  MacLisp
       
          A dialect of {Lisp} developed at {MIT} AI Lab in 1966, known
          for its efficiency and programming facilities.  Later used by
          {Project MAC}, {Mathlab} and {Macsyma}.  Ran on the {PDP-10}.
          Introduced the {LEXPR} (a function with variable {arity}),


          {macro}s, {array}s, and {CATCH/THROW}.  Was once one of two
          main branches of LISP (the other being {Interlisp}).  In 1981
          {Common LISP} was begun in an effort to combine the best
          features of both.
