     Has anybody made a successful port of the ELK (Extended Language Kit)
     Scheme interpreter to an Apollo  DN3500 (SR 10.2)
     What are the specialities for that installation ?

For whatever it is worth, here are the essential patches I applied to
get elk 1.2 running on an Apollo DN10000.  It should run with the same
setup on any of the Apollo m68k's including the 3500, though I haven't
tried.  Of course, with MACHTYPE=port you don't have general
continuations (call/cc only works ala catch/throw), but otherwise at
least the interpreter works all right.  I haven't tried the X
interface yet, though...
