## The Short History

Interlisp is a software development environment, originating from Xerox PARC in the 1970s and 1980s. supporting software research in AI, computational linguistics, graphical user interfaces, hypertext, and other research areas. Software development in Interlisp-D is a different experience than is common, even today. The features of structure editing, source code management, code analysis and cross-referencing combined to support rapid incremental development. The 1992 ACM Software System Award was awarded to the Interlisp system for pioneering work in programming environments.

Interlisp evolved from an interactive terminal style programming tool to Interlisp-D -- GUI and the entire operating system for the Xerox Lisp machines (called D-machines, named Dorado, Dolphin, Dandelion, Daybreak) with a common byte-code virtual machine. The virtual machine was then ported to C for Sun Unix and many other Unix systems, and the system was extended to support the Common Lisp standard as well.

* **Browser compatibility:** Older browsers may not support the VNC software we use; it should give you a warning if this is detected.

* **control-character conflicts:** different browsers may intercept user typing control-characters; for example, control-W often is used to close the entire Medley window. Running Medley "full screen" (using Chrome) avoids some of these.

* **No guarantees:** In general, Medley has NO WARRANTEE, but in particular we make no guarantees that private information will not be revealed, or that your files uploaded to your account will be held securely.

**control-character conflicts:** Different browsers may intercept user typing control-characters; for example, control-W might close the entire Medley window, rather than backward-delete a word. There is no standard fix: Using Chrome in "full screen" mode; using a browser extension which captures the control-character for its own operations might help.
