Oliver Laumann of the Berlin Technical University has written a Scheme 
interpreter called ELK. It's public domain, it's been posted, it's small and
extendable--and it runs on a 386. It contains bindings for X, Xt and Motif and
on OSs, that support dynamic linking, it will allow extensions to be loaded at
run time. The interpreter can be dumped and restarted from disk any time.
The Berlin Technical University does not maintain an FTP archive, but I just
checked with uunet and its available there at version 1.2. Version 1.3 isn't
released yet. I think it's a darn good hack.
