has anyone ported Cscheme to the mac 2? Or any other Public domain scheme (or T for that matter)?

I also would like to know about any ports of Cscheme to either the Mac 2 or any other Unix system 5 rel 2 machine. I was about to send mail on this topic this morning when I found that someone had beaten me to it by 1 day. Morry Katz -------

MacScheme is alleged to run on the Mac 2 (I haven't seen it). According
to the documentation for version 1.5, it runs ok, though there are apparently
some rough edges. MacScheme comes with a really good native-code compiler.
Publisher is Semantic Microsystems, in Portland.
There is also an implementation called XScheme, which is still under
development. The author is David Betz, who wrote XLisp. It uses a bytecoded
interpreter, so it's not wildly fast, but it is highly portable. Versions
exist for PC, Atari ST, and Mac. I've read the code for the prerelease
Mac version that's on BIX, and I'd expect it to run ok on a Mac 2. (No
toolbox support, though). XScheme is intended as a tool for experimentation,
not a production system (don't try to run Macsyma on it!), but it *is*
free.

From my experience MacScheme runs very happily on a MacII. The guys from Semantics (and Will Clinger) did a go job following the Apple rules. I will also run under Multi-finder in the background and under A/UX using the toolboxdeamon. Note: Stand alone applications generated via the native code compiler also run on the MacII and under A/UX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark A.

Publisher is Semantic Microsystems, in Portland. ... I run MacScheme on a Mac II all the time. It works fine. (The version of Toolsmith that I have does not interface to all the new routines in Volume V of "Inside Macintosh"--I obtained Toolsmith before Volume V had even been published--but this aside I have been very happy with it. I have done nontrivial Toolbox hacking to do some nifty dialog boxes.) My wife Barbara has implemented at least one full-blown, double-clickable application in MacScheme, and uses the resulting application routinely. --Guy Steele

I transferred r2 to MPW C and ran it thru Gnu-CP and MPW C (its preprocessor wouldn't accept CScheme's #define's; too many levels) without much difficulty. But no toolbox etc. support yet as I don't know much (read that as "anything") about the internal organization of CScheme, eg where to put your own REP interface, how to put in output to windows, ... I probably will do that if/when there's time (right now there isn't) and if I get pointers to more detailed information about CScheme. -- Matthias Urlichs CompuServe: 72437,1357 Delphi: URLICHS Rainwiesenweg 9 8501 Schwaig 2 "Violence is the last refuge West Germany of the incompetent." -- Salvor Hardin
