Editing Interlisp (section)

==Adaptations==
At Xerox PARC, an early attempt was made to define a [[virtual machine]] to facilitate [[porting]], termed the ''Interlisp virtual machine''. However, it was not useful as a basis for porting.

[[L. Peter Deutsch|Peter Deutsch]] defined a byte-coded instruction set for Interlisp, and implemented it as a [[microcode]] emulator for the [[Xerox Alto]]. This was then ported to a series of workstation designs produced by [[Xerox]] for internal use and for commercial exploitation, including on the Xerox 1100 (Dolphin), 1108 (Dandelion), 1109 (the floating-point enabled Dandetiger), [[Xerox Daybreak|1186 (Daybreak)]], and 1132 (Dorado). Interlisp implementations for these were known collectively as Interlisp-D. Commercially, these were sold as [[Lisp machine]]s and branded as Xerox AI Workstations when [[Larry Masinter]] was the chief scientist of that group. The same designs, but with different software, were also sold under different names (e.g., when running the Viewpoint system, the 1186 Daybreak was sold as the Xerox 6085.) Releases of Interlisp-D were named according to a musical theme, which ended with Koto, Lyric, and Medley. Later versions included an implementation of pre-[[American National Standards Institute]] (ANSI) [[Common Lisp]], named Xerox Common Lisp. LOOPS, the object system for Interlisp-D, became, along with [[Symbolics]]' [[Flavors (programming language)|Flavors]] system, the basis for the [[Common Lisp Object System]] (CLOS).

In 1974, [[DARPA]] awarded a contract to the [[University of California, San Diego]] (UCSD) to implement Interlisp on the [[Burroughs large systems|Burroughs B6700]].  The motivation was the larger virtual memory addressing space afforded by the B6700 architecture compared to the PDP-10.  However, by the time the software was released (1975), the PDP-10's address space had been increased, and Interlisp-10 remained the standard of the day for AI research.  The implementors were Bill Gord and Stan Sieler, with guidance from [[Daniel Bobrow]], and under the overall management of [[Kenneth Bowles|Dr. Ken Bowles]].  UCSD Interlisp included a compiler which emitted "p-code", which was could be intermixed with standard LISP code during interpretation.  This p-code appears to have preceded [[UCSD Pascal]] p-code by a year or two.

The PDP-10 version of Interlisp became ''Interlisp-10''; BBN had an internal project to build ''Interlisp-Jericho'' and there was a 1982 port to [[Berkeley Software Distribution]] (BSD) [[Unix]] on the [[VAX]] by [[Stanford University]], [[Information Sciences Institute]] (ISI) and Xerox PARC, called ''Interlisp-VAX''.<ref>{{cite report

In 1981, Warren Teitelman and [[Larry Masinter]] published a paper on Interlisp in [[IEEE Computer]] providing an overview of the system and its design philosophy, setting starts used for the platform.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Teitelman |first1=Warren |last2=Masinter |first2=Larry M. |date=April 1981 |title=The Interlisp Programming Environment |url=http://larry.masinter.net/interlisp-ieee.pdf |journal=IEEE Computer |volume=14 |issue=4 |pages=25–33 |doi=10.1109/C-M.1981.220410 |s2cid=13447494 }}</ref>

Also in 1981, a variant for the [[MOS Technology 6502]] processor, INTER-LISP/65, was released by [[Datasoft]] for the [[Atari 8-bit computers]]. In 1985 to 1987, a team from [[Fuji Xerox]] developed an implementation of the microcoded [[bytecode]] [[Interpreter (computing)|interpreter]] in the language [[C (programming language)|C]], and, together with Xerox AI Systems (XAIS) in [[Sunnyvale, California]], completed the port of the environment and emulator to the [[Sun Microsystems]] [[SPARC]] 4 architecture. In 1987, XAIS was [[Corporate spin-off|spun off]] into Envos Corporation, which failed almost immediately.

In 1992, an [[Association for Computing Machinery]] (ACM) [[Software System Award]] recognized the team of [[Daniel G. Bobrow]], Richard R. Burton, [[L. Peter Deutsch]], [[Ronald Kaplan]], [[Larry Masinter]], [[Warren Teitelman]] for their pioneering work on Interlisp.
