What about on a mac? I was just told that this works: mzscheme -m -f as.scm < myprogram.arc

It does work, but don't do that :) At least if you're generating, for example, very big lists : everything evaluated in your program will be displayed. If your code contains something like (= foo (range 1 1000000)), you'll somewhat regret it...

But, in many cases, that will work just fine, despite the noise generated by the repl. You can also do mzscheme -m -f as.scm < myprogram.arc >/dev/null to turn the whole output off (in case you don't need it at all).

Or wrap your whole program in a (do ... t) block, which is what I do. No change in semantics, and everything works fine.

I believe the mzc compiler works on mac. (I'm not talking about exe's in the Windows sense here.)

Yes, that works, if you don't mind command-line hacks.
