SKETCHY(1)		SketchyLISP Interpreter		    SKETCHY(1)

NAME
	  sketchy - SketchyLISP	interpreter

USAGE
	  sketchy [-bBi] [-n nodes] [-m	vcells]	[-l image] [-f prog]
	  sk [-bBi] [-n	nodes] [-m vcells] [-l image] [-f prog]

DESCRIPTION
	  SketchyLISP  is  an  interpreter  for	 a  purely applicative
	  dialect of Scheme. It	may be considered an implementation of
	  pure	LISP  plus  global  definitions	 and some input/output
	  procedures.

	  The sketchy command starts the interpreter.

	  The sk command also starts the interpreter, but attempts  to
	  load	workspace images and shared libraries from the current
	  working directory.

OPTIONS
	  -b
	  -B
	      Batch  mode.  In	batch  mode  meta  commands  cause  no
	      confirmative messages, and the interpreter exits in case
	      of an error rather than returning	to the read-eval-print
	      loop.  When  -b  is used,	unspecific normal forms	do not
	      print.

	  -i
	      Init mode. Init mode is used to build the	initial	 image
	      file.  No	image is loaded.  Do not use this option.

	  -n nodes
	  -m vcells
	      Specify  the  size of the	node pool and vector cell pool
	      respectively.  Larger pools (up to some limit)  increase
	      performance.  The	 node  pool  holds  programs  and data
	      (except for strings), the	vcell pool holds strings.  The
	      memory footprint is calculated as	follows:

	      nodes * (sizeof(int) * 2 + 1) + vcells * sizeof(int)

	  -l image
	      Load  the	 given	workspace image	instead	of the default
	      one.

	  -f program
	      Load and run the given program, then exit.  The  program
	      must  have  a  procedure	of zero	arguments called main.
	      This procedure is	the entry point	of the program.	The -f
	      option implies -b.

FILES
	  PREFIX/share/sketchy
	      The  location  of	the SketchyLISP	image, library sources
	      and example programs.

ENVIRONMENT
	  SKETCHYSRC
	      This  variable  points  to  a  colon-separated  list  of
	      directories.  The	 require  procedure  and the :load and
	      :require meta  commands  search  these  directories  for
	      source files.
