-This message announces the availability of Scheme Library release
-slib2c3.
-
-New in slib2c3 are filename matching (a la Bash glob) and `Schmooz', a
-lightweight markup language for interspersing Texinfo documentation
-with Scheme source code.
-
-	* slib.texi (Filenames): documented pattern strings.
-	* Makefile: Added $srcdir to TEXINPUTS for TeX.
-	* slib.texi (Schmooz): Added documentation.
-	* Makefile (info htmlform.txi): made smarter about when to run
-	schmooz.
-	* slib.texi (Format): documentation moved to fmtdoc.txi.
-	* glob.scm (filename:match?? filename:match-ci??): aliases added.
-	* primes.scm (primes:prngs): added to reduce likelyhood of
-	reentrant random calls.
-	* random.scm: rewritten using new seedable RNG.
-	* randinex.scm (random:uniform): Rewritten for new RNG.
-	* primes.scm (primes:dbsp?): Now requires 'root and uses
-	integer-sqrt for sqrt on platforms not supporting inexacts.
-	* record.scm (rtd-name): Fixed so record rtds print.
-	* cring.scm (*): Number distribution requires separate treatment.
-	* factor.scm (prime:factor): (factor 0) now returns '(0) rather
-	than infinite-looping.
-	* cring.scm (*): Added check for (* -1 (- <expr>)) case.
-	* prec.scm (prec:warn): now takes arbitrary number of arguments.
-	(prec:nofix): 
-	(prec:postfix): extra arguments are appended to the rules list;
-	not bound.
-	* qp.scm (qp:qp): *qp-width* set to #f now the same as *qp-width*
-	set to 0 -- the full expressions are printed.
-	* prec.scm (prec:nofix): Added . binds args, which are combined
-	with *syn-rules*.
-
- From: Radey Shouman  <Radey_Shouman@splashtech.com>
-
-	* glob.scm: Added.
-	* schmooz.scm (schmooz): Added @args markup command.
-	* schmooz.scm (schmooz): Now tries harder to determine whether a
-	definition is of a procedure or non-procedure variable.
-	Recognizes DEFMACRO, DEFINE-SYNTAX.
-	* schmooz.scm (scheme-args->macros): Now passed either a symbol,
-	for variable definition, or a possibly improper list, for
-	function/macro definition.  For the variable definition case
-	generates @var{... for @0 instead of @code{...  Now uses APPEND to
-	be more readable.

+	http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/prefixes.html .
+
+	(stdio:iprintf): Added numerical format specifiers %K and %k,
+	which format like %g, except that an SI prefix is output after the
+	number, which is scaled accordingly.  %K outputs a space between
+	number and prefix, %k does not.  It would be good to allow %f and
+	%e like formatting, but it's not clear how to fit this into the
+	format string syntax.

+@code{(require 'object)}
+@ftindex object
+
+This is the Macroless Object System written by Wade Humeniuk
+(whumeniu@@datap.ca).  Conceptual Tributes: @ref{Yasos}, MacScheme's
+%object, CLOS, Lack of R4RS macros.
+
+@subsection Concepts
+@table @asis
+
+@item OBJECT
+An object is an ordered association-list (by @code{eq?}) of methods
+(procedures).  Methods can be added (@code{make-method!}), deleted
+(@code{unmake-method!}) and retrieved (@code{get-method}).  Objects may
+inherit methods from other objects.  The object binds to the environment
+it was created in, allowing closures to be used to hide private
+procedures and data.
+
+@item GENERIC-METHOD
+A generic-method associates (in terms of @code{eq?}) object's method.
+This allows scheme function style to be used for objects.  The calling
+scheme for using a generic method is @code{(generic-method object param1
+param2 ...)}.
+
+@item METHOD
+A method is a procedure that exists in the object.  To use a method
+get-method must be called to look-up the method.  Generic methods
+implement the get-method functionality.  Methods may be added to an
+object associated with any scheme obj in terms of eq?
+
+@item GENERIC-PREDICATE
+A generic method that returns a boolean value for any scheme obj.
+
+@item PREDICATE
+A object's method asscociated with a generic-predicate. Returns
+@code{#t}.
+@end table
+
+@subsection Procedures
+
+@defun make-object ancestor @dots{}
+Returns an object.  Current object implementation is a tagged vector.
+@var{ancestor}s are optional and must be objects in terms of object?.
+@var{ancestor}s methods are included in the object.  Multiple
+@var{ancestor}s might associate the same generic-method with a method.
+In this case the method of the @var{ancestor} first appearing in the
+list is the one returned by @code{get-method}.
+@end defun
+
+@defun object? obj
+Returns boolean value whether @var{obj} was created by make-object.
+@end defun
+
+@defun make-generic-method exception-procedure
+Returns a procedure which be associated with an object's methods.  If
+@var{exception-procedure} is specified then it is used to process
+non-objects.
+@end defun
+
+@defun make-generic-predicate
+Returns a boolean procedure for any scheme object.
+@end defun
+
+@defun make-method! object generic-method method
+Associates @var{method} to the @var{generic-method} in the object.  The
+@var{method} overrides any previous association with the
+@var{generic-method} within the object.  Using @code{unmake-method!}
+will restore the object's previous association with the
+@var{generic-method}.  @var{method} must be a procedure.
+@end defun
+
+@defun make-predicate! object generic-preciate
+Makes a predicate method associated with the @var{generic-predicate}.
+@end defun
+
+@defun unmake-method! object generic-method
+Removes an object's association with a @var{generic-method} .
+@end defun
+
+@defun get-method object generic-method
+Returns the object's method associated (if any) with the
+@var{generic-method}.  If no associated method exists an error is
+flagged.
+@end defun

