Has anyone ported C-Scheme to the Amiga? I've got the sources on my VAXen here at Villanova. Is it worth my time to try to make C-Scheme run on my 2.5 MByte Amiga? David Talmage Villanova University/University Computing and Information Services talmage@excalibur.UUCP talmage@vuvaxcom.BITNET

The memory image on the Pyramids is around 2 megabytes, so you should be able to fit it into memory. But you wouldn't be able to have much else in the machine. I would say that it wasn't worth it, but it depends on how much you want Scheme. If you do decide to try it, make sure you have the latest copy of C-Scheme from the Free Software Foundation. Between the 16.xx Emacs tapes and the 17.xx Emacs tapes, C-Scheme was changed in fairly major ways to make it more portable (I had a hard time bringing the 16.xx version up on the Pyramids, while the 17.xx version came up with no problem at all). -- Eric Lee Green ..!{ames,decwrl,mit-eddie,osu-cis}!killer!elg Snail Mail P.O.
