We've received a number of requests for information about MIT Scheme
distribution, so here it is:
MIT CScheme can be obtained in the following ways:
* Internet FTP:
Use anonymous ftp to "zurich.ai.mit.edu" (user "anonymous", any
password) and read the file "pub/scheme/README" for more
directions.
To obtain the beta release of the Liar native code compiler, read
the file "pub/liar/README". This release is for Sun 3 and HP 9000
series 300 (68020 models) only.
Alternatively, telnet to "prep.ai.mit.edu" as user "scheme",
password "scheme". Use the `ftp' program to obtain either the
file "dist.tar" or "dist.tar.Z" (a compressed version). The
directory "dist.split" contains the file "dist.tar.Z" split up
into 250 kbyte pieces.
* Magtape:
The cost of a distribution tape is $200 to cover our copying and
administrative expenses.
Send a check for $200 payable to MIT to:
Scheme Distribution
MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory

Please specify the tape format:
* Unix tar format, 9-track magtape, 1600 bpi
* VMS backup format, 9-track magtape, 1600 bpi
