MacScheme ran well on a Mac with only 512k. What does a Mac have that an Amiga doesn't? This is not a rhetorical question. Here at CMU I tell people that CommonLisp is a pig for needing 6M and you are saying 4M would be nice. Has anyone given consideration to a minimally sized implementation? - Andrew Hudson
