/* ---------- "MacScheme Query" ---------- */
Can someone tell me:

    Is MacScheme by Semantic Microsystems released?  If so:

    What hardware is required?
    What is the cost?
    How can it be ordered?

Thanks.

MacScheme IS currently available from Semantic Microsystems.  A 512K or
larger Mac is required.  Only one disk drive is necessary.  The cost is
$125.00 plus 6% sales tax for CA residents.  (University and industrial
site licenses are also available.)  To order MacScheme, just send $125.00
plus tax, if applicable to:

            Semantic Microsystems
            1001 Bridgeway Suite 542
            Sausalito, CA  94965

By the way, I spoke with the president of Semantic Microsystems.  She claims
that you can compile large programs by having MacScheme forget the source
code after it has compiled it.  She said she has compiled a 30 page Lisp
program using MacScheme.

In most benchmarks, MacScheme code executes faster than ExperLisp.
