With what version of scheme48 does it work?
It will run in Scheme48 1.3. It could be modified to run in slightly earlier versions, but there would need to be somewhat more major changes for it to run in 0.57 or earlier.
Do you think it will work with scsh (the SCheme SHell)? It is Scheme48-based.
No. Scsh is based on a very old version of Scheme48 -- 0.53, which is about four or five years old --, and many system internals have changed since then, most notably in the multithreading libraries. SLIME48 could probably be modified to run in scsh, but it won't do so out of the box. An endeavour to make scsh run in Scheme48 1.3 would be much more worthwhile, though considerably more difficult; I hear that there has been some work on that at Tuebingen, where most Scheme48 development is happening these days, but I don't know many details of this effort. (Much of the work would involve restructuring scsh to probe less deeply into Scheme48's internals and modularizing it much more cleanly.)
