Gambit

Gambit was previously known as SIS (Simple Implementation of Scheme) and formed the original Prolog package.

The package is made from two programs:

- gsi, the Gambit Scheme interpreter

- gsc, the Gambit Scheme compiler.

The compiler outputs portable C code, standalone executables or compiled modules which can be loaded at run time.

Developers are free to mix interpreted and compiled code together.

The source code distributions must be compiled with a C or C++ compiler.

What is new in this release:

• Add to Gambit REPL some functions to send SMS and take pictures (this functionnality still needs a bit of work).
