The Medley Interlisp Project

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.

To learn more about SpinPro™ see this 1985 paper:

@interlisp there is also other #Interlisp software described in that paper. Interesting!

@interlisp @symbolics Do any of these applications survive anywhere? Or any Interlisp apps apart from the ones written at Xerox?

@wm_annis The code of SpinPro™ is still preserved. As for other surviving Interlisp applications written outside of Xerox, we're very interested too but so far have been unable to track down any.
