Disclaimer for Interlisp Book 1? #1080

Open masinter opened 1 year ago

masinter commented 1 year ago

In discussion https://groups.google.com/g/interlisp/c/ALbf30uMD98/m/srY9OBAtBQAJ the examples on page 283 are unfortunately incompatible with Medley since DEFMACRO for Interlisp was added by using symbol identity (EQ 'CL:DEFMACRO 'IL:DEFMACRO) -- and (EQ 'CL:EQ 'IL:EQ) -- and PUSH and POP were added to Interlisp (before Lyric and Common Lisp) image

I think at present we should at least add a disclaimer to the cover of the book that indicates which version of Interlisp it was based on (1984?)
