UCB Scheme - binary distribution for Windows

Please download the following zip file to your windows harddrive and follow the directions given below. This version includes a subset of Cygwin, which emulates a UNIX environment and uses XWindows to enable an STk buffer within emacs.

Installing:

These are steps you only need to do once, to install UCB Scheme (STk) and emacs on Windows.

Download STk-ucb1.3.6.exe (63672 Kbytes).
Vista users only: Please download this file vistafix.exe.

After downloading the above file double-click the icon. You will be prompted as to whether to install Berkeley Scheme. Click on 'Yes' and wait until the process completes.
Vista users only: Apply the vistafix.exe patch after completing this step and then proceed with the rest of the configuration. [Vista instructions]

Once the script has completed you will find an icon on your desktop labeled "Cygwin". Double-click this icon. After some initialization type one of these at the prompt.

/usr/local/share/stk/setup-stk explorin (If you want the explorin setup) or /usr/local/share/stk/setup-stk simply (If you want the simply setup)

Once you have done the above, close the current cygwin window by typing "exit" at the prompt.
Now double-click on the icon labeled "startx" on the desktop.
If you are prompted by the windows security system, choose the "unblock" option.
Finally you will get a window that has an X at the top left corner.
From now on, you only need to double-click on the "startx.bat" desktop icon to open a window for running UCB Scheme.

Note that "startx.bat" just opens a text-based command Cygwin X window, as you would find when you login on the UNIX computers in the lab on campus. You need the Cygwin X window interface if you want to use emacs.

Running:

To start UCB Scheme within emacs:

Double-click on the icon labeled "startx.bat" on your desktop.

Wait a moment until a window pops up that has an X at the top left corner.

In the "X" window, type "emacs &". An emacs window pops up.

In the emacs window, type the 2 keys ESC-S at the same time to open STk in an emacs buffer. (On a PC, the meta key is ESC.)

It loads the version of stk that is defined in your .emacs file. That file is typically in your network home directory on campus (U:) or your local home directory (in C:\Documents and Settings) at home. The line that defines what is loaded by ESC-S is one of these:

       (setq scheme-program-name "stk-simply")
       (setq scheme-program-name "stk-explorin")

You can change that by repeating step 5 above, or by editting the .emacs file directly.

If you have installed STk-ucb1.3.6 (Jan 2008) or later, you can update your .emacs file for Windows from our sources by copying 2 files (emacs.explorin and emacs.simply) from here to C:\cygwin\usr\local\share\stk\ on your PC. Then repeat steps 5 above to reload one of these files into your .emacs file.

These are STk versions that are used by CS classes:

stk-explorin For CS3S. Loads all UCB Scheme procedures and explorin.scm takes precedence.

stk-simply For CS3 and CS61A. Loads all UCB Scheme procedures and simply.scm takes precedence.

stk-grfx For CS9D and CS47B. Loads UCB Scheme turtle graphics procedures.

Double-click on the icon labeled "startx.bat" on your desktop.
Wait a moment until a window pops up that has an X at the top left corner.
In the "X" window, type "/usr/local/bin/stk-grfx"
See http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~scheme/README-explorin-vs-simply.txt (section stk-grfx) for simple initializing of grafical window using stk-grfx.

stk For CS9D and CS47B. Loads no UCB Scheme procedures. This version is currently not created on Windows for use with emacs, but each of the versions above include all of the commands that are used.

stkdb This is Prof Hilfinger's STk debugger.

See http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~scheme/docs/stkdb.pdf for help.
Load it by typing these at the STk> prompts:
(define stkdb-vicinity "/usr/local/lib/stkdb/") (load "/usr/local/lib/stkdb/stkdb.scm") (import stk-debugger)

Alternate versions:

Edwin/Emacs
Users have reported that they successfully loaded and used the UC Berkeley "simply.scm" module on Microsoft Vista using the *scheme* mode buffer in the Edwin/Emacs editor that comes with MIT/GNU Scheme. The default Edwin buffer is in *scheme* mode and additional *scheme* buffers can be created using the Edwin REPL command. Note that the UC Berkeley "envdraw.scm" module won't work with this version of Scheme becuase it requires Tk.
