  Interlisp
       
          A dialect of Lisp developed in 1967 by Bolt, Beranek and
          Newman (Cambridge, MA) as a descendant of {BBN-Lisp}.  It
          emphasises user interfaces.  It is currently supported by
          {Xerox PARC}.


       
          Interlisp was once one of two main branches of LISP (the other
          being {MACLISP}).  In 1981 {Common LISP} was begun in an
          effort to combine the best features of both.  Interlisp
          includes a Lisp programming environment.  It is {dynamically
          scoped}.  NLAMBDA functions do not evaluate their arguments.
          Any function could be called with optional arguments.