+Feature
+=======
+
+SLIB denotes "features" by symbols.  SLIB maintains a list of features
+supported by the Scheme "session".  The set of features provided by a
+session may change over time.  Some features are properties of the
+Scheme implementation being used.  The following features detail what
+sort of numbers are available from an implementation.
+
+   * 'inexact
+
+   * 'rational
+
+   * 'real
+
+   * 'complex
+
+   * 'bignum
+
+Other features correspond to the presence of sets of Scheme procedures
+or syntax (macros).
+
+ - Function: provided? FEATURE
+     Returns `#t' if FEATURE is supported by the current Scheme session.
+
+ - Procedure: provide FEATURE
+     Informs SLIB that FEATURE is supported.  Henceforth `(provided?
+     FEATURE)' will return `#t'.
+
+     (provided? 'foo)    => #f
+     (provide 'foo)
+     (provided? 'foo)    => #t
+
+
+File: slib.info,  Node: Requesting Features,  Next: Library Catalogs,  Prev: Feature,  Up: The Library System
+
+Requesting Features
+===================
+
+SLIB creates and maintains a "catalog" mapping features to locations of
+files introducing procedures and syntax denoted by those features.
+
+At the beginning of each section of this manual, there is a line like
+`(require 'FEATURE)'.  The Scheme files comprising SLIB are cataloged
+so that these feature names map to the corresponding files.
+
+SLIB provides a form, `require', which loads the files providing the
+requested feature.
+
+ - Procedure: require FEATURE
+        * If `(provided? FEATURE)' is true, then `require' just returns
+          an unspecified value.
+
+        * Otherwise, if FEATURE is found in the catalog, then the
+          corresponding files will be loaded and an unspecified value
+          returned.
+
+          Subsequently `(provided? FEATURE)' will return `#t'.
+
+        * Otherwise (FEATURE not found in the catalog), an error is
+          signaled.
+
+The catalog can also be queried using `require:feature->path'.
+
+ - Function: require:feature->path FEATURE
+        * If FEATURE is already provided, then returns `#t'.
+
+        * Otherwise, if FEATURE is in the catalog, the path or list of
+          paths associated with FEATURE is returned.
+
+        * Otherwise, returns `#f'.
+
+
+File: slib.info,  Node: Library Catalogs,  Next: Catalog Compilation,  Prev: Requesting Features,  Up: The Library System
+
+Library Catalogs
+================
+
+At the start of a session no catalog is present, but is created with the
+first catalog inquiry (such as `(require 'random)').  Several sources
+of catalog information are combined to produce the catalog:
+
+   * standard SLIB packages.
+
+   * additional packages of interest to this site.
+
+   * packages specifically for the variety of Scheme which this session
+     is running.
+
+   * packages this user wants to always have available.  This catalog
+     is the file `homecat' in the user's "HOME" directory.
+
+   * packages germane to working in this (current working) directory.
+     This catalog is the file `usercat' in the directory to which it
+     applies.  One would typically `cd' to this directory before
+     starting the Scheme session.
+
+Catalog files consist of one or more "association list"s.  In the
+circumstance where a feature symbol appears in more than one list, the
+latter list's association is retrieved.  Here are the supported formats
+for elements of catalog lists:
+
+`(FEATURE . <symbol>)'
+     Redirects to the feature named <symbol>.
+
+`(FEATURE . "<path>")'
+     Loads file <path>.
+
+`(FEATURE source "<path>")'
+     `slib:load's the Scheme source file <path>.
+
+`(FEATURE compiled "<path>" ...)'
+     `slib:load-compiled's the files <path> ....
+
+The various macro styles first `require' the named macro package, then
+just load <path> or load-and-macro-expand <path> as appropriate for the
+implementation.
+
+`(FEATURE defmacro "<path>")'
+     `defmacro:load's the Scheme source file <path>.
+
+`(FEATURE macro-by-example "<path>")'
+     `defmacro:load's the Scheme source file <path>.
+
+`(FEATURE macro "<path>")'
+     `macro:load's the Scheme source file <path>.
+
+`(FEATURE macros-that-work "<path>")'
+     `macro:load's the Scheme source file <path>.
+
+`(FEATURE syntax-case "<path>")'
+     `macro:load's the Scheme source file <path>.
+
+`(FEATURE syntactic-closures "<path>")'
+     `macro:load's the Scheme source file <path>.
+
+Here is an example of a `usercat' catalog.  A Program in this directory
+can invoke the `run' feature with `(require 'run)'.
+
+     ;;; "usercat": SLIB catalog additions for SIMSYNCH.     -*-scheme-*-

+File: slib.info,  Node: Catalog Compilation,  Next: Built-in Support,  Prev: Library Catalogs,  Up: The Library System
+
+Catalog Compilation
+===================
+
+SLIB combines the catalog information which doesn't vary per user into
+the file `slibcat' in the implementation-vicinity.  Therefore `slibcat'
+needs change only when new software is installed or compiled.  Because
+the actual pathnames of files can differ from installation to
+installation, SLIB builds a separate catalog for each implementation it
+is used with.
+
+The definition of `*SLIB-VERSION*' in SLIB file `require.scm' is
+checked against the catalog association of `*SLIB-VERSION*' to
+ascertain when versions have changed.  I recommend that the definition
+of `*SLIB-VERSION*' be changed whenever the library is changed.  If
+multiple implementations of Scheme use SLIB, remember that recompiling
+one `slibcat' will fix only that implementation's catalog.
+
+The compilation scripts of Scheme implementations which work with SLIB
+can automatically trigger catalog compilation by deleting `slibcat' or
+by invoking a special form of `require':
+
+ - Procedure: require 'new-catalog
+     This will load `mklibcat', which compiles and writes a new
+     `slibcat'.
+
+Another special form of `require' erases SLIB's catalog, forcing it to
+be reloaded the next time the catalog is queried.
+
+ - Procedure: require #f
+     Removes SLIB's catalog information.  This should be done before
+     saving an executable image so that, when restored, its catalog
+     will be loaded afresh.
+
+Each file in the table below is descibed in terms of its file-system
+independent "vicinity" (*note Vicinity::.).  The entries of a catalog
+in the table override those of catalogs above it in the table.
+
+`implementation-vicinity' `slibcat'
+     This file contains the associations for the packages comprising
+     SLIB, the `implcat' and the `sitecat's.  The associations in the
+     other catalogs override those of the standard catalog.
+
+`library-vicinity' `mklibcat.scm'
+     creates `slibcat'.
+
+`library-vicinity' `sitecat'
+     This file contains the associations specific to an SLIB
+     installation.
+
+`implementation-vicinity' `implcat'
+     This file contains the associations specific to an implementation
+     of Scheme.  Different implementations of Scheme should have
+     different `implementation-vicinity'.
+
+`implementation-vicinity' `mkimpcat.scm'
+     if present, creates `implcat'.
+
+`implementation-vicinity' `sitecat'
+     This file contains the associations specific to a Scheme
+     implementation installation.
+
+`home-vicinity' `homecat'
+     This file contains the associations specific to an SLIB user.
+
+`user-vicinity' `usercat'
+     This file contains associations effecting only those sessions whose
+     "working directory" is `user-vicinity'.

