Interesting, quoting from Fsharp's git repository:

This is really stinking cool. We have TinyScheme, s7 (a TinyScheme derivative), Chibi Scheme (which has become less tiny), and this. Like Doom, Scheme has become something you can have on even the smallest of systems; bloat is not an excuse not to use it.

Wait, is fopen deprecated? Is this just on Windows?
70 KLOC
Yes, but, that's generated code. The real source is 8680 LoC and written in a meta-language called #F ("False", no relation of F-sharp).

Is there #FIOF?
sharp-f not f-sharp you mean

EDIT: s7
I think you mean s7, correct? it is a tiny embeddable scheme.
Nice. Thanks for putting this together!!
