There were no system specific functions in 01960 because there was only one system, which is to say, one implementation of LISP. EVAL was dynamically scoped. And good luck getting any FEXPR-based code from 01960 to run!

Lucky us, writing FEXPRs was not a documented feature in the Lisp 1 manual from 1960.
