Using SBCL and McCLIM I wrote an Interlisp tool in modern Common Lisp with a CLIM GUI. That's what happens when one is having too much fun with Lisp.

@amoroso huh, it’s interesting how medley saves code in a non-plain format but it’s not a database of functions either, _and_ it embeds presentational instructions in the files? Wild

[amoroso@oldbytes.space]

@autumnwinds Right, something similar to Smalltalk.

@amoroso I'm somewhat hopeful I can revive Interlisp-10 running on TENEX. I got hold of this file called <SUBSYS>LISPX.SAV

@larsbrinkhoff That would be great. I hope the version you got includes the original Interlisp-10 HELPSYS which is missing from twenex.org.

@amoroso @masinter No, HELPSYS is not included with that version, nor are any other supplementary files.

However, I see some HELPSYS stuff among files from SUMEX-AIM, another big Interlisp site. There is a <HELPSYS> directory with each file being a chapter in a manual. And there is what could possibly be the HELPSYS code:

FILECREATED "17-APR-78 13:36:06" <NEWLISP>HELPSYS.;1

Does this seem helpful?
