Can anyone tell me what Scheme's are available for the DEC 3100? Cadence said last winter that they would have Chez Scheme out sometime in the summer, and I think I read that C-Scheme is out. Also, does anyone have an e-mail address for Cadence? Thanks in advance... -- +----------------------------+ !

We were looking at buying DECStation 3100's for our new first year lab. Cadence said that they were committed to delivering a 3100 implementation, and that they expected it to be ready in July. In the event, we bought NeXTs instead. We're using a pre-release version of Chez Scheme. -- \ Vincent Manis <manis@cs.ubc.ca> "There is no law that vulgarity and \ Department of Computer Science literary excellence cannot coexist." /\ University of British Columbia -- A.

You can get the Scheme->C compiler from gatekeeper.dec.com:pub/DEC. This translates Scheme to C & the compiles that. Or, you can use the 'sci' interpreter. I haven't used this for big applications, but they're fairly nice Scheme environments for UNIX. You get a great UNIX interface, and there's a libX interface as well. There's also SCIX, a native scheme interface using an object-oriented macro package & an object-oriented representation of X.
