- SoftQuad is using Scheme [*] as both an extension and implementation
- language for several of our products. These include a structured SGML
- editor (Author/Editor(tm)), an SGML application builder, and various
- text, graphics, and user-interface tools.

- [*] Our extension language is Scheme with optional object-oriented
- extensions, based on PSI. PSI, a Portable Scheme Interpreter, was
- originally written by Ozan Yigit of York University; SoftQuad has
- extended, ported, and optimized the interpreter (with Ozan's help).
- Doug Moen of Nixdorf also helped to make PSI much easier to port.
-
- One of these days, PSI will be released to Usenet.
