@Pixel_Outlaw CL:IF just has (CL:IF TEST TEST-TRUE TEST-FALSE)
but in Interlisp you use 'then' and 'else' and 'elseif':
(IF (ZEROP Z) THEN (CHARACTER 0) ELSE TX)
@Pixel_Outlaw For most error corrections, DWIM asks the user if you want the error corrected. If you reply No, you'll get an error signal, and you can choose a different way of resolving the error.
@Pixel_Outlaw The problem wasn't DWIM.
The problem is that IL:* (asterisk in the Interlisp package) functions as a comment. You want CL:* or (not exactly the same) IL:TIMES.
Setting DWIMFLG to NIL probably deserves a warning.

@masinter What's fun and rewarding is to recreate the experience of what it was like ... not just words.
If you want to try NoteCards, go to https://t.co/aK6RXnB7Gb
(or https://t.co/ZPcjPAYp4l) -- to log in as guest shouldn't take more than a minute or two--more to read the online docs.
@luksamuk @clynbech We'd like some way to treat Medley as a server by firing up a prepared VM, using it to process some stuff (convert Lisp sources or TEdit files to Postscript, for example) and then shutting down.
Is that something Kubernetes could help with?
@larsbrinkhoff @RainerJoswig@dustyweb I thought at one time I was able to log into https://t.co/jI2q1CRE3V and run Interlisp-10 there ... no joy so far tho.