+Require
+-------
+
+ - Variable: *features*
+     Is a list of symbols denoting features supported in this
+     implementation.  *FEATURES* can grow as modules are `require'd.
+     *FEATURES* must be defined by all implementations (*note
+     Porting::.).
+
+     Here are features which SLIB (`require.scm') adds to *FEATURES*
+     when appropriate.
+
+        * 'inexact
+
+        * 'rational
+
+        * 'real
+
+        * 'complex
+
+        * 'bignum
+
+     For each item, `(provided? 'FEATURE)' will return `#t' if that
+     feature is available, and `#f' if not.
+
+ - Variable: *modules*
+     Is a list of pathnames denoting files which have been loaded.
+
+ - Variable: *catalog*
+     Is an association list of features (symbols) and pathnames which
+     will supply those features.  The pathname can be either a string
+     or a pair.  If pathname is a pair then the first element should be
+     a macro feature symbol, `source', or `compiled'.  The cdr of the
+     pathname should be either a string or a list.
+
+In the following functions if the argument FEATURE is not a symbol it
+is assumed to be a pathname.
+
+ - Function: provided? FEATURE
+     Returns `#t' if FEATURE is a member of `*features*' or `*modules*'
+     or if FEATURE is supported by a file already loaded and `#f'
+     otherwise.
+
+ - Procedure: require FEATURE
+     FEATURE is a symbol.  If `(provided? FEATURE)' is true `require'
+     returns.  Otherwise, if `(assq FEATURE *catalog*)' is not `#f',
+     the associated files will be loaded and `(provided? FEATURE)' will
+     henceforth return `#t'.  An unspecified value is returned.  If
+     FEATURE is not found in `*catalog*', then an error is signaled.
+
+ - Procedure: require PATHNAME
+     PATHNAME is a string.  If PATHNAME has not already been given as
+     an argument to `require', PATHNAME is loaded.  An unspecified
+     value is returned.
+
+ - Procedure: provide FEATURE
+     Assures that FEATURE is contained in `*features*' if FEATURE is a
+     symbol and `*modules*' otherwise.
+
+ - Function: require:feature->path FEATURE
+     Returns `#t' if FEATURE is a member of `*features*' or `*modules*'
+     or if FEATURE is supported by a file already loaded.  Returns a
+     path if one was found in `*catalog*' under the feature name, and
+     `#f' otherwise.  The path can either be a string suitable as an
+     argument to load or a pair as described above for *catalog*.

+
+Vicinity
+--------
+
+A vicinity is a descriptor for a place in the file system.  Vicinities
+hide from the programmer the concepts of host, volume, directory, and
+version.  Vicinities express only the concept of a file environment
+where a file name can be resolved to a file in a system independent
+manner.  Vicinities can even be used on "flat" file systems (which have
+no directory structure) by having the vicinity express constraints on
+the file name.  On most systems a vicinity would be a string.  All of
+these procedures are file system dependent.
+
+These procedures are provided by all implementations.
+
+ - Function: make-vicinity PATH
+     Returns the vicinity of PATH for use by `in-vicinity'.
+
+ - Function: program-vicinity
+     Returns the vicinity of the currently loading Scheme code.  For an
+     interpreter this would be the directory containing source code.
+     For a compiled system (with multiple files) this would be the
+     directory where the object or executable files are.  If no file is
+     currently loading it the result is undefined.  *Warning:*
+     `program-vicinity' can return incorrect values if your program
+     escapes back into a `load'.
+
+ - Function: library-vicinity
+     Returns the vicinity of the shared Scheme library.
+
+ - Function: implementation-vicinity
+     Returns the vicinity of the underlying Scheme implementation.  This
+     vicinity will likely contain startup code and messages and a
+     compiler.
+
+ - Function: user-vicinity
+     Returns the vicinity of the current directory of the user.  On most
+     systems this is `""' (the empty string).
+
+ - Function: home-vicinity
+     Returns the vicinity of the user's "HOME" directory, the directory
+     which typically contains files which customize a computer
+     environment for a user.  If scheme is running without a user (eg.
+     a daemon) or if this concept is meaningless for the platform, then
+     `home-vicinity' returns `#f'.
+
+ - Function: in-vicinity VICINITY FILENAME
+     Returns a filename suitable for use by `slib:load',
+     `slib:load-source', `slib:load-compiled', `open-input-file',
+     `open-output-file', etc.  The returned filename is FILENAME in
+     VICINITY.  `in-vicinity' should allow FILENAME to override
+     VICINITY when FILENAME is an absolute pathname and VICINITY is
+     equal to the value of `(user-vicinity)'.  The behavior of
+     `in-vicinity' when FILENAME is absolute and VICINITY is not equal
+     to the value of `(user-vicinity)' is unspecified.  For most systems
+     `in-vicinity' can be `string-append'.
+
+ - Function: sub-vicinity VICINITY NAME
+     Returns the vicinity of VICINITY restricted to NAME.  This is used
+     for large systems where names of files in subsystems could
+     conflict.  On systems with directory structure `sub-vicinity' will
+     return a pathname of the subdirectory NAME of VICINITY.

+
+These procedures are provided by all implementations.
+
+ - Procedure: file-exists? FILENAME
+     Returns `#t' if the specified file exists.  Otherwise, returns
+     `#f'.  If the underlying implementation does not support this
+     feature then `#f' is always returned.
+
+ - Procedure: delete-file FILENAME
+     Deletes the file specified by FILENAME.  If FILENAME can not be
+     deleted, `#f' is returned.  Otherwise, `#t' is returned.
+
+ - Procedure: tmpnam
+     Returns a pathname for a file which will likely not be used by any
+     other process.  Successive calls to `(tmpnam)' will return
+     different pathnames.
+
+ - Procedure: current-error-port
+     Returns the current port to which diagnostic and error output is
+     directed.
+
+ - Procedure: force-output
+ - Procedure: force-output PORT
+     Forces any pending output on PORT to be delivered to the output
+     device and returns an unspecified value.  The PORT argument may be
+     omitted, in which case it defaults to the value returned by
+     `(current-output-port)'.
+
+ - Procedure: output-port-width
+ - Procedure: output-port-width PORT
+     Returns the width of PORT, which defaults to
+     `(current-output-port)' if absent.  If the width cannot be
+     determined 79 is returned.
+
+ - Procedure: output-port-height
+ - Procedure: output-port-height PORT
+     Returns the height of PORT, which defaults to
+     `(current-output-port)' if absent.  If the height cannot be
+     determined 24 is returned.

