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

 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
 ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/scheme-repository/utl/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
 ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/scheme-repository/utl/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.
