Yeah, but didn't they use "SIOD" as their Scheme? 
*Old* syntax, no where near R[45]RS...


-Rob

p.s. Don't get me wrong, SIOD is nice & small, and *fast*-starting.
But picking it for the scripting base of a new tool and then saying
"uses Scheme" makes about as much sense as picking (say) Lisp 1.6 and
then saying "Hey, what are you CL guys complaining about, we used Lisp"...
