I can hardly believe this!  MacScheme ran well on a Mac with only 512k. What 
does a Mac have that an Amiga doesn't? This is not a rhetorical question.  
Here at CMU I tell people that CommonLisp is a pig for needing 6M and you are 
saying 4M would be nice. Has anyone given consideration to a minimally sized 
implementation?
