We have been using Chez Scheme, a commercial product which runs on Apollo DN3000/3500's, Sun-3's (I don't remember if it runs on Sun-4's), and VAXen. It is an outstanding system, comprising a very high-performance compiler and a complete language implementation. It isn't very expensive (I don't have the price list at hand, but it runs about US$1K per copy, with site licencing at about $10K, and educational discounts of 50%), but it's an excellent value. The publisher is Cadence Research, in Bloomington, Indiana. Sorry, but I also don't have Cadence's address at hand, but you can email to Kent Dybvig for more information. -- \ Vincent Manis "There is no law that vulgarity and \ Department of Computer Science literary excellence cannot coexist." /\ University of British Columbia -- A.