+------
+
+These procedures are provided by all implementations.
+
+ - Procedure: slib:load-source NAME
+     Loads a file of Scheme source code from NAME with the default
+     filename extension used in SLIB.  For instance if the filename
+     extension used in SLIB is `.scm' then `(slib:load-source "foo")'
+     will load from file `foo.scm'.
+
+ - Procedure: slib:load-compiled NAME
+     On implementations which support separtely loadable compiled
+     modules, loads a file of compiled code from NAME with the
+     implementation's filename extension for compiled code appended.
+
+ - Procedure: slib:load NAME
+     Loads a file of Scheme source or compiled code from NAME with the
+     appropriate suffixes appended.  If both source and compiled code
+     are present with the appropriate names then the implementation
+     will load just one.  It is up to the implementation to choose
+     which one will be loaded.
+
+     If an implementation does not support compiled code then
+     `slib:load' will be identical to `slib:load-source'.
+
+ - Procedure: slib:eval OBJ
+     `eval' returns the value of OBJ evaluated in the current top level
+     environment.  *Note Eval:: provides a more general evaluation
+     facility.
+
+ - Procedure: slib:eval-load FILENAME EVAL
+     FILENAME should be a string.  If filename names an existing file,
+     the Scheme source code expressions and definitions are read from
+     the file and EVAL called with them sequentially.  The
+     `slib:eval-load' procedure does not affect the values returned by
+     `current-input-port' and `current-output-port'.
+
+ - Procedure: slib:warn ARG1 ARG2 ...
+     Outputs a warning message containing the arguments.
+
+ - Procedure: slib:error ARG1 ARG2 ...
+     Outputs an error message containing the arguments, aborts
+     evaluation of the current form and responds in a system dependent
+     way to the error.  Typical responses are to abort the program or
+     to enter a read-eval-print loop.
+
+ - Procedure: slib:exit N
+ - Procedure: slib:exit
+     Exits from the Scheme session returning status N to the system.
+     If N is omitted or `#t', a success status is returned to the
+     system (if possible).  If N is `#f' a failure is returned to the
+     system (if possible).  If N is an integer, then N is returned to
+     the system (if possible).  If the Scheme session cannot exit an
+     unspecified value is returned from `slib:exit'.

+
+  Defmacros are supported by all implementations.
+
+ - Function: gentemp
+     Returns a new (interned) symbol each time it is called.  The symbol

+          (gentemp) => scm:G0
+          (gentemp) => scm:G1
+
+ - Function: defmacro:eval E
+     Returns the `slib:eval' of expanding all defmacros in scheme
+     expression E.
+
+ - Function: defmacro:load FILENAME
+     FILENAME should be a string.  If filename names an existing file,
+     the `defmacro:load' procedure reads Scheme source code expressions
+     and definitions from the file and evaluates them sequentially.
+     These source code expressions and definitions may contain defmacro
+     definitions.  The `macro:load' procedure does not affect the values
+     returned by `current-input-port' and `current-output-port'.
+
+ - Function: defmacro? SYM
+     Returns `#t' if SYM has been defined by `defmacro', `#f' otherwise.
+
+ - Function: macroexpand-1 FORM
+ - Function: macroexpand FORM
+     If FORM is a macro call, `macroexpand-1' will expand the macro
+     call once and return it.  A FORM is considered to be a macro call
+     only if it is a cons whose `car' is a symbol for which a `defmacr'
+     has been defined.
+
+     `macroexpand' is similar to `macroexpand-1', but repeatedly
+     expands FORM until it is no longer a macro call.
+
+ - Macro: defmacro NAME LAMBDA-LIST FORM ...
+     When encountered by `defmacro:eval', `defmacro:macroexpand*', or
+     `defmacro:load' defines a new macro which will henceforth be

+
+R4RS Macros
+===========
+
+  `(require 'macro)' is the appropriate call if you want R4RS
+high-level macros but don't care about the low level implementation.  If
+an SLIB R4RS macro implementation is already loaded it will be used.
+Otherwise, one of the R4RS macros implemetations is loaded.
+
+  The SLIB R4RS macro implementations support the following uniform
+interface:
+
+ - Function: macro:expand SEXPRESSION
+     Takes an R4RS expression, macro-expands it, and returns the result
+     of the macro expansion.
+
+ - Function: macro:eval SEXPRESSION
+     Takes an R4RS expression, macro-expands it, evals the result of the
+     macro expansion, and returns the result of the evaluation.
+
+ - Procedure: macro:load FILENAME
+     FILENAME should be a string.  If filename names an existing file,
+     the `macro:load' procedure reads Scheme source code expressions and
+     definitions from the file and evaluates them sequentially.  These
+     source code expressions and definitions may contain macro
+     definitions.  The `macro:load' procedure does not affect the
+     values returned by `current-input-port' and `current-output-port'.
+

