ADOPTION It was later adopted at Xerox PARC , and in its Interlisp-D incarnation, was the variety of Lisp which ran on the Xerox 1108 and 1186 " AI Workstations ". Interlisp was notable for the integration of interactive development tools into the environment, such as a Debugger , an automatic correction tool for simple errors ( DWIM - "do what I mean"), and analysis tools. ADAPTATIONS Later a Virtual Machine was defined in order to facilitate porting, known as the "Interlisp virtual machine". At PARC, Interlisp was ported to the Lisp Machine s in development there, and was known as Interlisp-D. A 1982 port of the virtual machine to the VAX running BSD Unix resulted in Interlisp-VAX. In 1987 , Interlisp was ported to the Sun Microsystems SPARC 4 architecture by a team at Xerox AI Systems (XAIS) in Sunnyvale, California . Later that year, XAIS, which had been a money-loser for some time for Xerox, was spun off into Envos Corporation , which almost immediately failed. In 1992 , an ACM Software System Award recognized the team of Daniel G. Bobrow , Richard R. Burton , L. Peter Deutsch , Ronald M. Kaplan , Larry Masinter , Warren Teitelman for their pioneering work on Interlisp. REFERENCES
