Several years ago I wrote a partial Scheme interpreter in Prolog.  It
was partial in that most of the Scheme built-in functions were not
implemented. The syntax was very Prolog-ish.  I did do a continuation
passing implementation, so call-with-current-continuation was
included.  I did this mostly as an exercise in seeing how an
interpreter for a Lisp-like language would come out.  I would be happy
to send it to any interested individuals or post it to
comp.lang.prolog if there is a lot of interest.
