[plt-scheme] Structure and Interp of Mechanics

Paul,

MIT Scheme is not available for OS X, though I hear a port is in progress.

As far as I know, porting scmutils to PLT is not in the works. 
However, if you're serious about it, you might want to get in touch
with Sussman and Wisdom: in the past I've talked with Gerry about
porting it to PLT Scheme, and he seemed reasonably enthusiastic for
other people to take up that cause.  The tricky bit seems to be
properly hooking into (apply ...) to support their (very old---written
pre CLOS, even) custom object and generic-function system.  However,
Gerry was confident that someone who knew PLT scheme and the apply
hooks could port it pretty quickly using his inside knowledge.  I
don't think I'm that someone, but maybe you could do it....
