UNIXcoffee928 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) I have been unable to find any reference material for INTER-LISP/65, aside from two mentions in Antic Magazine. Does anyone have the manual and/or any documentation for this language? Between the magazine articles, and the included source examples, I have enough to go on to make a usage document, BUT, I can't figure out how to source the LISP code into the interpreter. Meaning, how do you load a .LIS LISP source file into INTER-LISP/65? It uses a specific syntax that is CLOSE to BASIC, but I can't find any info on it, and the obvious tries failed. Also, how does one escape from the Error Mode, aside from hitting "Reset"? I have found a document that had a history of major LISP revisions over the years. It shows some of the coding differences amongst the variants, & it had enough to go on to get some code to run in the Datasoft INTER-LISP/65. After playing around with it, I thought that it would be fun to try writing some larger programs in it, since, unbelievably, it does support a lot of Atari specific features. Additionally, a lot of the gripes expressed about it in the second Antic review should now be mute points, since the emulator runs way faster, and supports more RAM. The nice thing about LISP is that you can write new commands for it. If it's any good in the emulator, I may do so, and bring it up to a higher compatibility level. EDIT: I have included the separate LISP.COM file which you can drop into any DOS. The REVISED text file is specific to just this file, while the original text file is specific to the whole .atr file. It contains the two Antic Magazine Articles, the beginnings of a command list (from the Antic article & source files), a hex dump of the LISP.COM file, and a disassembly of the file. You will find manuals & other info for the Original implementation of INTER-LISP here. Any info is appreciated.

UNIXcoffee928 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) OK... After going through the hex-dumps & comparing keywords to the articles, I've built up a fairly accurate command list for the INTERLISP language on the Atari. I've tested some of the commands, and they are noted in the usage column, with known good invocations. You'll find it listed below, and the same will be in an attached text file. I'll update this as I go along, testing each command. For now, here's something to play around with, if you're curious about the language. The attachment has a nicer format. =============================================================================== INTERLISP LANGUAGE USAGE =============================================================================== # (equivalent to NUMBERP) > (GREATERP) ' (cons ’a ’b) --->produces (A .

Urchlay Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I remember messing with Interlisp a long time ago. I had found a book on Lisp somewhere, and was trying to teach myself the language... but I didn't have any docs for Interlisp, and couldn't make it past about chapter 2 or 3 of the book because Interlisp doesn't have "defun" (define function). Years later, someone told me it was possible to define "defun" in terms of lower-level operations (I think he mentioned "lambda", which I see in your list). Have you gotten any of the Atari-specific graphics stuff working yet? Would be curious to know whether they're faster than BASIC's graphics commands...

cas Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I've documented Datasoft InterLISP for Atari in the old AtariWiki. The Articles have not been migrated to the new server so far. I also have scans of the original INTERLISP Manuals. I'll see that I upload this stuff later this week. Carsten 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNIXcoffee928 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 That would be great if you could post all of the documentation, including the scans! From what I have seen, it seems at least as fast as ATARI BASIC. If anyone has suggestions about making a POKED M/L benchmark program, that would be cool (since it would be easily ported between the two languages... I'd say that it should test each command while consulting a system timer, and write a log file, appending each command test with a start & stop timestamp, or total amount of units of a second. After the benchmark was run in both LISP & BASIC, comparisons could be drawn from the elapsed time in the timestamps. This would be a pretty good generic benchmarking program for the Atari for any language, actually.). The ATARI specific commands that I've gotten to work are noted. If there's a description under 'USAGE', then you will see a known good invocation of the command. Take a look at DEFINEQ to make new commands. Well, it's been fun hacking away at INTERLISP to discover it's secrets. For the mean time, until we can get some real documentation, here's the current results of my testing: =============================================================================== INTERLISP LANGUAGE USAGE =============================================================================== # (equivalent to NUMBERP) > (GREATERP) ' (cons ’a ’b) --->produces (A .

