were posted to comp.sources.unix, and you may be able to get
them a archive site. They are, in the Imperial College archive :
 
  volume13/funcproglang/part0[12]
 
and
 
  volume10/ifp/part0[1-7]
 
and
 
  volume20/fpc/part0[1-6]
 
  The first two are interpreters and the last one is a compiler, I
think. I'm sorry I can't say anything about the merits of each one,
because I only got the first, and only played with it for a few minutes.
 
  Good luck,

I assume by FP you mean Backus' FP. Ed Biagioni at UNC-Chapel Hill
implemented it on the Suns and it was quite efficient. Perhaps you
should contact him (biagioni@cs.unc.edu).

I have a public-domain version of FP (IFP) that I wrote some years back.
There are five ways you might obtain it:

	1) Ftp to ``a.cs.uiuc.edu'' and look for pub/robison/ifp
        or pub/ifp.  I forget exactly where I put it, and don't know if
        its been deleted yet from those directories.  If it has not
        been deleted, then there should be a file called UNIX.TAR
	that contains the source code.

	2) I could try to e-mail you the source.  Its all written in
        fairly portable C.  The uuencoded and compressed source is 260 kbytes.

	3) Send me a self-stamped self-addressed envelope with two 360k floppies
	and I'll copy IFP onto them.

	4) I've already sent IFP to other people in Europe.  I can look
	up their addresses in my files this weekend and pass their addresses
	onto you.

	5) IFP was supposed to be distributed with BSD UNIX 4.4.  
	I don't know what the state of BSD 4.4 is.

There is an implementation of Illinois FP (IFP) available at U. Illinois
Urbana-Champaign.  Anonymous ftp to a.cs.uiuc.edu.  I don't recall exactly
where it is, but if you browse around you should find it.
