[gambit-list] BIT, PICBIT, PICOBIT (Was: Gambit and termite on an embedded system (Nintendo DS)?)

BIT, PICBIT and PICOBIT are different small Scheme systems which have been designed for various space constraints. Roughly speaking BIT is the least compact (it requires 2.5KB RAM) and PICOBIT is the most compact (it can run programs with only 256 bytes of RAM and 4 to 8KB of ROM).

I'm considering making Snow packages out of these.

How about just throwing the code out there in tgz form? A snow package seems like a lot of work for a code with such a limited audience.

Besides, these are probably very useful from the point of view of pedagogy. As such, people are likely to want to dig into the actual code anyway.

Having a simple Scheme system to analyze is a very useful thing.
