EURISKO

The source for Doug Lenat's legendary EURISKO program has at long last been found and can now be run using Medley Interlisp.

How to run

• Install Medley Interlisp

• Open an Interlisp Exec by hold right-clicking on the background and releasing on "Interlisp" in the EXEC sub-menu.

• Change to the directory where you downloaded EURISKO

cd /home/foo/EURISKO/

• It is recommended to disable the Medley feature that asks to continue after a full page of text has been output. (This is reset on window resize)
