C/C++ programs. I'm aware of Elk. I think there was a post describing
other such implementations, but forgot to save it.
Thanks in advance. (I don't think this is in the FAQ).

Scheme->C is Scheme system that can be embedded in C or C++ programs.
It's available via ftp from the directory pub/DEC/Scheme-to-C on
gatekeeper.dec.com.

Hi: I just tried posting this, but it looks like my newsreader
(XRn+nntp+inews combination) insists on chewing this up.
So here it is again::

There was a paper a few years back on how somebody took an early version
of SIOD, (1.3 perhaps) and converted it to be a natural/native C++
program.
That is to say, in SIOD.H there is a struct typedef that defines what
a LISP object means. And there are various "switch" statements
in EVAL, PRINT, GC.
Now, SIOD 2.7 and 2.8, which resides in world.std.com in the obvious
anonymous FTP locations, has a bit more than "switch" statements.
It actually graduated to using a method-array for EVAL, PRINT, GC, FASPRINT,
EQUAL, SXHASH. etc.
If you find no C++ program that is suitable, your best bet may be to
do the conversion of SIOD yourself, into a suitable C++ formulation.
The entire interpreter, read/eval/print, fasload/fasdump, and array support,
is less than 2500 lines of code, total. I doubt you will find anything
smaller.
