STk: UC Berkeley's version of STk for Mac OS X
Warning: This version of STk will only work on Mac OS X. If you want to use Scheme on a Mac OS 8.x/9.x system, you can use DrScheme, or if you want to use Scheme on an old Mac OS 7.x/68k system, you can use MacGambit. Neither DrScheme nor MacGambit are supported by Instructional Support. If they break, you get to keep all the little pieces.
Installing: Download STkMacOSX.dmg to your hard disk. It is a Disk Copy image for Mac OS X systems. Then double click on STkMacOSX.dmg, so that it mounts the "STkMacOSX" disk. Read and follow the directions in the "README" file it contains. You can also read the README here (rtf format). Alternatively, you may choose to use the STkMacOSX.tar.gz file . The Stuff-It Expander will read and open this file. (You cannot install it anywhere else than the Applications folder of your hard disk, because the program depends on the location of berkeley.scm.)
DMG Fixer: Some users have reported that the dmg file above appears as text in their WEB browser rather than being downloaded to their hard drive. There is a free repair utility called "DMG Fixer" that is for MacOSX systems that erroneously treat "dmg" files as text.Running: The STk versions for different classes are installed in the /Applications/STk/bin/ directory. The STk versions are:
| stk-explorin | loads all UCB Scheme procedures including explorin.scm, for CS3S |
| stk-simply | loads all UCB Scheme procedures including simply.scm, for CS3 and CS61A |
| stk | loads no UCB Scheme procedures, for CS9D and CS47B |
Sources: We have included the UCB modified STk sources on the CD.
