I'm not sure exactly what you are asking:  I do not provide source code
for the system (but for the record, it is in MPW C and would be pretty
hard to port to a non-Macintosh, since I use (and abuse) the Macintosh
Toolbox widely).

The Scheme itself conforms as closely as I could make it to the R3
standard, with my extensions easily identifiable (e. g., by text search
through your files of your own Scheme source), so that it should be
relatively easy to port Scheme programs written in my system to
other R3 interpreters.
