Hi, Does anyone know if there are fully-functional versions of Common Lisp and Common Scheme for the Amiga? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Rory Molinari molr@csis.dit.csiro.au

If you happen to have an Amiga 3000, I'm sure that KCL (Kyoto Common Lisp) could be brought up under Unix. I spent some time looking at porting KCL to AmigaDOS, and it will not be an easy task, even if possible. I did, however manage to get MIT Scheme 7.0 running (in the unknown machine configuration... meaning it's missing some nice features, but is useable.) When I get a machine (3000 hopefully) back, I hope to clean up and finish the port, but using 7.1. If you'd like a copy of the working 7.0 (I lost the machine, but kept the 15 Megs of source) I can send it to you. I think that I may only have 68020/30 executables, and I never tried to bring it up on a 68000. Oh yeah, and this is just the Interpreter and the Syntaxer, no compiler yet (it's all quite large for an Amiga). By the way, this system is by far the nicest Lisp/Scheme I've seen available ... even for Unix... It's the closest thing to a Lisp Machine around.
