      	   Has anyone ported Cscheme to a Mips Inc. MIPS/RiscOS system? 
         I want to have it running on one for a class I'm teaching in the Fall.

      				   Thanks,

      Not as far as I know.  Both the interpreter and the compiler have been
      ported to the Decstation 3100/2xxx/5000 with MIPS processors, so it
      should not be too hard to get them both running on MIPS/RiscOS, but
      some work would have to be done.

So far so good. I could get the interpreter to compile with only a few
minor nasty hacks (both DEC MIPS and MIPS MIPS #define "mips"; unfortunately
they are different in subtle ways....

Do you know of any standard set of tests that will abuse the interpreter,
especially the UNIX interfaces?

Do you know how I should return my changes to MIT for incorportation into
the distribution?