+
+Macro by Example
+================
+
+  `(require 'macro-by-example)'
+
+  A vanilla implementation of `Macro by Example' (Eugene Kohlbecker,
+R4RS) by Dorai Sitaram, (dorai@cs.rice.edu) using `defmacro'.
+
+   * generating hygienic global `define-syntax' Macro-by-Example macros
+     *cheaply*.
+
+   * can define macros which use `...'.
+
+   * needn't worry about a lexical variable in a macro definition
+     clashing with a variable from the macro use context
+
+   * don't suffer the overhead of redefining the repl if `defmacro'
+     natively supported (most implementations)
+
+Caveat
+------
+
+  These macros are not referentially transparent (*note Macros:
+(r4rs)Macros.).  Lexically scoped macros (i.e., `let-syntax' and
+`letrec-syntax') are not supported.  In any case, the problem of
+referential transparency gains poignancy only when `let-syntax' and
+`letrec-syntax' are used.  So you will not be courting large-scale
+disaster unless you're using system-function names as local variables
+with unintuitive bindings that the macro can't use.  However, if you
+must have the full `r4rs' macro functionality, look to the more
+featureful (but also more expensive) versions of syntax-rules available
+in slib *Note Macros That Work::, *Note Syntactic Closures::, and *Note
+Syntax-Case Macros::.
+
+ - Macro: define-syntax KEYWORD TRANSFORMER-SPEC
+     The KEYWORD is an identifier, and the TRANSFORMER-SPEC should be
+     an instance of `syntax-rules'.
+
+     The top-level syntactic environment is extended by binding the
+     KEYWORD to the specified transformer.
+
+          (define-syntax let*
+            (syntax-rules ()
+              ((let* () body1 body2 ...)
+               (let () body1 body2 ...))
+              ((let* ((name1 val1) (name2 val2) ...)
+                 body1 body2 ...)
+               (let ((name1 val1))
+                 (let* (( name2 val2) ...)
+                   body1 body2 ...)))))
+
+ - Macro: syntax-rules LITERALS SYNTAX-RULE ...
+     LITERALS is a list of identifiers, and each SYNTAX-RULE should be
+     of the form
+
+     `(PATTERN TEMPLATE)'
+
+     where the PATTERN and  TEMPLATE are as in the grammar above.
+
+     An instance of `syntax-rules' produces a new macro transformer by
+     specifying a sequence of hygienic rewrite rules.  A use of a macro
+     whose keyword is associated with a transformer specified by
+     `syntax-rules' is matched against the patterns contained in the
+     SYNTAX-RULEs, beginning with the leftmost SYNTAX-RULE.  When a
+     match is found, the macro use is trancribed hygienically according
+     to the template.
+
+     Each pattern begins with the keyword for the macro.  This keyword
+     is not involved in the matching and is not considered a pattern
+     variable or literal identifier.

+Macros That Work
+================
+
+  `(require 'macros-that-work)'
+
+  `Macros That Work' differs from the other R4RS macro implementations
+in that it does not expand derived expression types to primitive
+expression types.
+
+ - Function: macro:expand EXPRESSION
+ - Function: macwork:expand EXPRESSION
+     Takes an R4RS expression, macro-expands it, and returns the result
+     of the macro expansion.
+
+ - Function: macro:eval EXPRESSION
+ - Function: macwork:eval EXPRESSION
+     `macro:eval' returns the value of EXPRESSION in the current top
+     level environment.  EXPRESSION can contain macro definitions.
+     Side effects of EXPRESSION will affect the top level environment.
+
+ - Procedure: macro:load FILENAME
+ - Procedure: macwork:load FILENAME
+     FILENAME should be a string.  If filename names an existing file,
+     the `macro:load' procedure reads Scheme source code expressions and
+     definitions from the file and evaluates them sequentially.  These
+     source code expressions and definitions may contain macro
+     definitions.  The `macro:load' procedure does not affect the
+     values returned by `current-input-port' and `current-output-port'.

+
+Definitions
+-----------
+
+Scope of an ellipsis
+     Within a pattern or template, the scope of an ellipsis (`...') is
+     the pattern or template that appears to its left.
+
+Rank of a pattern variable
+     The rank of a pattern variable is the number of ellipses within
+     whose scope it appears in the pattern.
+
+Rank of a subtemplate
+     The rank of a subtemplate is the number of ellipses within whose
+     scope it appears in the template.
+
+Template rank of an occurrence of a pattern variable
+     The template rank of an occurrence of a pattern variable within a
+     template is the rank of that occurrence, viewed as a subtemplate.
+
+Variables bound by a pattern
+     The variables bound by a pattern are the pattern variables that
+     appear within it.
+
+Referenced variables of a subtemplate
+     The referenced variables of a subtemplate are the pattern
+     variables that appear within it.
+
+Variables opened by an ellipsis template
+     The variables opened by an ellipsis template are the referenced
+     pattern variables whose rank is greater than the rank of the
+     ellipsis template.
+
+Restrictions
+------------
+
+  No pattern variable appears more than once within a pattern.
+
+  For every occurrence of a pattern variable within a template, the
+template rank of the occurrence must be greater than or equal to the
+pattern variable's rank.
+
+  Every ellipsis template must open at least one variable.
+
+  For every ellipsis template, the variables opened by an ellipsis
+template must all be bound to sequences of the same length.
+
+  The compiled form of a RULE is
+
+     rule  ==>  (pattern template inserted)
+     
+     pattern  ==>  pattern_var
+                |  symbol
+                |  ()
+                |  (pattern . pattern)
+                |  ellipsis_pattern
+                |  #(pattern)
+                |  pattern_datum
+     
+     template  ==>  pattern_var
+                 |  symbol
+                 |  ()
+                 |  (template2 . template2)
+                 |  #(pattern)
+                 |  pattern_datum
+     
+     template2  ==>  template
+                  |  ellipsis_template
+     
+     pattern_datum  ==>  string
+                      |  character
+                      |  boolean
+                      |  number
+     
+     pattern_var  ==>  #(V symbol rank)
+     
+     ellipsis_pattern  ==>  #(E pattern pattern_vars)
+     
+     ellipsis_template  ==>  #(E template pattern_vars)
+     
+     inserted  ==>  ()
+                 |  (symbol . inserted)
+     
+     pattern_vars  ==>  ()
+                     |  (pattern_var . pattern_vars)
+     
+     rank  ==>  exact non-negative integer
+
+  where V and E are unforgeable values.
+
+  The pattern variables associated with an ellipsis pattern are the
+variables bound by the pattern, and the pattern variables associated
+with an ellipsis template are the variables opened by the ellipsis
+template.
+
+  If the template contains a big chunk that contains no pattern
+variables or inserted identifiers, then the big chunk will be copied
+unnecessarily.  That shouldn't matter very often.

+Syntactic Closures
+==================
+
+  `(require 'syntactic-closures)'
+
+ - Function: macro:expand EXPRESSION
+ - Function: synclo:expand EXPRESSION
+     Returns scheme code with the macros and derived expression types of
+     EXPRESSION expanded to primitive expression types.
+
+ - Function: macro:eval EXPRESSION
+ - Function: synclo:eval EXPRESSION
+     `macro:eval' returns the value of EXPRESSION in the current top
+     level environment.  EXPRESSION can contain macro definitions.
+     Side effects of EXPRESSION will affect the top level environment.
+
+ - Procedure: macro:load FILENAME
+ - Procedure: synclo:load FILENAME
+     FILENAME should be a string.  If filename names an existing file,
+     the `macro:load' procedure reads Scheme source code expressions and
+     definitions from the file and evaluates them sequentially.  These
+     source code expressions and definitions may contain macro
+     definitions.  The `macro:load' procedure does not affect the
+     values returned by `current-input-port' and `current-output-port'.

