~wavy lines~~ I've never used this in anger, but I owned a second-hand Xerox Daybreak for a while to play around with. Later, there was a some freely available project (I've now forgotten) that used Interlisp running on an emulator running on a DEC Alpha, and so I added some minor bits to NetBSD's Ultrix compatibility.

The Lisp Machine emulator that was tied to DEC Alpha was Symbolics OpenGenera.

  Made me look: Xerox LFG Grammar Writer's Workbench: https://web.archive.org/web/20170907021542/https://www2.parc.com/isl/groups/nltt/medley/ https://web.archive.org/web/20170907021542/https://www2.parc...

Evidently the emulator was later ported to Linux as well.

    Did you use LFG Grammar Writer's Workbench for linguistics work or research back then? Ron Kaplan is looking to revive the system and make it run on Medley Interlisp again.

      Personally, neither — I just used it as a way to get a copy of Interlisp to play with.
