-SIOD is a small-footprint implementation of the Scheme programming
-language that is provided with some database, unix programming and cgi
-scripting extensions.
-
-The motivation behind SIOD remains a small footprint, in every sense
-of the word, at runtime, at compile time, and in cognitive attention
-required to understand how the system works enough to be able to
-extend it as well as the author would have done the work himself.
-
-About eight years have passed since that initial release. It has been
-possible to add a feature or two without contributing to the cause of
-software bloat, with the code segment of the libsiod shared library
-remaining under 75K bytes on a prototypical comparison machine like a
-VAX. Furthermore, as the richness of the C runtime library available
-on most systems has improved over time, SIOD remains a useful kind of
-glue to have in a software engineers toolbox.
