Judging from the documentation, it's the same >interpreter that TI has been selling for $100 for several Actually, it's the Student Edition of TI PC-Scheme, omitting expanded/extended memory support and foreign functions, but including everything else. It's, of course, a fantastic deal. We've ordered it for our first year students (the campus Bookstore screwed the order up, so the students have to make do with NeXTs :-) I am given to understand that MIT also markets the full TI product, running at the same price (US$100) that TI charges (charged? I don't know whether TI still market it). As for PD/free versions, you might look at XScheme (available lots of places) and something Ozan Yagit has written, called PSI, which he promised us all he'd make available as a beta version RSN. -- \ Vincent Manis "There is no law that vulgarity and \ Department of Computer Science literary excellence cannot coexist." /\ University of British Columbia -- A.
