Archi Notes on Siod v2.09
I really had very little to do in getting this to work
on the arc due to the original author's neat code and
the easily bent frontend written by Robin Watts. (see !Help for
a description of this and the terms associated with it, likewise the
docs for Siod)
Things that you may need to fiddle -
Occasionally the interpreter runs out of cons cells, in this
case what you should do is peer in the Basic !RunImage file for
the line that has <Siod$Dir>.!Siod209 in it and change the number
following the -h flag.
Loading and saving works on the csd - so if you want all your scheme
to live inside the Scm directory in the application then
(load "<Scm$dir>.filename")
works fine, or just set Scm$dir to point elsewhere in the !Run file.
Q. Why bother having another strange language on the arc?
A. Because its small, elegant and has only the basics of a scheme
which means you can spend more time writing the functions that you want
it to have and learning the basics of the language without having to
wade through pages and pages of OO capabilities documentation 8-).
I've included a few small bits of code that I had written to provide some
of the noticeably missing parts...
Peer in !Siod.other_scm for them..
Have fun and enjoy your list hacking..

PS - the number of cells by default only takes up 240000 bytes if you use
the basic add in library - if you load in larger things it starts to
expand rather faster - hence the large wimpslot - depending on what you
use it for you can twiddle this.
PPS - if you are lookng for scheme to play with a good place to start is
by ftp'ing to nexus.yorku.ca which has heaps of stuff.
