NAME
oaklisp - The CMU implementation of Oaklisp
oakliszt - The Oaklisp file compiler
scheme - Oaklisp with R3RS compatibility package
SYNOPSIS
oaklisp [switches ...]
oakliszt file [locale [switches ...]]
scheme [switches ...]
DESCRIPTION
_O_a_k_l_i_s_p is an object-oriented dialect of Scheme. This
implementation is highly portable, compiling to a virtual
machine which is emulated by a C program. Nevertheless,
reasonable speed is achieved through a variety of sophisti-
cated techniques.
SWITCHES
-h x Set newspace size (in bytes) to x; default is 256k.
-Q Suppress all gc related output.
-d -b Dump the world when _o_a_k_l_i_s_p stops itself.
-G Perform a full gc before dumping the world.
ENVIRONMENT
If none of these are set _O_a_k_l_i_s_p will still work correctly.
Users compiling long files sometimes set OAKLISZT to "-h 2m"
in their initialization files.
OAKPATH Parent directory of the system. No trailing /.
OAKLISP Switches for _o_a_k_l_i_s_p, _o_a_k_l_i_s_z_t, and _s_c_h_e_m_e.
OAKLISZT Switches for _o_a_k_l_i_s_z_t alone.
OAKSCHEME Switches for _s_c_h_e_m_e alone.

DISTRIBUTION
The _O_a_k_l_i_s_p copyright belongs to its authors. In the spirit
of the Free Software Foundation, permission is granted to
use or redistribute _O_a_k_l_i_s_p freely and without fee, under
the conditions that neither it nor any derivative work be
sold and that the copyright notices remain clearly
displayed. _O_a_k_l_i_s_p may be included in larger systems, such
as the software bundled by manufacturers with their comput-
ers, provided that the legal status of _O_a_k_l_i_s_p itself
remains clear and that source is distributed when techni-
cally feasible.
BUGS
Floating point numbers are not supported. Rationals can be
used to make up for this lack.
In contrast to the error handling system, which is Indus-
trial Strength, the debugger is nonexistent.
There is no foreign function interface for loading and cal-
ling C routines from a running Oaklisp.
