Schemers: Demo version of 3D Scheme for Windows from 
              Schemer's Inc.
lang/scheme/impl/schemers/
Schemers Inc. publishes software and textbooks that promote the
use and advancement of Scheme in the educational and commercial
sectors. This directory contains a demo version of 3D Scheme for Windows.
3DScheme for Windows v1.0 is a Windows-based R4RS Scheme
interpreter incorporating over 450 geometrical Scheme primitives that 
access Spatial Technology Inc's ACIS (R) Geometric Modeling Kernel,
the de facto industry standard in 3D modeling. The 3D modeling
features include:
  -  construction of solid bodies from blocks, cylinders, cone
frustums, spheres, and toruses.
  -  construction of wire-bodies from straight, circular,
elliptical, Bezier, and spline edges.
  -  construction of solids by extruding planar faces or
profiles along a vector or revolving about an axis.
  -  application of rigid transformations, uniform scaling, and
boolean operations.
  -  intersect, trim, fillet, and chain edges.
  -  simultaneous views of solids from several different angles.
  -  dynamically accepted event-driven input for picking,
rubber banding, or dragging.
  -  rendering of solids using flat or Gouraud technology and
configurable refinements, materials, texture spaces, and
render lights.
  -  saving and loading collections of solid and wire entities
from disk in .sat format.
  -  outputting rendered images as high resolution bitmaps or
Postscript files.
3DScheme is seamlessly integrated with the WinScheme Editor.
3DScheme also ships with the "Getting Started with Scheme" book.  
3DScheme for Windows retails for $495.  (Note: The WinScheme Editor
is integrated into 3DScheme and does not need to be ordered separately.)
Their other products include:
   +  The WinScheme Editor v1.02, a Windows full-featured MDI
      editor for Scheme programs. $89.95.
   +  EdScheme for Windows v4.2, a R4RS-compatibile Windows-based
      Scheme interpreter.  $129.95 (includes WinScheme editor)
   +  EdScheme for Macintosh v4.0, a R4RS-compatibile Macintosh-based
      Scheme interpreter. $59.95.
   +  EdScheme for DOS v3.4, a DOS-based Scheme interpreter than
      incorporates a large subset of R4RS. $49.95.
  +  "The Schemer's Guide" by Iain Ferguson with Edward Martin and 
       Burt Kaufman, and foreword by Daniel Friedman. Excellent
       introduction to Scheme. $35.95.
   +  "Getting Started with Scheme: Using the ACIS 3D Toolkit" by 
      Edward Martin. $35.95 (Free with 3DScheme).
