Description:	VSCM is a highly portable implementation of Scheme, written in ANSI C and Scheme. Portability is achieved by exlusive use of legal ANSI C features -- as opposed to a plethora of #ifdef's to adjust to various system peculiarities. (Of course, in real life ANSI C doesn't guarantee portability per se, because there are too many systems with broken compilers or broken libraries.)
Conformance:	R4RS, IEEE P1178
Features:	exception and interrupt handling, executable portable memory images, coroutines, continuations with multiple arguments
Ports:	Unix, Macintosh
Portability:	very high
Status:	actively developed