UNIXcoffee928 Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 I still have not been able to suss out how to LOAD or SAVE a file. I have tried A LOT of different combinations to no avail. Judging from the example source of EDIT.LIS it seems that it should be just: (LOAD filename) Based on this code snippet: (DEFINEQ L '(LAMBDA NIL ((LAMBDA (FILE) (PROGN (LOAD FILE) (PRIN1 (QUOTE "Loaded--> ")) (PRINT (EVAL FILE)))) (GETCMD (QUOTE "File> ")))) ) Soooo... it either uses some very twisted syntax other than this, or it may be possible that the two dists of the software (version 2.1) that are floating around on the web are LOAD & SAVE disabled demos... !!!

UNIXcoffee928 Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Ha, I found out why it's called "INTER-LISP/65"... Going through some ancient manuals, I ran across a reference to INTERLISP-10... "INTERLISP-10, the original implementation for the DEC PDP-10" (under the TENEX OS). So, I would gather that the /65 is a reference to 6502, as it is certainly not 1965, since the LISP variant 'INTERLISP' (AKA "INTER-LISP") first debuted in 1967. It's heritage is from BBNLISP. This leads me to presume that there may have been very similar ports to APPLE or other 6502 based systems from this company. There is some neat history on this wiki talk page. It is very cool to know that this was a major part of the early Xerox PARC workstations, and interesting to find out that it came from BBN, initially. Up until I had embarked on this INTERLISP project, I had been under the impression that the Infocom Z-machine had been the first virtual machine. Great history of Zork here. As it seems, INTERLISP had the Z-machine beat by a few years* in the VM department. *[MOO79]Moore II, J.S.: The InterLISP Virtual Machine Specification, Xerox PARC, Comp. Sc. Lab., CSL 76-5, Palo lto, Sep. 1976, rvsd. March 1979 It seems that INTERLISP was hugely utilized, judging from a find search in this bibliography. I ran across the manual for the minicomputer versions of INTERLISP in HTML form, I'll make it into a .pdf & post it. Datasoft's INTER-LISP/65 variant is a tiny microcosm of what the language specs for the larger machines covered. As mentioned, though, any command can be created at will, so it is completely possible to write code libraries that could use any of the info in the manual.

Loading a file should work with (LOAD 'D:filename) for literal filenames or (LOAD filename) of filename is a variable. You are invited to help documenting InterLISP/65 in the Wiki, if you like.

UNIXcoffee928 Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Thank you sooo much, Cas!!! Well, the ' char was one thing that I didn't try! Now I can REALLY start hacking this thing. I didn't see the manual scans on the wiki... really looking forward to going through those. As for now, though, I'm incredibly psyched that I can finally LOAD & SAVE! Cool. I'll report my findings on the editor, now that I can use it. Oh, yeah, you should note on your page that the .LIS extension is not used when LOADING, that it's just the straight filename in the LOAD command.

576XE Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 This is my gift for Atari fans. I've found that 'H' command of EDITor is broaken (in 2.1 version it's works perfectly). I'd like to ask is it possible to run ilisp 2.5 with SDX or any version of Sparta and how? Best wishes from Moscow.

UNIXcoffee928 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) Nice! Thank you very much! The manual refers to compatibility with the 2nd Edition Winston & Horn LISP book, stating that the examples in the book will work. The 3rd edition of the book is available here. There is also a surprising amount of INTERLISPstuff on Amazon. Finally, if you ever wondered what it was like to use a PDP-10, running TOPS-20, you can get an account on one, here. This particular machine has the infamous MDL programming language! That's right, the language that Zork was originally programmed in is supposed to be there! The PDP-10 was a very popular machine in the classical years of AI, and was the system where some of the biggest advances in Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Human-Computer Interaction happened. There is a short wait period, to be approved for an account... I just got my account, & will be trying it out shortly... It will be so cool, like a Time-Machine, to be logging into a system like that! I'm pretty stoked.
