(MacScheme is a high performance byte code interpreter for the dialect of
LISP used at MIT in the introductory computer science course.  The text for
that course is Abelson and Sussman, "Structure and Interpretation of Computer
Programs", McGraw-Hill and MIT Press.)

Yes, and it is being used by several universities in their introductory
computer science courses.

An Apple Macintosh or Mac XL with 512K RAM.  The internal floppy is
sufficient, and MacScheme can use additional contiguous memory.

$125.

Send a letter and check to:

	Semantic Microsystems
	4470 SW Hall Street, Suite 340
	Beaverton OR  97005
	(503) 643-4539

(You may also hear of a California address.  The company began in Sausalito
aboard a rented sailboat but has moved to more practical quarters here in the
silicon forest.)

Note:  I was an author of MacScheme and have a financial interest in
Semantic Microsystems.  I now work for Tektronix, which has nothing to
do with any of this.
