I'm soon going to publish the sources of a R3RS compliant Scheme
interpreter written in C; it should be easily portable to Atari-
or Amiga-type machines.  The distribution contains an interface to
both the Xlib and the X toolkit (Xt) which allows Scheme programmers
to make use of Xt widgets.  The functionality of the Xlib interface
is similar to that of CLX.
However, the interface to the X Window System is a prototype and currently
undocumented (if you don't count demonstration programs as documentation).
