You encountered this book in 01996? Is that around the time of the Norman Conquest?

I'm assuming you're using octal here. Myself, I haven't used octal since 03677.

I see you mentioned https://interlisp.org/ ; while it's not a Lisp machine, the Medley Interlisp Project aims to recreate the Interlisp environment that ran on Xerox D-machines up through the 1980s or so. Still very interesting.
