Gentlepeople: I've been working on getting the Scheme 7.0 system running on a SparcStation. The sources are from prep. It builds a scheme image and mungs the binary files, but something is wrong either with microcode interpretation or with error handling (various things happen, mostly hanging after the "Type '^C`" message.) Some of my choices of parameters may be faulty, and I'm sure signal handling is faulty. Presumably Scheme 7.0 runs *somewhere* on a SparcStation. I would appreciate any pointers you have that may help. Thanks! - Greg Baran gregb@msri.org

I would appreciate any pointers you have that may help. Thanks! I am running Cscheme release 7.0 beta on exactly the hardware and software configuration described above. I sent back diffs of my changes to generate the Sun4 configuration to the system maintainers. If you cannot get them from MIT and they have not been incorporated into the latest release, I will try and regenerate the diffs for them and you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morry Katz Rockwell Science Center administrator@rpal.com (machine administration issues) katz@rpal.com (other) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
