This software is available by anonymous FTP from ftp.nj.nec.com in
file pub/wright/softscheme.tar.gz.  This software requires pattern
matching extensions to Scheme available from ftp.nj.nec.com in file
pub/wright/match.tar.gz.  This software has been tested on Chez Scheme
4.1, SCM, MIT Scheme, and Scheme 48.  It will probably port easily to
other Schemes with SLIB.  It does require a fairly high performance
Scheme system.  See the FAQ on comp.lang.scheme (posted weekly) for
information on Chez, SCM, MIT Scheme, Scheme 48, and SLIB.  If you do
port Soft Scheme to other Scheme systems, please return any changes to
me.

The Soft Scheme distribution contains a postscript reference manual in
file manual.ps.gz.  This manual is also available on the
World-Wide-Web via URL:

See the file INSTALL or the reference manual for installation and
usage instructions.
