INTERLISP
INTERLISP is a LISP dialect developed at Xerox PARC from BBN LISP.
INTERLISP-10
The first version of INTERLISP was essentially a renaming of the latest iteration of BBN LISP, which was hosted on PDP-10 computers running TENEX. When built for running on a Maxc, it can use the compact Byte Lisp instruction set provided by that computer.
AltoLisp
The version of INTERLISP running on the Xerox Alto was called AltoLisp. AltoLisp served as a model and departure point for Interlisp-D. - Teitelman and Masinter.
Interlisp-D
INTERLISP was ported to the Xerox D machines, and this version was called Interlisp-D.
According to Larry Masinter: All Interlisp-D machines were microcoded to emulate a bytecode set that evolved only in small ways from the Deutsch design.
Other hosts
INTERLISP was ported to the IBM System/370, CDC 3300, Burroughs B6700, Jericho, PDP-11 (with hardware and microcode modifications), and VAX.
