Best of both worlds / Franz Lisp GI/S (Was: REDUCE 1963)

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

Concerning notebooks, here is a Franz Lisp thingy
but not yet notebooks, a couple of document windows:

GI/S: A Graphical User Interface
For Symbolic Computation Systelns
Douglas A. Young and Paul S. Wang
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747717187800135

But notebooks are more tidy, aren't they? I basically
wish for a combination of both. Like a feature for

selecting an output cell and detach it from the notebook
into a separate window. This would be swell!

YouTube took a while to provide this for their videos,
mostlikely some notebooks can do that already.

Bye

P.S: The hardware spec of the GI/S host:
Although every attempt was made to keep the design of the
GI/S as device independent as possible, the choice of the
Tektronix 4404 naturally influenced the final design. The
4404 is equipped with 1.9 Megabytes of RAM, a 40 Megabyte
hard disk, and uses a 68000 based CPU running a Unix-like
operating system. The monochrome bitmapped graphics display
provides 480 by 640 pixels resolution on a 9.5 inch by 7.0
inch screen. The 4404 supports Franz Lisp [Foderaro, 1981],
Version 42, which adds flavors, packages, objects,
and other enhancements to Franz Lisp.
