I am trying to s-l-o-w-l-y plow my way through the book:
Essentials of Programming Languages
It is a Scheme book, but my language-of-choice is CL.
I tried to seek advice in the Scheme forum, but everyone was
busy there handling more important stuff.
My problem is, I do not know Scheme well enough to convert
all the hundreds of lines of example code in the book to CL,
yet my gut feeling is that the book has a great deal to offer
a CL guy, even though it is written in the Scheme dialect.
Is anyone aware of a version of Scheme <for the Mac> that
has "extend-syntax" in it?
I already have MacGambit Scheme, but it has no macro
ability at all. Even the built-in "macro" word that some
Scheme's have would not do me much good, because it
would entail a complete re-write of all the book code,
because it is substantially different than "extend-syntax".
Gadd, I miss the standardized macro facilities that CL has,
whenever I have to use Scheme.

Thanks everyone for the email responses to my request for
a Scheme for the Mac that has "extend-syntax" in it.
I will beat the bushes looking for supporting Lisp code
for the book: Essential of Programming Languages
My language is CL, so I might have trouble. Don't even
know how to compile a Scheme by using a C compiler.
Egad, am I stupid. Took years to get that way. :-)
