Does anyone out there know anything about the language SCHEME? I am told that
it is "like LISP". Also, where does one get a SCHEME interpreter/compiler?
Is there anyone interested in starting a USENET format on SCHEME if one does
not already exist?

Scheme is Lisp done right.
The December 1986 issue of SigPlan Notices contains the Revised^3 Report
on the Algorithmic Language Scheme. A somewhat older dialect of Scheme
is described in the excellent book "Structure and Interpretation
of Computer Programs" by Abelson and Sussman (MIT, 1985).

You can get the whole "Revised**3 report on the Algorithmic
Language Scheme" by sending a check for US$6.00 to

I have it. It's about 1/4 inch thick. The Scheme definition is 43 pages
long, with lots of examples. They also throw in a Sussman article concerning
using Scheme for teaching.

Chez Scheme is used here at I.U. on VAXes -- you could contact Kent Dybvig,
···@iuvax (or something like that). I don't use it, so I don't know much
about its or others' availability.
Texas Instruments has TI Scheme for MS-DOS machines. I do use that, and I like
it. I don't think it's 100% R^3 compatible, but it's close.
