Freeman) Newsgroups: comp.lang.scheme,comp.sys.mac.programmer,comp.edu Subject: Shareware Scheme for Macintosh -- new release Message-ID: <839@argosy.UUCP> Date: 15 Jan 91 17:04:29 GMT Sender: news@argosy.UUCP Reply-To: freeman@maspar.com (Jay R. Freeman) Organization: MasPar Computer Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA Lines: 36 References: There is a 5 January 1991 upgrade of "Pixie Scheme", my shareware Macintosh Scheme interpreter, which is a rather complete (but slow) implementation of "R3"-dialect Scheme: Its main lack is numeric types beyond 32-bit signed integer and 32- and 80-bit floats. New this release is on-line help, a wimpy compiler, miscellaneous enhancements and some bug fixes. Pixie Scheme requires a Mac Plus or better, 1 MByte of RAM and Macintosh system software 6 or newer. The distribution includes two program versions (one uses 68020 / 68881 code) and a HyperCard help stack. It is too big to EMail -- 600 KBytes compressed, more after (eg) BinHex. I gave copies to BMUG and to Boston Computer Society Macintosh Group at the January 1991 MacWorld Expo. I mailed copies (postal service) to everyone I know who has put Pixie Scheme on a bulletin board or archive. Until 1 March 1991, I will mail you Pixie Scheme if you send me an 800 KByte disc, a mailer and return postage. (Non-US: about five international reply coupons.) If you take this offer you may ignore my (one-dollar) shareware donation request. USE A STOUT MAILER! Discs rub through plain envelopes in the mail, and stamp-cancelling machines damage them.
