I'm looking for an interpreter or compiler for Scheme for an IBM PC. Does anyone out there know of a reasonably cheap (i.e., free) version? Thanks. Bob Muller

I'm posting this since it might be of general interest. Xscheme, the Scheme equivalent of Xlisp is available from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu by ftp and from osu-cis.uucp by uucp. It is /pub/Xscheme.tar on tut. It make properly on pc's and Unixes and is writeen in C.

Retail from TI in Dallas is about $95, and there are substantial educational discounts. TI's implementation is very fast, has gobs of good features (including understanding '87 chips, expanded and extended memory, etc.), suffers only a handful of bugs, and is wonderfully documented. Unless you're _really_ short on cash, it's not worth messing with anything else.
