- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- Subject: [2-1] Free Scheme implementations.
-
- Repositories of Scheme source code are described in the answer to
- question [1-9].
-
- Remember, when ftping compressed or compacted files (.Z, .z, .arc, .fit,
- etc.) to use binary mode for retrieving the files.
-
- Files that end with a .z suffix were compressed with the patent-free
- gzip (no relation to zip). Source for gzip is available from:
- prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/
- as the files gzip-1.2.4.shar, gzip-1.2.4.tar,or gzip-1.2.4.msdos.exe.
-
- Repositories of Scheme implementations:
-
- Many free Scheme implementations are available from swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu
- [18.43.0.246]. See also the Scheme Repository described below.
-
- The Scheme Repository contains a Scheme bibliography, copies of the
- R4RS report, sample Scheme code for a variety of purposes, several
- utilities, and most free implementations. (Implementations of Scheme
- available from the repository include elk, gambit, scm, fools, rabbit,
- s48, scheme84, scheme88, pseudo, xscheme, umb-scheme, siod, vscm, and
- pixiescheme.) The repository was established by Ozan S. Yigit and
- is currently maintained by David Eby and John Zuckerman
- <scheme-repository-request@cs.indiana.edu>. The repository is
- accessible by anonymous ftp at
- ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/scheme-repository/ [129.79.254.191]
- The repository is mirrored in INRIA, courtesy of Christian Queinnec
- [Ecole Polytechnique and INRIA-Rocquencourt], ftp.inria.fr:/lang/Scheme.
- (See also [1-9].)
-
- Scheme implementations:
-
- BIGLOO is a Scheme interpreter and compiler. It conforms to the
- IEEE-Scheme standard (IEEE P1178) with some extensions, such as
- regular expression parsing (RGC), a lexical analyzer generator, a full
- foreign function interface, and a pattern matching compiler. Bigloo
- can also compile modules written in Caml (an ML dialect), letting you
- mix Scheme, ML, and C. Object-oriented programming is provided by
- Meroon v3. The main goal of Bigloo is to deliver small and fast stand
- alone applications. Bigloo produces ANSI C and hence should be easy
- to port. It runs on Sparc (1, 2, 10), SONY-NEWS (MIPS R3000), IRIS
- Indigo (MIPS R3000), Sun 3/60, DecStation 3100, PC-486 (linux), and
- HP-PA (730). It is available by anonymous ftp from
- ftp.inria.fr:/INRIA/Projects/icsla/Implementations/ [192.93.2.54]
- as the files bigloo1.7.tar.gz and camloo0.2.tar.gz.
- For further information, send email to Manuel.Serrano@inria.fr, or
- write to Manuel Serrano (equipe ICSLA, Bat 8), INRIA-Rocquencourt,
- BP 105, 78153, Le Chesnay CEDEX, FRANCE, or call 39-63-57-32.
-
- Elk (Extension Language Kit) has been designed specifically as an
- embeddable, reusable extension language subsystem for applications written
- in C or C++. Elk is also useful as a stand-alone Scheme implementation,
- in particular as a platform for rapid prototyping of X11-based Scheme
- programs. Elk was first published in 1989; the current version is Elk 3.0.
- The Elk distribution includes a Scheme interpreter (embeddable and
- stand-alone versions), several dynamically loadable extensions, run-time
- support (including a top-level implemented in Scheme and a debugger),
- and 230+ pages of documentation (troff and PostScript format).
- Major features of Elk are incremental, dynamic loading of compiled
- extensions (supported on many platforms); freezing of the interpreter or
- application into a new executable file; a C/C++ programmer's interface
- for language interoperability; Scheme bindings for X11 Xlib, Xt, Athena
- and Motif Widgets; a UNIX interface (not restricted to POSIX); bitstrings,
- records, and regular expressions; a stop-and-copy and an incremental,
- generational garbage collector.
- The Elk 3.0 distribution and more information about Elk are available
- in the World Wide Web at
- http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~net/elk
- The distribution is also available on a number of FTP sites including
- ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/devel_tools/elk-3.0.tar.gz
- ftp://ftp.uni-bremen.de/pub/programming/languages/scheme/elk/elk-3.0.tar.gz
- For more information contact Oliver Laumann <net@cs.tu-berlin.de>.
