- Yes, you can get decent LISPs for the Amiga. Gambit was just sent to
- Fred Fish. It's an R4RS shareware interpreter/68000-compiler. There's
- OakLISP, which includes an R3RS Scheme environment, as well as the OO
- OakLISP system. It has a byte-code compiler. I use Scheme->C, which is
- an R3RS scheme that makes compiling standalone executable trivial. You
- can't do that with OakLISP; you might be able to do it with Gambit.

- That all of these also run on Unix boxes is a nice advantage.
