I'm looking for scheme or lisp for VMS. As usual (sigh) the more inexpensive the more desirable. Thanks in Advance Chris Seline scs7317%ocvaxa@vb.cc.cmu.edu (internet) scs7317@ocvaxa.oberlin.edu (CSnet) ihnp4!oberlin!ocvaxa!scs7317 (UUCP) SCS7317@oberlin.bitnet (BITNET -- if your database is up to date)

I ftp'd Scheme as described below, and got it running without much trouble on our 8600, VMS 4.4. You only need to save a few of the (many) files created during installation; our executable version takes up 4534 disk blocks. I believe this is the latest distribution message from MIT: ------ date: Thu, 12 Nov 87 04:10:39 est From: cph@KLEPH.AI.MIT.EDU (Chris Hanson) Subject: Release 6.1 Reply-To: cph@mc.lcs.mit.edu CScheme release 6.1 is now available, incorporating several changes from the previous release (5.3): * VMS pathname parsing and installation greatly improved. The previous release did not correctly install according to the instructions. This has been fixed. Also, it is possible to install directly using the DECUS `tar' program; a file is included (at the top level of the "dist.tar" file) which will create the appropriate subdirectories. * A `define-structure' macro, very similar to the Common Lisp `defstruct' macro, has been implemented. See the file "runtime/defstr.scm" for a description of the differences between the two. * A number of minor bugs have been fixed. How C Scheme may be obtained: * Internet FTP: Telnet to "prep.ai.mit.edu" as user "scheme", password "scheme". Use the `ftp' program to obtain either the file "dist.tar" or "dist.tar.Z" (a compressed version). The directory "dist.split" contains the file "dist.tar.Z" split up into 250 kbyte pieces. * Magtape: The cost of a distribution tape is $200 to cover our copying and administrative expenses. Send a check for $200 payable to MIT to: Scheme Distribution MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory 545 Technology Square Cambridge, Ma. 02139 Please specify the type of type: * Unix tar format, 9-track magtape, 1600 bpi * VMS backup format, 9-track magtape, 1600 bpi * Unix tar format, HP-UX cartridge tape -------