-
- FDU Scheme is a R3RS implementation of Scheme for the Prime
- 50-series under Primos. It is available by anonymous ftp from
- fdumad.fdu.edu [132.238.1.1] (username "anonymous", password
- <RETURN>). Attach to the Scheme subdirectory (cd '*>scheme') and
- transfer all files in it and its subdirectories using file type
- binary. For more information, contact Peter Falley,
- <falley@fdumad.fdu.edu>.
-
- Fools' Lisp is a small Scheme interpreter that is R4RS conformant, and
- is available by anonymous ftp from
- scam.berkeley.edu:/pub/src/local/fools.1.3.2.tar.Z [128.32.138.1]
- Fools' Lisp runs on Sun3 and Sun4 (SunOs), DecStation 3100s, Vax
- (Ultrix), Sequent, and Apollo. Implemented by Jonathan Lee
- <jonathan@scam.berkeley.edu>.
-
- Gambit is a high-performance implementation of Scheme based on an
- optimizing compiler. It conforms to the IEEE-Scheme standard (IEEE
- P1178) and the Revised^4 Report on Scheme (R4RS) and supports the
- whole numeric tower (i.e. integer, rational, real and complex numbers).
- Gambit extends the standards by providing: weak pairs, wills, string
- ports, records, property lists, namespaces, futures, pretty printer,
- debugger, multitasking, and compiler declarations. To make it portable
- and simplify bootstrapping, the compiler is written in IEEE-Scheme and
- makes use of a high-level abstract-machine (called GVM) for the
- intermediate representation. A "Scheme-in-Scheme" approach was adopted
- to minimize the amount of non-portable code in the system (nearly all of
- the runtime library is written in Scheme including the interpreter and
- debugger). Three different variants of Gambit were produced:
-
- Gambit-68K (first public release in 1990; last version: 2.0, june 1993):
- This is the original Gambit system with a native code back-end
- for Motorola 680x0. It works on most 68K based Unix workstations
- and on the BBN GP1000 shared-memory multiprocessor. The back-end
- for the GP1000 implements Multilisp's "future" parallel construct
- using lazy-task-creation (a very low overhead task spawning
- mechanism).
- ftp.iro.umontreal.ca:/pub/parallele/gambit/gamb68k.tar.Z
-
- MacGambit (first public release in 1991; last version: 2.2.2, oct 1995):
- This is a port of Gambit-68K for the Macintosh. It is a complete
- development environment, including a Scheme-aware editor, an online
- help system, and a linker to build standalone applications. A
- drawing window for simple graphics and an interface to many of the
- Macintosh's "Toolbox" routines are available. An executable
- MacGambit application is supplied with the distribution as well as
- all the sources (ThinkC 4.0 or CodeWarrior 6 or higher are needed to
- recompile the sources).
- ftp.iro.umontreal.ca:/pub/parallele/gambit/MacGambit.sea.hqx
-
- Gambit-C (first public release in 1994; last version: 2.3.1, april 1996):
- In this variant of Gambit, the compiler generates highly portable
- C code that is reasonably efficient. The primary goals of Gambit-C
- are portability and correctness (in particular it correctly implements
- tail-recursion across modules and uses a precise garbage-collector).
- Gambit-C runs on a wide range of Unix workstations, on Macintosh, and
- DOS/Windows. It also supports these features: dynamic-loading
- of compiled files, C-interface (FFI), and a memory management system
- that expands and contracts the heap based on the program's needs.
- Standalone executables can be created with Gambit-C (a minimal
- application is about 700 Kbytes when statically linked and 5 Kbytes
- when the runtime system is compiled as a shared-library).
- Sources:
- ftp.iro.umontreal.ca:/pub/parallele/gambit/gambc.tar.gz
- Executables for Windows-95 and Windows-NT:
- ftp.iro.umontreal.ca:/pub/parallele/gambit/gambc.zip
- Executables for DOS and Windows 3.1:
- ftp.iro.umontreal.ca:/pub/parallele/gambit/gambcdos.zip
-
- Gambit can be used freely for non-commercial uses (including academic
- research and education). A license is required to use Gambit
- commercially (contact gambit@iro.umontreal.ca).
