Synopsis

PC Scheme can serve as the basis for a stand-alone course in LISP or as an accompaniment to an artificial intelligence course. At MIT and elsewhere it has also been used as the computer language for the introductory course in computer science. Designed from the start to fit an academic environment, PC Scheme has gained increasing use in research for its elegance and power. It is both a good teaching language and a serious tool for producing applications and systems software.System requirements: IBM PC, PC/XT, or AT as well as IBM personal system/2, TI's Professional, Portable Professional, or Business-Pro computers. 512K minimum memory. Some examples in the User's Guide require additional graphics hardware such as a color graphics adaptor.Includes diskette for IBM or TI systems

About this title

Review

" Texas Instruments has succeeded in an endeavor that most LISP vendors have not even tried. The PC Scheme environment is a complete LISP system that runs a standard dialect on the base PC hardware. Space limitations were considered during every phase of TI Scheme design and PC Scheme construction, resulting in a tool that is not a toy, not a compromise, but a complete LISP implementation for the professional programmer." -- Dan Beale, "PC Tech Journal" & quot; Texas Instruments has succeeded in an endeavor that most LISP vendors have not even tried.
