Programs written +for Chez Scheme run unchanged in Petite Chez Scheme, as long as they do +not depend specifically on the compiler. In fact, Petite Chez Scheme is +built from the same sources as Chez Scheme, with all but the compiler +sources included. + +Petite Chez Scheme was conceived as a freely distributable run-time +environment for compiled Chez Scheme applications. To serve this purpose, +it needed to have a complete run-time environment, including, for many +applications, a working evaluator. The result is a system that is useful +not only to our customers for the applications they distribute, but also +to people who want to use a top-quality Scheme system and can't justify +purchasing Chez Scheme. + +WWW: http://www.scheme.com/petitechezscheme.html |