-
- HELP (a lazy Scheme) is available by anonymous ftp from
- sumex-aim.stanford.edu:/info-mac/lang/lazy-scheme.hqx. Written by
- Thomas Schiex (schiex@cert.fr, schiex@irit.fr). Help is a complete and
- efficient Scheme-like functional lazy Lisp interpreter. It works only
- on 68020 (or more) based Macintoshes. It has a 'friendly' interface
- (parenthesis matcher, auto-indent), uses a full call-by-need semantics
- and includes many examples, including a symbolic compiler for the
- 680x0. Efficiency is good and lazyness is fully parametrizable (you
- may turn Help into a strict Scheme-like language if you like). French
- AND English updated docs are included in Word4 and plain text formats.
-
- LIBSCHEME is a C library implementing Scheme as described in R4RS. It
- is easily integrated into a C program as a command interpreter or
- extension language, and is easily extended in C with new primitive
- types, primitve functions and syntax. It should be portable to most
- machines with an ANSI C compiler. It is available by anonymous ftp
- from
- ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/scheme-repository/imp/
- For more information, write to Brent Benson
- <bwb@concentra.com>.
-
- MIT Scheme (aka C-Scheme), is available free by anonymous FTP from
- swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu:/archive/scheme-7.3 [18.23.0.16]
- or
- ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pubscheme-repository/imp/MIT-Scheme-7.3/doc
- Version 7.3 is a beta version and runs on DEC Alpha, DECStation
- (MIPS), HP 9000 300/400/700, IBM RS-6000, Intel i386/i486 (DOS, NT,
- Windows 3.1, or Linux), NeXT (NeXTOS 2 or 3), SGI (MIPS), Sony NEWS
- (MIPS), Sun3 (SunOS 4.1) and Sun4 (SunOS 4.1). Bugs should be
- reported to bug-cscheme@martigny.ai.mit.edu (for the DOS version, send
- bug reports to bug-cscheme-dos@martigny.ai.mit.edu). MIT Scheme
- includes Edwin (Scheme's Emacs-like editor) and Liar (the Scheme
- compiler). Does not have a convenient foreign function interface yet.
- FTP distribution includes MIT C-Scheme Reference and User manuals, as
- well as the Revised^4 Report on Scheme. Discussion occurs on the
- newsgroup comp.lang.scheme.c (gatewayed to the mailing list
- info-cscheme@zurich.ai.mit.edu). For DOS floppy distribution requests
- (includes printed copies of manuals), send $95.00 (payable in U.S.
- funds to "Scheme Distribution") to cover costs of distribution to
- Scheme Distribution, c/o Prof. Hal Abelson, 545 Technology Sq. rm 410,

- On the NeXT, MIT Scheme is available as part of the Schematik
- package, which provides an editor/front-end user interface,
- graphics, and "robotics" support for Lego and the like. Schematik is
- free and is available for anonymous ftp from
- ftp.gac.edu:/pub/next/scheme/
- Europeans can get it more locally from
- ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de:/pub/next/ProgLang/
- start with Schematik-1.1.5.1.README . Schematik is also apparently
- included on NeXT's "Educational Software Sampler" CD-ROM.

- A preliminary unofficial port of C-Scheme to the Linux is available
- from artemide.dei.unipd.it:/linux/scheme-7.2/. Contact the author
- Matteo Frigo <Matteo.Frigo@dei.unipd.it> for more information.
-
- MzScheme is a Scheme implementation for Unix, Windows (Win32), and
- MacOS. In addition to supporting standard R4RS Scheme (including the
- full numerical tower), MzScheme provides pre-emptive threads,
- generative record datatypes, an exception system (integrated with all
- primitive errors), classes and objects, first-class compilation units,
- regular expression parsing, and simple TCP support on all platforms.
- MzScheme can dynamically load extensions implemented in C, and it
- can be embedded into any C/C++ application. Interoperability with C is
- facilitated by the use of a conservative garbage collector.
