I'm curious to know the size of the bootloader forth footprint. The loader is about 150k, so I'm sure you could probably fit a nice Scheme interpreter in under that size... ?? > Tinyscheme is a mostly complete R5RS Scheme (R5RS is the You can also conditionally-compile the components to make a smaller footprint. I'm highly in favor of Scheme replacing 4th... It's a very easy language to learn (only 11 special forms) yet still powerful (you can't pass code as data in BASIC ;). If you replace the boot loader interpreter, pick Scheme over LISP. There are lots of implementations: siod, scm, mit-scheme, MzScheme, and tinyscheme are among the better ones. --Rick C.
