Not quite. Scheme is a programming language based on LISP. There is a standard, etc. See http://swiss.csail.mit.edu/projects/scheme/ The "scripting language for GNU" you're probably thinking of is Guile, which is actually something more subtle than just a scripting language: in fact it's a portable, embeddable extension library. The idea is that if your application wants to provide a scriptable interface, or a plugin capability, then rather than invent your own new language you can easily link the Guile library and get a fully-functional extension language. Guile is also based loosely on LISP. See http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