- MzScheme is the core interpreter for MrEd, an engine for developing
- portable GUI applications for X Windows, Windows, and MacOS. DrScheme
- (currently under development, using MzScheme/MrEd) will incorporate
- project management, debugging, and modular analysis to provide a
- complete Scheme development environment for pedagogical and
- professional use.
- For information and online documentation for MzScheme, MrEd, and
- DrScheme, see
- http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/packages/drscheme/

- Oaklisp is an seamless integration of Scheme with an object-oriented
- substrate. Available by anonymous ftp from
- f.gp.cs.cmu.edu:/usr/bap/oak/ftpable/ [128.2.250.164]
- or from
- ftp.cs.cmu.edu:/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/bap/oak/ftpable/
- and includes reference and implementation manuals. Written by Barak
- Pearlmutter <bap@cse.ogi.edu> and Kevin Lang <kevin@research.nj.nec.com>.
-
- PC-Scheme (aka PCScheme, PC Scheme) is an implementation of Scheme
- originally written by Texas Instruments. TI made a version of the
- source code freely distributable in 1987. TI stopped supporting
- the code, and some researchers at the University of Geneva produced
- a cleaned-up version (see PCS/Geneva below). On July 13, 1992, Ibuki
- announced that it had purchased the rights to PC Scheme from TI.
- Please see the Ibuki PC Scheme entry in [2-2]. If you want a
- high-quality and supported implementation of PC Scheme, buy the
- Ibuki implementation. It is certainly inexpensive enough. Now TI
- PC-Scheme is available by anonymous ftp from
- swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu:/archive/pc-scheme/
- and runs on MS-DOS 286/386 IBM PCs and compatibles. Version 3.3
- should run on the 486, but no guarantees. Version 3.3 is the last
- free version. TI PC-Scheme conforms to the Revised^3 Report on Scheme.
- It includes an optimizing compiler, an emacs-like editor, inspector,
- debugger, performance testing, foreign function interface, window
- system and an object-oriented subsystem. It also supports the dialect
- used in Abelson and Sussman's SICP.
-
- PCS/Geneva is a cleaned-up version of Texas Instrument's PC Scheme
- developed at the University of Geneva. The main extensions to PC
- Scheme are 486 support, BGI graphics, LIM-EMS pagination support, line
- editing, mouse support, assembly-level interfacing, and several
- powerful Scheme-oriented editors. (TI's PC Scheme gives users full
- Revised^3 support along with many primitives for DOS, Graphics and
- Text Windows. A powerful built-in optimizing compiler produces fast
- code.) PCS/Geneva 4.02PL1 has been tested on XTs, ATs, AT386s and
- AT486s under various DOS and OS/2 versions. It even runs on
- Hewlett-Packard's HP95LX. It also runs on Suns with a DOS emulator.
- PCS/Geneva is available free by anonymous ftp from
- cui.unige.ch:/PUBLIC/pcs/ [129.194.70.1]
- as the files pcscheme.doc, pcscheme.exe, pcscheme.fil and pcscheme.taz
- or by email (uuencoded) from schemege@cui.unige.ch. If you ftp
- PCS/Geneva, please send mail to schemege@cui.unige.ch; the authors
- like to know their public and will inform you when a new release is
- available. This is also the email address for bug reports or if you
- need any kind of help. This product may be distributed freely and
- used without restrictions except for military purposes.
- (PCS/Geneva was developed by Larry Bartholdi <lbartho@cui.unige.ch>
- and Marc Vuilleumier <mvuilleu@cui.unige.ch>.)

