Scheme is a computer programming language. It works well for a wide spectrum of tasks. JACAL is an interactive symbolic mathematics program written in portable Scheme (including the SLIB Scheme Library). Read about other interesting uses in Engineering with SCM.

A scheme program, rrrs2txi.scm, translated the LaTeX r3rs, r4rs, and r5rs to texinfo format (r3rs.txi, r4rs.txi, and r5rs.txi), from which the online HTML versions were derived. Dai Inukai, who translated the Report into Japanese, has created the Scheme program JFILTER which converts text among the JIS, EUC, and Shift-JIS Japanese character sets.

*R6RS is incompatible with R3RS, R4RS, and R5RS. Programs conforming to R3RS, R4RS, or R5RS will not run unmodified in a R6RS implementation. This website has no plans to support R6RS.  [about the logos]

LaTeX has changed with time; it no longer works from R3RS and R4RS source. For that reason, this page doesn't have links to r3rs.pdf, r3rs.ps, and r3rs.dvi. They could be produced by an old installation of LaTeX, or by modification of r3rs.tar.
