Would someone mind telling me what the minimum hardware requirements for PC-Scheme are? Would it run, for instance, on a Toshiba T1000SE laptop w/o hard disk? Does it take advantage of expanded memory? -- KiYun Roe kroe@sbcs.sunysb.edu Department of Computer Science SUNY at Stony Brook Stony Brook, NY 11794-4400 (516) 632-7675

The EDWIN text editor requires a minimum of 512L bytes of memory. Also, graphics hardware support is required to use the graphics features of PC Scheme. PC Scheme will use expanded or extended memory (by running different executables) but runs fastest in standard memory. David Boyer

I have run PC-Scheme on an original T1000, with no extra memory. You don't have a lot of free disk space, and you can't easily use Edwin (at least with moderately sized programs), but it does work. PC-Scheme will use up to 2MB of memory, but it runs ok on a 512K machine. -- \ 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.
