Just to be clear, it's LISA (Lazer Interactive Symbolic Assembler), not the Apple Lisa computer.

From the CiderPress LISA v2.x sources:

/*
 * Format:
 *  2-byte version (?)
 *  2-byte length
 *  <LINE> ...
 *
 * Each line is:
 *  1-byte length
 *  <DATA>
 *  CR
 *
 * Last line has length=255.
 */

which sounds like the same thing.
