<3772@uoregon.uoregon.edu> akm@drizzle.UUCP (Anant Kartik Mithal) :
-Many of us in our department have begun to use TI Scheme for situations
-where we need to program in Lisp. It is an excellent implementation,
-is highly standard (Scheme is much more standardized than Lisp), and
-the TI version has support for both extended as well as expanded memory.
-The student price is $57, and it comes with extensive documentation.

I also like TI Scheme quite a bit (although people around here may not
believe me :-)  However, according to my information the Student
version 3.0 differs from the Professional version 3.0 by NOT including
the extended/expanded memory support, or the external language
interfaces.  Both versions have some IBM PC graphics support (which I'm
not too familiar with).  Based on versions 1.0 and 2.0, the
Professional package should cost around $100 - $150 ?
