I do not have any practical experience with functional programming languages,
but I gradually have become more interested in them. From some pretty general
books on programming languages and constructs as well as from bits and pieces
in this news group I have the impression that SCHEME is the language that
I would like to experiment with. However, though SCHEME is regularly mentioned
I have not come across an implementation yet.
Can anyone help me out :
- Does anyone know whether SCHEME is available for personal computers
running MS-DOS ?
- If not, is SCHEME available for VAX-VMS ?
Thanks in advance,
Huub Stoffers

The state of the art Scheme on MS-DOS based computers is
Texas Instruments PC Scheme
According to AI Expert Magazine "The package is very professional;
the documentation is excellent." ... "The debugger and inspector are
impressive". Though I am not a professional I like using it, too.
The only alternative on MS-DOS based computers I know is
X-Scheme by David Betz
It's very much like X-Lisp. But I don't know, if it is further
supportet by David Betz or if it died sometime ago.
If anybody knows about any other Scheme implementation on
80x86 PCs, please let me (or us) know!
