I've installed two Scheme implementations for Sun and Linux on Athena:
scm 4d9 is a compact but fast command-line implementation. I built it with the
following features, as reported by the value of the *features* variable:
(unix array-for-each record pipe posix regex curses xlib string-case compiled
bignum complex real rational inexact vicinity ed getenv tmpnam abort transcript
with-file ieee-p1178 rev4-report rev4-optional-procedures hash object-hash
delay dynamic-wind fluid-let multiarg-apply multiarg/and- logical defmacro
string-port source current-time sharp:semi directory line-i/o i/o-extensions
sun-dl dump char-ready? values full-continuation array sicp system)
The SLIB library is included in the installation.
There is pdf documentation at the top level of the scm_v5d9 locker. To run it:
add scm
scm
-----------------------------
Dr. Scheme 208 is an implementation at the opposite extreme from scm- it
is large, with many bells and whistles, including graphics, a GUI
development environment and elaborate help system; it is designed for
teaching, with many options for beginning students. To run it;
add drscheme
drscheme & (for the full GUI development environment)
mred & (for a reduced GUI environment supporting graphics)
mzscheme (for a command-line interpreter)
help-desk & (to run the help system outside the Scheme environment)
Besides the online help, there are pdf docs in the /mit/drscheme_v208/doc
directory in the drscheme_v208 locker.
Both of these should also run on non-Athena Linux machines running the
Open AFS client.
