I used to work on a "REAL LISP" application - a telecommunications Network
Manager using upto 13 Xerox 1186's. Three were servers, providing a secure
database, and the rest were workstations for managing the telecommunications
hardware. It was written (written, sorry I mean hacked :-) using Interlisp and
Loops.

Incidentally, IMHO I think that the Xerox Interlisp environment is still the
sexist that I have ever seen.