-
- Scheme->C is an R4RS compliant Scheme system that is centered around
- a compiler that compiles Scheme to C. Besides the base language,
- the system includes "expansion passing style" macros, a foreign function
- call capability, records, weak pointers, 3 X11 interfaces, call/cc, and a
- generational, conservative, copying garbage collector. The result is a
- system that is portable, efficient, and able to build applications that
- contain a mix of compiled and interpreted Scheme, and compiled code
- from C, C++ and other languages. The current release of Scheme->C runs
- on the following systems: Digital Alpha AXP systems with OSF/1, MIPS
- based DECstations, VAXen with ULTRIX, MIPS based SGI systems, PC's
- running Microsoft Windows 3.1, Apple Macintosh's running system 7.1,
- HP 9000/300, HP 9000/700, Sony News, Harris Nighthawk and other m88k
- systems, linux, Sun SPARC, and NT (Visual C++ compiler). Earlier
- releases also run on Sun3, DNx500, DN1000, 386's running Unix,
- DNx500, and DN1000 systems. The software is available for
- anonymous ftp from
- gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/DEC/Scheme-to-C/ [16.1.0.2]
- There are three interfaces to X11, all written in Scheme, available
- from gatekeeper. The first is a complete set of stubs to Xlib included
- in the base system. The second is an alternative to Xlib called SCIX,
- found in
- gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/X11/contrib/
- The third, ezd, allows programs to easily
- produce interactive, structured graphics and is found in
- gatekeeper.dec.com:/pub/DEC/ezd/
- Those without ftp access can also obtain Scheme->C and ezd from the
- Prime Time Freeware CD, Vol. 1, No. 2. Additional information is
- available from the author at Digital Equipment Corporation's Western
- Research Lab: Joel Bartlett, bartlett@decwrl.dec.com.
-
- Scheme 48 is a Scheme implementation based on a virtual machine
- architecture. Scheme 48 is designed to be straightforward, flexible,
- reliable, and fast. It should be easily portable to 32-bit
- byte-addressed machines that have POSIX and ANSI C support.
- In addition to the usual Scheme built-in procedures and a development
- environment, library software includes support for hygienic macros (as
- described in the Revised^4 Scheme report), multitasking, records,
- exception handling, hash tables, arrays, weak pointers, and FORMAT.
- Scheme 48 implements and exploits an experimental module system
- loosely derived from Standard ML and Scheme Xerox. The development
- environment supports interactive changes to modules and interfaces.
- A beta release of Scheme 48 is available by anonymous ftp from
- ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/scheme-repository/imp/scheme48-0.36.tar.Z
- swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu:/archive/s48/scheme48-0.36.tar.gz
- ftp.cs.cmu.edu:/user/ai/lang/scheme/impl/s48/scheme48.tar.gz

-
- Scsh is a Unix shell/systems programming environment implemented on top of
- Scheme 48 (a portable, byte-code compiled R4RS Scheme implementation). Scsh
- provides
-
- - A high-level macro notation for writing typical shell-script
- computations: running programs, pipelines, I/O redirection, and so
- forth. For example, to decompress a file and mail it to someone,
- you might say
- (run (| (gzcat home.html.gz)
- (mail -h "Here's my home page" shivers@lcs.mit.edu)))
-
- To spell check your paper, printing out the results, you could say:
- (run (| (delatex (< paper.tex))
- (spell)
- (lpr -Ppulp)))
-
- - A complete system-call interface to Unix: fork, exec, I/O, file
- system, time, env vars, and so forth. The I/O interface includes
- a *complete* interface to BSD sockets, both Unix and TCP/IP domains.
- I/O is completely integrated with Scheme ports. System calls return
- useful values, not error codes; errors are reported by raising
- exceptions which can be caught by handlers.
-
- - Other useful shell-programming utilities: filename globbing/pattern
- matching, regexp matching, macros for writing AWK-like programs, field
- and record parsers, and so forth.
-
- - The ability to write executable shell scripts using the Unix #!
- interpreter feature, with access to command-line argv values.
-
- These features are completely integrated into Scheme 48's R4RS Scheme
- implementation; the programming language is Scheme. The scsh release
- is self-contained -- it comes with its own complete Scheme 48
- implementation. Scsh currently runs on the following platforms: DEC Ultrix,
- Harris NightHawk, HP-UX, IBM AIX, Linux, NetBSD/i386, NeXTSTEP/Intel,
- SGI IRIX, Solaris, and SunOS. It's not hard to port scsh to new systems.

