Does anyone out there know anything about the language SCHEME? I am told that it is "like LISP". Also, where does one get a SCHEME interpreter/compiler? Is there anyone interested in starting a USENET format on SCHEME if one does not already exist?

The December 1986 issue of SigPlan Notices contains the Revised^3 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme. A somewhat older dialect of Scheme is described in the excellent book "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" by Abelson and Sussman (MIT, 1985). -- Doug Moen (watmath!watcgl!kdmoen) University of Waterloo Computer Graphics Lab

You can get the whole "Revised**3 report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme" by sending a check for US$6.00 to Byron E. Robyn Publications - NE43-818 MIT Artificial Intellegence Laboratory 545 Technology Square Cambridge, Mass. 02139 Ask for AI Memo 848a I have it. It's about 1/4 inch thick. The Scheme definition is 43 pages long, with lots of examples. They also throw in a Sussman article concerning using Scheme for teaching. -Enjoy, Bill Yerazunis "You can get a lot further with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone" -Al Capone

Chez Scheme is used here at I.U. on VAXes -- you could contact Kent Dybvig, dyb@iuvax (or something like that). I don't use it, so I don't know much about its or others' availability. Texas Instruments has TI Scheme for MS-DOS machines. I do use that, and I like it. I don't think it's 100% R^3 compatible, but it's close.

Hi,
is there anybody who can tell me where I can get a copy of the SCHEME
language?

One of our graduate students wants to get
his hands on a langauge called scheme.
Can anyone tell me where it is available?
Are there free versions about, he asks,
without much hope....
Regards,
Steve

I believe that there is a version of scheme available from MIT. I don't have the specific file names, but I do have a email address for information. Here is the information that I have: Scheme Team c/o Prof. Hal Abelson 545 Technology Sq. rm 410 Cambridge MA 02139 Other relevant mailing lists: INFO-CSCHEME%OZ@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU Questions, notices of bug fixes, etc. Send mail to INFO-CSCHEME-REQUEST to be added. SCHEME@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU Applications, mostly for educational uses. Note that this mailing list is NOT MIT C Scheme specific. It covers general language issues, relevant to all the implementations of the scheme language (MIT's C Scheme, Yale University's T, Indiana University's Scheme84, Semantic Microsystems' MacScheme, and Texas Instruments' PC Scheme among others). Send mail to SCHEME-REQUEST to be added.

Does anybody know if there is an implementation of SCHEME for IBM mainframes (MVS)? I've been playing with a PC implementation called XSCHEME, but I find that most of my time available for playing around with it is at work, where I don't have quite so ready access to a PC. Thanks. -- Kevin
