=======
UNSLISP
=======

R7RS compiler written in a basic form of Scheme. Compiles to Universal
Service GLLV bytecode.

License: GPL-3.0-only

-------------------
Source Restrictions
-------------------

Although the compiler handles all of R7RS, the source of UNSLISP is
designed to be used by a severely limited Scheme interpreter, which

* lacks ``call/cc``, ``call-with-values``, etc
* lacks user definable macros
* has fixnums only
* only uses immutable strings
* does not use "load" recursively
* uses R3RS essental procedures only (with some exceptions)

The goal is to have the compiler run under the MiniScheme in ``miniscm``
in DOS, and then run in GLLV to compile itself.

A proper implementation must have

* ``open-input-port``, ``read-char``
* ``open-output-port``, ``write-char``
* ``cond-expand``
* ``and``, ``or``
* ``error``

If your system supports any macro system at all, ``cond-expand``,
``and``, and ``or`` can be implemented. ``error`` can be implemented
as in SRFI-23 : https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-23/srfi-23.html .
