 what is a good, small, free (shareware) Lisp/Scheme
 interpreter for the PC (DOS)?

 i just want to play with some 5-line toy programs.

 i looked at both Lisp/Scheme FAQ files.
 but i can't tell which one would be good.

 thanks for any suggestions.

Look up MiniScheme at
ftp://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/scheme-repository/imp/minischeme.tar.gz
It's as small as it gets (archive 19kb). It's pretty minimal,
though. If you want more of R5RS Scheme download its offspring,
TinyScheme (see my homepage - archive 27kb). SIOD is also small,
although not that small (see scheme-repository for that -
archive 151kb, I have also downloaded from some other place another
SIOD archive ~200kb).
You'll have to do the build yourself, no binaries are available
for any free Scheme.

What about SCMLIT.EXE ?

Oops! I missed that! But what does
"Note: SCMLIT still requires slib2c2 and scm5c2 above."
mean? My guess is that you'll have to build scm5c2 on
your own anyway...

scmlit.exe only needs to load some *.scm files from the mentioned
distributions. There is no need to compile anything.

Telford Tendys recently diluted guile so that it starts on dos/djgpp pretty
fast. He took out all unix-related stuff.
