   Has CScheme been ported to a 386 by anyone yet?  I looked at it briefly
   and there seems to be a lot of 68XXX code in it.  Does this assembly 
   stuff only pertain to the scheme compiler, and can I get the interpreter 
   up under SysV.  


The assembly code is only needed for the compiler.  The default
configuration bypasses all of it.

Porting it to a 386 should not be hard.  Most problems are usually in
the operating system interface, since there are so many variants of
Unix around.
