Mark Watson [on distributing MIT Scheme with an applications
book]:

   I have been thinking of doing another applications book, but based on
   MIT Scheme.  If it is permitted, it would be ideal to be able to 
   include a couple of disk with the new book containing both the source
   to the example programs, AND, the MIT Scheme runtime files.  Just about
   everyone has access to a Windows machine (yuk), so this would be most
   convenient for my readers.

why not include Scheme 48 instead? your readers would get a good
scheme in well-written [hi jar] scheme, and would be able to comprehend
it as well. an application book that contains a good application is
a winner.
