T \T\ (t[=e]),
the twentieth letter of the English alphabet, is a nonvocal
consonant. With the letter h it forms the digraph th, which
has two distinct sounds, as in thin, then. See Guide to
Pronunciation, [sect][sect]262-264, and also [sect][sect]153,
156, 169, 172, 176, 178-180. The letter derives its name and
form from the Latin, the form of the Latin letter being
further derived through the Greek from the Ph[oe]nician. The
ultimate origin is probably Egyptian. It is etymologically
most nearly related to d, s, th; as in tug, duke; two, dual,
L. duo; resin, L. resina, Gr. "rhti`nh, tent, tense, a.,
tenuous, thin; nostril, thrill. See {D}, {S}.

from its shape. It is laid on a drawing board and guided

T
1. True. A {Lisp} compiler by Johnathan A. Rees in 1982 at
{Yale University}. T has {static scope} and is a
near-superset of {Scheme}. {Unix} source is available. T is
written in itself and compiles to efficient native code. Used
as the basis for the Yale {Haskell} system. Maintained by
David Kranz .
Current version: 3.1.
{(ftp://ftp.ai.mit.edu/pub/systems/t3.1)}.
A {multiprocessing} version of T is available
{(ftp://masala.lcs.mit.edu/pub/mult)}.
Runs on {Decstation}, {SPARC}, {Sun-3}, {Vax} under {Unix},
{Encore}, {HP}, {Apollo}, {Macintosh} under {A/UX}.

Rewriting", Ida et al, Proc of Prog Future Generation
Computers, 1988].
3. (lower case) The {Lisp} {atom} used to represent "true",
among other things. "false" is represented using the same
atom as an empty list, {nil}. This {overloading} of the basic
constants of the language helps to make Lisp {write-only
code}.
4. In transaction-processing circles, an abbreviation for
"transaction".
5. (Purdue) An alternative spelling of "{tee}".
