Hmm, two spring to mind - you can get EuLisp which I suspect has all
but the database bit...
GNU Scheme can be made to do the latter two - the database bit you
would find in SLIB, the PVM bits I wrote an extension for a project last year
that I could dig out - provides roughly 70% of the PVM 3 calls as
Scheme which in turn relies on a lower level more or less straight
translation of the PVM C calls.
Worked for me when I last used it, but didn't look at doing things that
involved chucking structures about terribly...

give me a shout if this is of use,

cheers,
