We are in the process of installing an HP 9000/835se and need to know of an implementation of scheme that runs on said machine. We also need to know of implementations that run on a SUN 3/180 and similar machines. Public domain implementations that can be ftp'd would be nice but commercial products are okay too. Thanks all.

The T language has a Scheme environment which is about 99% compatible with the Scheme standard, based on my recent experience porting several thousand lines of Scheme code to the T system. The quality of the T compiler is very good, producing code which is comparable in speed to Pascal and C. It also adds some useful extensions to Scheme, including multiple return values, a simple object system, debugger and inspector, macros, structures, hash tables. It is available for VAXes, Sun 3, Apollo, HPs, and both parallel and sequential versions for Encore Multimax. According to the information I have from Lisp Pointers Vol. 1, #6, it is available by FTP from some sites at MIT, but I just tried there, and I couldn't find it. Maybe someone else can give the latest info on how to get it. -------

Several people have asked me about the Lisp Pointers publication which I mentioned in my previous posting. It is a free publication which is unrefereed, but usually contains interesting articles. It is sponsored by various generous companies and organizations. It comes out quarterly. According to the information I have, you can get a subscription by sending a note with your name, address, and whether or not your name can be released to a commercial mailing list, to: Lisp Pointers Mary S. Van Deusen, Editor IBM Watson Research PO Box 704 Yorktown Heights, NY 10598 As for getting versions of T by anonymous FTP, I have found out that they are on trix.ai.mit.edu (128.52.32.6), in the directory pub/t3.1. -------