- You can get a copy of scsh via anonymous ftp, from the following:
- ftp://clark.lcs.mit.edu/pub/su/scsh/scsh.tar.gz
- ftp://swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu/pub/su/scsh/scsh.tar.gz
- These tar files include a detailed manual and a paper describing
- the design of the system. For the lazily curious, we also have the
- manual separately available as
- ftp://clark.lcs.mit.edu/pub/su/scsh/scsh-manual.ps
- ftp://swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu/pub/su/scsh/scsh-manual.ps

- to SCM. It is available from swiss-ftp, prep and indiana as the file
- sgm-scm2a1.zip. (A VMS version of Unzip is available by anonymous
- FTP from ftp.spc.edu:[ANONYMOUS.MACRO32]UNZIP.EXE.) This file
- contains the source code, documentation, and example code. Send
- comments and bugs to T. Kurt Bond, <tkb@mtnet2.wvnet.edu> (preferred)
- or <Kurt.Bond@launchpad.unc.edu>.
- WB is a disk based, sorted associative array C library (database). These
- associative arrays consist of variable length (less that 256 bytes)
- keys and values. WB comes with an interface to SCM. Basic
- operations are creation, destruction, opening and closing of
- diskfiles and arrays, insertion, deletion, retrieval, successor, and
- predecessor (with respect to dictionary order of keys). Functional
- application of find-next, deletion, and modification over a range of
- consecutive key values is supported. Multiple associative arrays
- can be stored in one disk file. Simultaneous access to multiple
- disk files is supported. A structure checker, garbage collector
- are included. A repair program and ram-disk type file (for
- temporary structures) are in developement. The current WB
- implementation has a file size limit of 2^32 * block size (default
- 2048) = 2^43 bytes (8796 Gbytes). WB does its own memory and disk
- management. WB is available on swiss-ftp, prep, and indiana as wb1a1.tar.z.

- A Windows version of Scheme called WinScm is forthcoming from
- Vincent Manis of Langara College of BC, Canada.
-
- Hobbit is a Scheme-to-C compiler that works with the SCM Scheme
- interpreter. It treats SCM as a C library and integrates compiled
- functions into SCM as new primitives. Hobbit release 2 works with SCM
- release 4b4. Future releases of SCM and Hobbit will be coordinated.
- Hobbit imposes strong restrictions on the higher-order features of
- Scheme. For example, it does not support continuations. The main aim
- of hobbit is to produce maximally fast C programs which would retain
- most of the original Scheme program structure, making the output C
- program readable and modifiable. Hobbit is written in Scheme and is
- able to self-compile. Hobbit can be obtained via anonymous ftp from
- swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu:/archive/scm/hobbit2.tar.Z

- (1995--346pp.--Paper--ISBN 0-9628745-2-3)
- The Schemer's Guide presents the elements of modern computer programming
- in an easy-to-follow and entertaining manner. The book introduces
- students to the Scheme programming language, guiding them through such
- concepts as functional programming, recursion, data structures, higher
- order functions, delayed evaluation, and object-oriented programming.
- The Schemer's Guide concludes with a significant game-playing project
- involving artificial intelligence. The book strikes a good balance
- between theory and practice, while nurturing good programming
- practices. The Schemer's Guide has a proven track record of several
- years use in teaching the art of Scheme programming to high school
- students and college undergraduates. A comprehensive teacher's guide
- and an additional set of resource materials including worksheets,
- quizzes, projects, and exams are available to instructors using this
- text. The retail price of the book is $35.95. (A Spanish
- translation of "The Schemer's Guide" is available.)
-
- + "The Schemer's Guide to C++" by Iain Ferguson
- (1996--92 pp.--Paper--ISBN 1-888579-11-0)
- The Schemer's Guide to C++ builds on the solid theoretical foundation
- provided by an increasing number of courses--such as those based on
- the introductory textbook, The Schemer's Guide--that introduce the
- principles of modern computer science via the Scheme language. From
- this basis it provides students with a fundamental, pratical working
- knowledge of the programming language C++. The author uses his
- experience as a full-time, commercial programming professional to lead
- students step by step from the elegant principles of high level
- programming with which they are already familiar to the nitty-gritty
- of C++, but without ever losing sight of the computer science
- fundamentals that underlie good programming practice. As in "The
- Schemer's Guide", students quickly learn to write complete,
- non-trivial programs, including the design and implementation of a
- modern container class library. This unashamedly practical course is
- perfect for students and teachers who seek a clear, direct, fast-track
- path to learning C++. The retail price of the book is $17.95.
-
