For information on installation, read the file INSTALL in the
distribution for your machine.


		Description of the distribution files

MIT Scheme is being distributed as a set of compressed tar files.
Choose the files that are appropriate for your site.

For the moment, the distribution is only available for the machines
and operating systems listed below.  The interpreter will soon be
available in a form suitable for installation on any Unix-based
machine.  The compiler is currently ported to three architectures:
MC68020, HP Precision Architecture, and MIPS.  If your machine uses
one of these architectures, but is not listed below, AND you are
willing to do the work required to bring it up (a few hours), contact
us at the mailing address below.  A port to the Vax will be completed
soon.

Note that this distribution is not yet available on magnetic tape from
MIT.  When the beta-test period is over, hopefully in one or two
months, you can buy magnetic tapes from us for a small fee.
