There are patches to make it *run* on 64-bit systems, though still as 32-bit.

I think that part of the problem was that scsh's original notation simply 
didn't lend itself to either the command line or simple scripts.  That reduced 
the number of people who'd be interested, and thus, less interest in scsh.  Now 
that we've fixed the notation problem, there may be more interest in updating 
it.

Could you talk with the scsh developers and see if there's an opportunity for 
combining forces in some way?  Utilities like "sweet-scsh" and "sweet-run" make 
it easy to *technically* combine these tools, and I'd like to think we're 
solving a problem for them.  At the least, I'd like for scsh to simply exit on 
end-of-file (unlike other shells it whines a lot on end-of-file).  
Transitioning it to guile would be easy for us, though not really necessary.  
The guile folks might like it, though.

This kind of format doesn't look too bad for either interactive or shell script 
use:
