   scsh-0.3:

   I am unable to build "scsh" on a Convex C-2 running a BSD derivative.

   I did "configure" and then "make"

   Everything compiled along fine until this:

   (echo ",batch";  echo ",flush";  echo ",flush maps source names files 
table";  echo ",translate =scheme48/ ./";  echo ",config ,load cig/cig.scm";  
echo ",config ,load cig/libcig.scm";  echo ",load-package cig-standalone";  
echo ",flush"; echo ",flush maps source names files table";  echo ",in 
cig-standalone";  echo ",translate =scheme48/ /usr/local/lib/scsh/";  echo 
",build cig-standalone-toplevel /tmp/cig")  | ./scshvm -i ./scheme48.image

   heap not big enough to restore this image
   2146945876
   -2144057664
   *** Exit 255
   `enough' not built due to errors

   Any suggestions on what to do?


You can tell the vm how big a heap to allocate with the -h switch. So
    ./scshvm -h 1000000 -i ./scheme48.image
will make it use a mega-word heap (this is documented in the scsh manual
and also in the bad-arg useage message you get if you, for example, say
./scshvm -foo).

Keep me posted, will you? You'll probably have the fastest scsh implementation
on record if you get it going.
