Hi all -

I have a fairly large Lisp program I would like to translate to Scheme -
want to run the old (Franz/Common) Lisp under the mature MacGambit system
on the Mac. I've used XLisp for the Mac, and it is well done, but lacks a
compiler - not yet committed enough to buy Mac Common Lisp.

I'm unfamiliar with Scheme - it has been described as a "dialect of Lisp".
Assuming that that is true enough for the moment, how easy/difficult is it
to translate? Is there a translation program available (written in
Scheme?) that can take me most of the way?

...any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Steve