+Syntactic Closure Macro Facility
+--------------------------------
+
+                  A Syntactic Closures Macro Facility
+
+                            by Chris Hanson
+
+                            9 November 1991
+
+  This document describes "syntactic closures", a low-level macro
+facility for the Scheme programming language.  The facility is an
+alternative to the low-level macro facility described in the `Revised^4
+Report on Scheme.' This document is an addendum to that report.
+
+  The syntactic closures facility extends the BNF rule for TRANSFORMER
+SPEC to allow a new keyword that introduces a low-level macro
+transformer:
+     TRANSFORMER SPEC := (transformer EXPRESSION)
+
+  Additionally, the following procedures are added:
+     make-syntactic-closure
+     capture-syntactic-environment
+     identifier?
+     identifier=?
+
+  The description of the facility is divided into three parts.  The
+first part defines basic terminology.  The second part describes how
+macro transformers are defined.  The third part describes the use of
+"identifiers", which extend the syntactic closure mechanism to be
+compatible with `syntax-rules'.
+
+Terminology
+...........
+
+  This section defines the concepts and data types used by the syntactic
+closures facility.
+
+   * "Forms" are the syntactic entities out of which programs are
+     recursively constructed.  A form is any expression, any
+     definition, any syntactic keyword, or any syntactic closure.  The
+     variable name that appears in a `set!' special form is also a
+     form.  Examples of forms:
+          17
+          #t
+          car
+          (+ x 4)
+          (lambda (x) x)
+          (define pi 3.14159)
+          if
+          define
+
+   * An "alias" is an alternate name for a given symbol.  It can appear
+     anywhere in a form that the symbol could be used, and when quoted
+     it is replaced by the symbol; however, it does not satisfy the
+     predicate `symbol?'.  Macro transformers rarely distinguish
+     symbols from aliases, referring to both as identifiers.
+
+   * A "syntactic" environment maps identifiers to their meanings.
+     More precisely, it determines whether an identifier is a syntactic
+     keyword or a variable.  If it is a keyword, the meaning is an
+     interpretation for the form in which that keyword appears.  If it
+     is a variable, the meaning identifies which binding of that
+     variable is referenced.  In short, syntactic environments contain
+     all of the contextual information necessary for interpreting the
+     meaning of a particular form.
+
+   * A "syntactic closure" consists of a form, a syntactic environment,
+     and a list of identifiers.  All identifiers in the form take their
+     meaning from the syntactic environment, except those in the given
+     list.  The identifiers in the list are to have their meanings
+     determined later.  A syntactic closure may be used in any context
+     in which its form could have been used.  Since a syntactic closure
+     is also a form, it may not be used in contexts where a form would
+     be illegal.  For example, a form may not appear as a clause in the
+     cond special form.  A syntactic closure appearing in a quoted
+     structure is replaced by its form.
+
+Transformer Definition
+......................
+
+  This section describes the `transformer' special form and the
+procedures `make-syntactic-closure' and `capture-syntactic-environment'.
+
+ - Syntax: transformer EXPRESSION
+     Syntax: It is an error if this syntax occurs except as a
+     TRANSFORMER SPEC.
+
+     Semantics: The EXPRESSION is evaluated in the standard transformer
+     environment to yield a macro transformer as described below.  This
+     macro transformer is bound to a macro keyword by the special form
+     in which the `transformer' expression appears (for example,
+     `let-syntax').
+
+     A "macro transformer" is a procedure that takes two arguments, a
+     form and a syntactic environment, and returns a new form.  The
+     first argument, the "input form", is the form in which the macro
+     keyword occurred.  The second argument, the "usage environment",
+     is the syntactic environment in which the input form occurred.
+     The result of the transformer, the "output form", is automatically
+     closed in the "transformer environment", which is the syntactic
+     environment in which the `transformer' expression occurred.
+
+     For example, here is a definition of a push macro using
+     `syntax-rules':
+          (define-syntax  push
+            (syntax-rules ()
+              ((push item list)
+               (set! list (cons item list)))))
+
+     Here is an equivalent definition using `transformer':
+          (define-syntax push
+            (transformer
+             (lambda (exp env)
+               (let ((item
+                      (make-syntactic-closure env '() (cadr exp)))
+                     (list
+                      (make-syntactic-closure env '() (caddr exp))))
+                 `(set! ,list (cons ,item ,list))))))
+
+     In this example, the identifiers `set!' and `cons' are closed in
+     the transformer environment, and thus will not be affected by the
+     meanings of those identifiers in the usage environment `env'.
+
+     Some macros may be non-hygienic by design.  For example, the
+     following defines a loop macro that implicitly binds `exit' to an
+     escape procedure.  The binding of `exit' is intended to capture
+     free references to `exit' in the body of the loop, so `exit' must
+     be left free when the body is closed:
+          (define-syntax loop
+            (transformer
+             (lambda (exp env)
+               (let ((body (cdr exp)))
+                 `(call-with-current-continuation
+                   (lambda (exit)
+                     (let f ()
+                       ,@(map (lambda  (exp)
+                                 (make-syntactic-closure env '(exit)
+                                                         exp))
+                               body)
+                       (f))))))))
+
+     To assign meanings to the identifiers in a form, use
+     `make-syntactic-closure' to close the form in a syntactic
+     environment.
+
+ - Function: make-syntactic-closure ENVIRONMENT FREE-NAMES FORM
+     ENVIRONMENT must be a syntactic environment, FREE-NAMES must be a
+     list of identifiers, and FORM must be a form.
+     `make-syntactic-closure' constructs and returns a syntactic closure
+     of FORM in ENVIRONMENT, which can be used anywhere that FORM could
+     have been used.  All the identifiers used in FORM, except those
+     explicitly excepted by FREE-NAMES, obtain their meanings from
+     ENVIRONMENT.
+
+     Here is an example where FREE-NAMES is something other than the
+     empty list.  It is instructive to compare the use of FREE-NAMES in
+     this example with its use in the `loop' example above: the examples
+     are similar except for the source of the identifier being left
+     free.
+          (define-syntax let1
+            (transformer
+             (lambda (exp env)
+               (let ((id (cadr exp))
+                     (init (caddr exp))
+                     (exp (cadddr exp)))
+                 `((lambda (,id)
+                     ,(make-syntactic-closure env (list id) exp))
+                   ,(make-syntactic-closure env '() init))))))
+
+     `let1' is a simplified version of `let' that only binds a single
+     identifier, and whose body consists of a single expression.  When
+     the body expression is syntactically closed in its original
+     syntactic environment, the identifier that is to be bound by
