The second edition of SICP uses IEEE Scheme (basically R4RS
Scheme) and pretty much every Scheme implementation supports
R4RS -- s9fes from http://www.t3x.org/s9fes/ certainly
supports it. It doesn't support rational or complex numbers
but as I recall no example in SICP relies on those.
Killing parens won't make you an adult :-)
