Someone asked for volunteers to collect/collate/report results for the Scheme versions of the Gabriel benchmarks. I volunteer, but it would be better if we had a volunteer who wasn't associated with a Scheme vendor. If you're thinking of volunteering, please re-read the comments in Gabriel's book so you'll know what you're getting into. I'm sending copies of the Gabriel benchmarks in Scheme to those of you listed in the "cc:" line. (If you don't receive a copy of this message, then maybe I need a better address.) They will be arriving in four parts, each about 20K bytes. Because the benchmarks are so large, I would in the future prefer to send a Macintosh- or IBM PC-compatible floppy disk to those of you who can use them. Please send requests for the source code to: Semantic Microsystems 4470 SW Hall Blvd Suite 340 Beaverton OR 97005 (503) 643-4539 I'd appreciate a donation of $5 or so to cover the cost of the disk and its shipping. I suspect that's much less than it costs the network to transmit these things. William Clinger

A while back Will Clinger sent out his set of Gabriel benchmarks which he had rewritten in Scheme. I have sent a message directly to him asking for a copy, but I get no reply. Perhaps he is on vacation. But I need them now (so I don't have to write them myself). Does anyone have a copy they can send me or know of a machine from which I can ftp a copy? Thanks, Harold
