- This message announces the availability of Scheme release scm4a13.
-
- I have added DYNAMIC-WIND, EVAL, COPY-TREE, READ-LINE, READ-LINE!, and
- WRITE-LINE to scm. Reading lists is now tail-recursive in the CDR
- direction.
-
- I have added procedures PROCEDURE->MACRO and PROCEDURE->MEMOIZING-MACRO
- which give scm a both global and local macro capability. I hope that
- someone will implement R4RS macros using these procedures.
-
- hugh@ear.MIT.EDU (Hugh Secker-Walker) has improved eval. A compile
- time flag CAUTIOUS enables full checking of all argument counts.
-
- HEDDEN@esdsdf.dnet.ge.com has fixed bugs in the transcendental
- functions and number i/o.
-
- Scm conforms to Revised^4 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme
- and the IEEE P1178 specification. Scm is written in C and runs under
- Amiga, Atari-ST, MacOS, MS-DOS, NOS/VE, VMS, Unix and similar systems.
- ASCII and EBCDIC are supported.
-
- Documentation is included explaining the many Scheme Language
- extensions in scm, the internal representation and how to extend or
- include scm in other programs.
