  1. Scm conforms to Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme
  2. and the IEEE P1178 specification. Scm is written in C and runs under
  3. Amiga, Atari-ST, MacOS, MS-DOS, OS/2, NOS/VE, Unicos, VMS, Unix and
  4. similar systems. ASCII and EBCDIC are supported.
  5. Documentation is included explaining the many Scheme Language
  6. extensions in scm, the internal representation and how to extend or
  7. include scm in other programs.
  8. SLIB is a portable Scheme library which SCM uses.
  9. -- OpenBSD issues
  10. 1. Pathname dependencies:
  11. The init file is hardcoded as ${PREFIX}/share/scm/Init.scm.
  12. Alternatively, one can set the environment variable SCM_INIT_PATH to
  13. the pathname of Init.scm.
  14. The library files are in ${PREFIX}/share/scm/slib. Alternatively,
  15. one can set the environment variable SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH to
  16. the slib directory. Remember to use a trailing / on the
  17. pathname.
  18. 2. Documentation:
  19. People not familiar with scheme may wish to install scheme-report
  20. as well.
  21. 3. Sicp compliance:
  22. Two interpreters, scm and scm-sicp, are compiled by default.
  23. scm conforms to R^5, scm-sicp to SCIP. If you don't know what I'm
  24. talking about, use scm.
