The Medley Interlisp Project<p>"The history feature of the UNIX C-shell introduced in the late 70’s was in fact patterned after the Interlisp history package." — Warren Teitelman</p><p>The history package is an Interlisp command history facility for Lisp expressions and command replay, undo, and editing. Teitelman introduced it in 1970 to BBN Lisp, the precursor of Interlisp.</p><p><a href="https://interlisp.org/documentation/History_of_Interlisp.pdf#page=4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">interlisp.org/documentation/Hi</span><span class="invisible">story_of_Interlisp.pdf#page=4</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/interlisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>interlisp</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unix</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>

The Medley Interlisp Project<p>SpinPro™ 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.</p><p>To learn more about SpinPro™ see this 1985 paper:</p><p><a href="http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/xerox/interlisp-d/newsletters/Masterscope_1-03_Aug85.pdf#page=2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bitsavers.org/pdf/xerox/interl</span><span class="invisible">isp-d/newsletters/Masterscope_1-03_Aug85.pdf#page=2</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ExpertSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExpertSystem</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/interlisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>interlisp</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/CommonLisp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommonLisp</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>
