I bought an AlphaServer 2100 a few months ago with the intention of
eventually buying OpenGenera. (To run on DEC Unix/Tru64 of course.) I
have managed to save up about
1/5th of the cost Dave Schmidt quoted me, but it will probably be six
months or more before I have the rest. In the mean time, I thought I
might play around with OpenVMS, the media kit for which I obtained
with the machine.
There seems to be at least one Scheme interpreter which will run under
VMS on an Alpha, that being SCM 4e1. I will see if it builds within
the next few days. I am very interested in finding a Lisp, even a
pre-Common or lightweight one, which might work as well. Any
ideas/leads/pointers/rumor/hearsay/innuendo? Yes, I know Google is my
friend, but the signal to noise ratio was disturbingly low.
Thanks,
