The Medley Interlisp ProjectIf you run Medley Interlisp on your local computer, what operating system do you use most of the time to run it?

The Medley Interlisp ProjectIf an error on Medley Interlisp lands you in a debugger window like this, press Ctrl-D to exit and return to the top level; type ^ and ENTER; or select ^ from the middle-click menu shown here.Ctrl-D immediately goes to the top level from any debugger. ^ closes the most recent and switches to the previous of a series of debuggers of nested errors, or back to the top level if there are no other debuggers.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/interlisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#interlisp</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lisp</a>

The Medley Interlisp ProjectDLISP, developed at Xerox PARC in the second half of the 1970s, was the first client-server window system. A window server ran on Alto workstations connected via Ethernet to Interlisp running on the MAXC PDP-10 clone.For details on the use and design of DLISP see:<a href="https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.bitsavers.org/pdf/xerox/parc/techReports/CSL-77-3_A_Display_Oriented_Programmers_Assistant.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.bitsavers.org/pdf/xerox/parc/techReports/CSL-77-3_A_Display_Oriented_Programmers_Assistant.pdf</a><a href="https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/965103.807428" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/965103.807428</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/interlisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#interlisp</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/lisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lisp</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a>

The Medley Interlisp Project"The history feature of the UNIX C-shell introduced in the late 70’s was in fact patterned after the Interlisp history package." — Warren TeitelmanThe history package is an Interlisp command history facility for Lisp expressions and command replay, undo, and editing.

Paolo AmorosoThe Xerox PARC alumni who contribute to the Medley Interlisp project shared the buttons they collected at computing conferences in the 1980s and 1990s such as AAAI, IJCAI, SIGGRAPH.The buttons are awesome and span a range of languages and systems such as Interlisp, Lisp Machines, Smalltalk, Unix, Modula-2, Mesa, Pilot, and more.

The Medley Interlisp ProjectSpinPro™ was an expert system to design procedures for Beckman Instruments ultracentrifugation machines at biochemistry labs. Developed in Interlisp-D on Xerox 1108 workstations, SpinPro™ was deployed to IBM PC/XT computers as an application that ran under Golden Common Lisp by Gold Hill.To learn more about SpinPro™ see this 1985 paper:<a href="http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/xerox/interlisp-d/newsletters/Masterscope_1-03_Aug85.pdf#page=2" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/xerox/interlisp-d/newsletters/Masterscope_1-03_Aug85.pdf#page=2</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ExpertSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ExpertSystem</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/interlisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#interlisp</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/CommonLisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CommonLisp</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a>
