Ok, ill bite.  Where can i find XScheme?  Preferably by anonymous ftp?
Any graphics support?  Can i end another sentence in a question mark?

I would like to find a R3RS compliant scheme that is free (or near to it)
that i can provide for student use in a course ill be teaching.  Scheme
will not be required, but id like to provide an alternative to Fortran
(ick).
