@interlisp ☝️ A vertical scroll bar at the left edge of a window. Wait, what?

@amoroso @interlisp left scrollbars were a thing on #lispmachine systems. Genera image attached. Probably something where the MIT Lisp Machine was inspired by Interlisp-D or Smalltalk?

In the 1980s some Xerox Lisp Machines came with an IBM PC/XT expansion card that allowed running MS-DOS software from the Interlisp-D environment, like the black window of a spreadsheet program at the bottom left. This screenshot is from a flyer of the Xerox 1186 AI workstation.

Xerox 1186 one-page flyer

Screenshot of the black and white desktop of a 1980s graphical workstation environment. The desktop has a gray background pattern and several windows with a white background and a title bar with white text on a black background. The windows display Lisp source code, icons, scientific and business charts, a spreadsheet program, a virtual keyboard, and other graphical elements.

If you have a debugger, all problems are trivial. #LispM#LispMachine hacking gone wild!

I updated my post "Do I need a Lisp Machine comeback?". I have added the new information I've found with chatting with folks on lisp IRC channels.

https://far.chickenkiller.com/computing/do-i-need-a-lisp-machine-comeback/

Seems like I was looking for was "residential style development" or something. Dunno yet what does it mean. But for sure I am digging something out of grave!

Someone should write some #MIT#CADR microcode and supporting code to make it possible to run #Interlisp / #Medley on the #MIT#LispMachine#LispM
