+This message announces the availability of Scheme Library release
+slib2a6.
+
+New in SLIB2a6:
+
+ * structure.scm scaoutp.scm scamacr.scm scainit.scm scaglob.scm
+ scaexpp.scm: Added missing copyright notice and terms.
+
+ * rbtest.scm rbtree.scm: removed for lack of copying permissions.
+
+ * root.scm (newton:find-integer-root integer-sqrt newton:find-root
+ laguerre:find-root laguerre:find-root): added.
+
+ * scanf.scm (stdio:scan-and-set): removed gratuitous char-downcase
+ by changing all (next-format-char) ==> (read-char format-port).

+SLIB is a portable scheme library meant to provide compatibiliy and
+utility functions for all standard scheme implementations.
+
+SLIB includes initialization files for Chez, ELK 2.1, GAMBIT,
+MacScheme, MITScheme, scheme->C, Scheme48, T3.1, and VSCM. SCM also
+supports SLIB.
+
+Documentation includes a manifest, installation instructions, and
+coding standards for the library. Documentation on each library
+package is supplied. SLIB Documentation is online at:
+
+ http://ftp-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/SLIB.html

+ prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/jacal/slib2a6.tar.gz
+ ftp.maths.tcd.ie:pub/bosullvn/jacal/slib2a6.tar.gz
+ ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/scheme-repository/imp/slib2a6.tar.gz
+
+SLIB-PSD is a portable debugger for Scheme (requires emacs editor):
+ ftp-swiss.ai.mit.edu:pub/scm/slib-psd1-3.tar.gz
+ prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/jacal/slib-psd1-3.tar.gz
+ ftp.maths.tcd.ie:pub/bosullvn/jacal/slib-psd1-3.tar.gz

+SLIB-SCHELOG is an embedding of Prolog in Scheme:
+ ftp-swiss.ai.mit.edu:pub/scm/slib-schelog.tar.gz
+ prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/jacal/slib-schelog.tar.gz
+ ftp.maths.tcd.ie:pub/bosullvn/jacal/slib-schelog.tar.gz

+
+Programs for printing and viewing TexInfo documentation (which SLIB
+has) come with GNU Emacs or can be obtained via ftp from:
+prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/texinfo-3.1.tar.gz
+
+Files in these directories are compressed with patent-free gzip (no
+relation to zip). The program to uncompress them is available from
+ prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gzip-1.2.4.tar
+ prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gzip-1.2.4.shar
+ prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gzip-1.2.4.msdos.exe
+
+ ftp ftp-swiss.ai.mit.edu (anonymous)
+ bin
+ cd pub/scm
+ get slib2a6.tar.gz
+or
+ ftp prep.ai.mit.edu (anonymous)
+ cd pub/gnu/jacal
+ bin
+ get slib2a6.tar.gz
+
+ `slib2a6.tar.gz' is a compressed tar file of a Scheme Library.
+
+Remember to use binary mode when transferring the *.tar.gz files.