+     `let1' must be left free, so that it can be properly captured by
+     the `lambda' in the output form.
+
+     To obtain a syntactic environment other than the usage
+     environment, use `capture-syntactic-environment'.
+
+ - Function: capture-syntactic-environment PROCEDURE
+     `capture-syntactic-environment' returns a form that will, when
+     transformed, call PROCEDURE on the current syntactic environment.
+     PROCEDURE should compute and return a new form to be transformed,
+     in that same syntactic environment, in place of the form.
+
+     An example will make this clear.  Suppose we wanted to define a
+     simple `loop-until' keyword equivalent to
+          (define-syntax loop-until
+            (syntax-rules ()
+              ((loop-until id init test return step)
+               (letrec ((loop
+                         (lambda (id)
+                           (if test return (loop step)))))
+                 (loop init)))))
+
+     The following attempt at defining `loop-until' has a subtle bug:
+          (define-syntax loop-until
+            (transformer
+             (lambda (exp env)
+               (let ((id (cadr exp))
+                     (init (caddr exp))
+                     (test (cadddr exp))
+                     (return (cadddr (cdr exp)))
+                     (step (cadddr (cddr exp)))
+                     (close
+                      (lambda (exp free)
+                        (make-syntactic-closure env free exp))))
+                 `(letrec ((loop
+                            (lambda (,id)
+                              (if ,(close test (list id))
+                                  ,(close return (list id))
+                                  (loop ,(close step (list id)))))))
+                    (loop ,(close init '())))))))
+
+     This definition appears to take all of the proper precautions to
+     prevent unintended captures.  It carefully closes the
+     subexpressions in their original syntactic environment and it
+     leaves the `id' identifier free in the `test', `return', and
+     `step' expressions, so that it will be captured by the binding
+     introduced by the `lambda' expression.  Unfortunately it uses the
+     identifiers `if' and `loop' within that `lambda' expression, so if
+     the user of `loop-until' just happens to use, say, `if' for the
+     identifier, it will be inadvertently captured.
+
+     The syntactic environment that `if' and `loop' want to be exposed
+     to is the one just outside the `lambda' expression: before the
+     user's identifier is added to the syntactic environment, but after
+     the identifier loop has been added.
+     `capture-syntactic-environment' captures exactly that environment
+     as follows:
+          (define-syntax loop-until
+            (transformer
+             (lambda (exp env)
+               (let ((id (cadr exp))
+                     (init (caddr exp))
+                     (test (cadddr exp))
+                     (return (cadddr (cdr exp)))
+                     (step (cadddr (cddr exp)))
+                     (close
+                      (lambda (exp free)
+                        (make-syntactic-closure env free exp))))
+                 `(letrec ((loop
+                            ,(capture-syntactic-environment
+                              (lambda (env)
+                                `(lambda (,id)
+                                   (,(make-syntactic-closure env '() `if)
+                                    ,(close test (list id))
+                                    ,(close return (list id))
+                                    (,(make-syntactic-closure env '()
+                                                              `loop)
+                                     ,(close step (list id)))))))))
+                    (loop ,(close init '())))))))
+
+     In this case, having captured the desired syntactic environment,
+     it is convenient to construct syntactic closures of the
+     identifiers `if' and the `loop' and use them in the body of the
+     `lambda'.
+
+     A common use of `capture-syntactic-environment' is to get the
+     transformer environment of a macro transformer:
+          (transformer
+           (lambda (exp env)
+             (capture-syntactic-environment
+              (lambda (transformer-env)
+                ...))))
+
+Identifiers
+...........
+
+  This section describes the procedures that create and manipulate
+identifiers.  Previous syntactic closure proposals did not have an
+identifier data type - they just used symbols.  The identifier data
+type extends the syntactic closures facility to be compatible with the
+high-level `syntax-rules' facility.
+
+  As discussed earlier, an identifier is either a symbol or an "alias".
+An alias is implemented as a syntactic closure whose "form" is an
+identifier:
+     (make-syntactic-closure env '() 'a)
+        => an "alias"
+
+  Aliases are implemented as syntactic closures because they behave just
+like syntactic closures most of the time.  The difference is that an
+alias may be bound to a new value (for example by `lambda' or
+`let-syntax'); other syntactic closures may not be used this way.  If
+an alias is bound, then within the scope of that binding it is looked
+up in the syntactic environment just like any other identifier.
+
+  Aliases are used in the implementation of the high-level facility
+`syntax-rules'.  A macro transformer created by `syntax-rules' uses a
+template to generate its output form, substituting subforms of the
+input form into the template.  In a syntactic closures implementation,
+all of the symbols in the template are replaced by aliases closed in
+the transformer environment, while the output form itself is closed in
+the usage environment.  This guarantees that the macro transformation
+is hygienic, without requiring the transformer to know the syntactic
+roles of the substituted input subforms.
+
+ - Function: identifier? OBJECT
+     Returns `#t' if OBJECT is an identifier, otherwise returns `#f'.
+     Examples:
+          (identifier? 'a)
+             => #t
+          (identifier? (make-syntactic-closure env '() 'a))
+             => #t
+          (identifier? "a")
+             => #f
+          (identifier? #\a)
+             => #f
+          (identifier? 97)
+             => #f
+          (identifier? #f)
+             => #f
+          (identifier? '(a))
+             => #f
+          (identifier? '#(a))
+             => #f
+
+     The predicate `eq?' is used to determine if two identifers are
+     "the same".  Thus `eq?' can be used to compare identifiers exactly
+     as it would be used to compare symbols.  Often, though, it is
+     useful to know whether two identifiers "mean the same thing".  For
+     example, the `cond' macro uses the symbol `else' to identify the
+     final clause in the conditional.  A macro transformer for `cond'
+     cannot just look for the symbol `else', because the `cond' form
+     might be the output of another macro transformer that replaced the
+     symbol `else' with an alias.  Instead the transformer must look
+     for an identifier that "means the same thing" in the usage
+     environment as the symbol `else' means in the transformer
+     environment.
+
+ - Function: identifier=? ENVIRONMENT1 IDENTIFIER1 ENVIRONMENT2
+          IDENTIFIER2
+     ENVIRONMENT1 and ENVIRONMENT2 must be syntactic environments, and
+     IDENTIFIER1 and IDENTIFIER2 must be identifiers.  `identifier=?'
+     returns `#t' if the meaning of IDENTIFIER1 in ENVIRONMENT1 is the
+     same as that of IDENTIFIER2 in ENVIRONMENT2, otherwise it returns
+     `#f'.  Examples:
+
+          (let-syntax
+              ((foo
+                (transformer
+                 (lambda (form env)

