I would suggest something like siod (scheme in one define), which can
be used as a high level interpreter, in which one can program simple
algorithm. It can easily be integrated in a C-Programm. It allows
access to all data-structures from both sides. I thought of it over a lon=
g
time, because I want to use it for more intelligent pattern matching,
when talking with monster/altars...
It could be used in many ways. It might be used to as a command line
interpreter for all commands for the user-interface.
It's pretty fast and needs only about =
It can be compiled on unix/win32/mac/vms/amiga/atari and is pretty small.=
I made some small projects with siod as an extension language.
I would try to integrate it in crossfire, if it might be usefull.
Bis dann

=46rom the README of siod:
This is version 3.4 of Siod, Scheme In One Defun.
It is a small implementation of the Scheme programming language
with some database, unix programming and cgi scripting extensions.
The runtime footprint of the basic system is fairly small, with
the libsiod shared library linking to about 70kbytes of code on a
VAX using the standard DEC compilers for VMS. Results on other processor
architectures should scale accordingly.

The standard distribution contains unix manual pages in source
and text (txt) formats. A number of command files are provided that
invoke the interpreter to perform useful and/or exemplary tasks.
Support files and extensions =
Building: =
unix .... the makefile has different targets for common
operating system variants, and has been tested on all systems=
included in file.
vms .... descrip.mms or makefile.com. The linker-options files
provided are for VAX architecture implementations.
win32 .... i.e. Windows 95 and Windows NT. use make.bat
This makes a dll that can be used from any application,
and a main console-mode program, siod.exe
mac .... The THINK C siod project must include siod.c,slib.c,slib.c,
sliba.c, siodm.c, ANSI. The compilation option require =
prototypes is recommended. Hasn't been tested with release 3.=
2
amiga .... probably still works with minor source modifications.

Documentation:
siod.html is a sectionalized/cross-linked document in hyper text markup
language covering language built-in procedures, extensions, and
how to write extensions and use the shared library libsiod
from other C programs. But refer to the manual pages for
command line flags and parameters.

interface from: C, C++, Scheme, WEB CGI.
interface to: Oracle, RDB, flat ascii, flat binary. Sybase. MSQL.
access methods: flat files contain symbolic expression such as hash table=
s.

description: This is a scheme interpreter with built-in procedures using
the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) and RDB SQL Services.
You can use it merely as a flexible database loader/unloader
with fast binary flat-file data save/restore. Or you can
use it to apply the classic Symbolic Manipulation or
Artificial Intelligence techniques on your data sets.
The main-program can be oriented towards batch, character-cell
terminal, or Window/GUI. Sybase via ct library.
The system also provides a general purpose unix scripting=
