[comp.lang.scheme] Scheme for the DEC 3100

talvola@janus.berkeley.edu (Erik Talvola) (06/12/90)

  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.

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.
