Bill Atkinson wrote QuickDraw (originally named LisaGraf) in Pascal on 
the Lisa, then rewrote it in assembly.  The assembly version was used on 
the Mac.  My vague recollection is that the assembly version also got 
used on the Lisa, but I could be wrong about that.  If so, it's probably 
the only shared code.  (Not counting MacWorks.)
