Interlisp
Additial items for bibliography
I discovered another source of documents that don't seem to be covered...
There are archive sites which the normal search tools apparently don't reach. But the documents they store are still accessible, but only if you use the search tool on the archive site. ... many old tech reports at discover.dtic.mil -- the Defense Technical Information Center. Ignore the verbiage about logging in or setting up an account. Just type your search term into the box at the top right of the page, labelled "Enhanced by Google". If you can find them, the "contract number" associated with the project, or the "ADA number" identifying a specific document, are both good ways to do a search.
Searching for "Interlisp" and for "Xerox Lisp" will find many duplicates of entries we already have, but also many reports that mention Interlisp or Xerox Lisp machines.
It would be good to track down interesting new documents we haven't seen.
Some interesting finds.
AN EXPERT SYSTEM DECISION AID FOR A COMAND, CONTROL AND COMMUNICATIONS OPERATOR. An expert system developed with LOOPS on a Dandelion running Interlisp-D Harmony. It mentions a "Buttress" release of LOOPS which I've never heard of. Did LOOPS releases have codenames too?
Research on Interlisp and Network-Based Systems . By Teitelman.
Requirements Analysis and Design Technology Report: This 1994 report evaluated several commercial products for CASE applications and contained a Venue Medley product sheet. What's interesting is in 1994 Medley was still considered a viable product.
TOWARDS AN INFORMATION MODEL AND MECHANISMS FOR DESIGN RATIONALE CAPTURE AND USE. Briefly mentions NoteCards as a videotape transcription and idea cataloguing tool for a project.
The 1978 document by Teitelman is quite interesting. It's a progress report on the Interlisp maintenance work that covers some significant developments such as the origins of SYSOUT, a plan to create an online version of the IRM, and more.
I found an earlier, 1976 Interlisp development report by Teitelman: PROPOSAL FOR RESEARCH ON INTERLISP AND NETWORK-BASED SYSTEMS.
