The text-only system contains the original code partially converted from MacLisp to GNU CLisp, and runs (albeit with an error that can be skipped) in a modern CLisp version.
But it's still buggy[1] and sometimes hangs, it would be great if someone could set up a containerized MacLisp version on a PDP6 emulator.
[1] SHRDLU was never per se robust, but in this case there are clearly bugs from the conversion
- rjsw 4y agoIt should be fairly easy to get the original code working in the MIT CADR emulator, could even add a GUI.
- DonaldFisk 4y agoIt was written in 1970, in an early version of MACLISP, to run on an early version of ITS. It would require a fair amount of work to port the code to Lisp Machine Lisp so that it could run on the CADR emulator.
- gattilorenz 4y agoSome (relatively successful) attempts were made to run it in an emulated PDP: https://github.com/PDP-10/its/issues/147 https://github.com/PDP-10/its/issues/147
