A patch is available for DrScheme v102.
Install the patch after installing DrScheme.

DrScheme is a graphical environment for developing programs using the Scheme, MzScheme, and MrEd programming languages. DrScheme runs under Windows 95/98/NT/2000, MacOS, and Unix/X.

DrScheme's features include:

  • Source text highlighting of syntax and run-time errors
  • Support for multiple levels of Scheme from Beginning Student to Full Scheme
  • An algebraic stepper for the Beginning Student language
  • Interactive and graphical static analysis
  • A graphical user interface (GUI) library
  • Objects, threads, modules, exceptions, TCP/IP, and regular expressions, and filesystem support

DrScheme is a part of the TeachScheme! project.

Related software:

  • MrSpidey is the interactive static analysis tool, distributed separately from DrScheme.
  • MysterX extends DrScheme with support for COM and ActiveX components under Windows 95/98/NT/2000.
  • DrScheme Jr is a text-only programming shell that supports the DrScheme teaching language levels plus the MzScheme language.

    System requirements: Windows 95/98/NT/2000, MacOS, or Unix running the X Window System. To run DrScheme comfortably, your machine should have at least 20 MB of RAM and at least 32 MB of total memory. Installing DrScheme requires about 12 MB of disk space.

    As a rough guide, the Windows version of DrScheme takes about 5 seconds to start up on a Pentium/300. A text-only version of DrScheme, DrScheme Jr, requires less memory, but it includes neither the graphical development environment nor the graphics toolbox.
