Scm is written in C and runs under +Amiga, Atari-ST, MacOS, MS-DOS, OS/2, NOS/VE, Unicos, VMS, Unix and +similar systems. ASCII and EBCDIC are supported. + +Documentation is included explaining the many Scheme Language +extensions in scm, the internal representation and how to extend or +include scm in other programs. + +SLIB is a portable Scheme library which SCM uses. + +SLIB-PSD is a portable debugger for Scheme (requires emacs editor). + +-------------------Readme.FreeBSD------------------------ + +1. Pathname dependencies: + The init file is hardcoded as /usr/local/lib/scm/Init.scm. + Alternatively, one can set the environment variable SCM_INIT_PATH to + the pathname of Init.scm. + + The library files are in /usr/local/lib/slib. Alternatively, + one can set the environment variable SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH to + the slib directory. Remember to use a trailing / on the + pathname. + +2. I have -DSICP turn on by default, since I expect this to be the major +reason for this port.
