Yes, it is available for Anon FTP from godzilla.cgl.rmit.oz.au

It is a port of version 6.2.2 and includes a GL interface for *fast*
3D shaded, zbuffered graphics. I have included a number of sample
gl-scheme examples.

I did this work a few years ago, I got some assistance from Jeff
Hultquist at Nasa Ames. In particular, he provided the undump code
(via emacs) and pointed out the problem with 'clear' (both a termcap
routine and a GL routine :-(

I have a version 7 port in an intermediate state, but I haven't worked
on it for a long time. Unfortunately, the foreign-function interface
changed a lot b/n version 6 & 7 and this of course required work on
the GL interfce...