+                    (lambda (transformer-env)
+                      (identifier=? transformer-env 'x env 'x)))))))
+            (list (foo)
+                  (let ((x 3))
+                    (foo))))

+Syntax-Case Macros
+==================
+
+  `(require 'syntax-case)'
+
+ - Function: macro:expand EXPRESSION
+ - Function: syncase:expand EXPRESSION
+     Returns scheme code with the macros and derived expression types of
+     EXPRESSION expanded to primitive expression types.
+
+ - Function: macro:eval EXPRESSION
+ - Function: syncase:eval EXPRESSION
+     `macro:eval' returns the value of EXPRESSION in the current top
+     level environment.  EXPRESSION can contain macro definitions.
+     Side effects of EXPRESSION will affect the top level environment.
+
+ - Procedure: macro:load FILENAME
+ - Procedure: syncase:load FILENAME
+     FILENAME should be a string.  If filename names an existing file,
+     the `macro:load' procedure reads Scheme source code expressions and
+     definitions from the file and evaluates them sequentially.  These
+     source code expressions and definitions may contain macro
+     definitions.  The `macro:load' procedure does not affect the
+     values returned by `current-input-port' and `current-output-port'.
+
+  This is version 2.1 of `syntax-case', the low-level macro facility
+proposed and implemented by Robert Hieb and R. Kent Dybvig.
+
+  This version is further adapted by Harald Hanche-Olsen
+<hanche@imf.unit.no> to make it compatible with, and easily usable
+with, SLIB.  Mainly, these adaptations consisted of:
+
+   * Removing white space from `expand.pp' to save space in the
+     distribution.  This file is not meant for human readers anyway...
+
+   * Removed a couple of Chez scheme dependencies.
+
+   * Renamed global variables used to minimize the possibility of name
+     conflicts.
+
+   * Adding an SLIB-specific initialization file.
+
+   * Removing a couple extra files, most notably the documentation (but
+     see below).
+
+  If you wish, you can see exactly what changes were done by reading the
+shell script in the file `syncase.sh'.
+
+  The two PostScript files were omitted in order to not burden the SLIB
+distribution with them.  If you do intend to use `syntax-case',
+however, you should get these files and print them out on a PostScript
+printer.  They are available with the original `syntax-case'
+distribution by anonymous FTP in
+`cs.indiana.edu:/pub/scheme/syntax-case'.
+
+  In order to use syntax-case from an interactive top level, execute:
+     (require 'syntax-case)
+     (require 'repl)
+     (repl:top-level macro:eval)
+  See the section Repl (*note Repl::.) for more information.
+
+  To check operation of syntax-case get
+`cs.indiana.edu:/pub/scheme/syntax-case', and type
+     (require 'syntax-case)
+     (syncase:sanity-check)
+
+  Beware that `syntax-case' takes a long time to load - about 20s on a
+SPARCstation SLC (with SCM) and about 90s on a Macintosh SE/30 (with
+Gambit).
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+  All R4RS syntactic forms are defined, including `delay'.  Along with
+`delay' are simple definitions for `make-promise' (into which `delay'
+expressions expand) and `force'.
+
+  `syntax-rules' and `with-syntax' (described in `TR356') are defined.
+
+  `syntax-case' is actually defined as a macro that expands into calls
+to the procedure `syntax-dispatch' and the core form `syntax-lambda';
+do not redefine these names.
+
+  Several other top-level bindings not documented in TR356 are created:
+   * the "hooks" in `hooks.ss'
+
+   * the `build-' procedures in `output.ss'
+
+   * `expand-syntax' (the expander)
+
+  The syntax of define has been extended to allow `(define ID)', which
+assigns ID to some unspecified value.
+
+  We have attempted to maintain R4RS compatibility where possible.  The
+incompatibilities should be confined to `hooks.ss'.  Please let us know
+if there is some incompatibility that is not flagged as such.
+
+  Send bug reports, comments, suggestions, and questions to Kent Dybvig
+(dyb@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu).
+
+Note from maintainer
+--------------------
+
+  Included with the `syntax-case' files was `structure.scm' which
+defines a macro `define-structure'.  There is no documentation for this
+macro and it is not used by any code in SLIB.

+Fluid-Let
+=========
+
+  `(require 'fluid-let)'
+
+ - Syntax: fluid-let `(BINDINGS ...)' FORMS...
+
+     (fluid-let ((VARIABLE INIT) ...)
+        EXPRESSION EXPRESSION ...)
+
+  The INITs are evaluated in the current environment (in some
+unspecified order), the current values of the VARIABLEs are saved, the
+results are assigned to the VARIABLEs, the EXPRESSIONs are evaluated
+sequentially in the current environment, the VARIABLEs are restored to
+their original values, and the value of the last EXPRESSION is returned.
+
+  The syntax of this special form is similar to that of `let', but
+`fluid-let' temporarily rebinds existing VARIABLEs.  Unlike `let',
+`fluid-let' creates no new bindings; instead it *assigns* the values of
+each INIT to the binding (determined by the rules of lexical scoping)
+of its corresponding VARIABLE.

+Terms
+-----
+
+"Object"
+     Any Scheme data object.
+
+"Instance"
+     An instance of the OO system; an "object".
+
+"Operation"
+     A METHOD.
+
+*Notes:*
+     The object system supports multiple inheritance.  An instance can
+     inherit from 0 or more ancestors.  In the case of multiple
+     inherited operations with the same identity, the operation used is
+     that from the first ancestor which contains it (in the ancestor
+     `let').  An operation may be applied to any Scheme data
+     object--not just instances.  As code which creates instances is
+     just code, there are no "classes" and no meta-ANYTHING.  Method
+     dispatch is by a procedure call a la CLOS rather than by `send'
+     syntax a la Smalltalk.
+
+*Disclaimer:*
+     There are a number of optimizations which can be made.  This
+     implementation is expository (although performance should be quite
+     reasonable).  See the L&FP paper for some suggestions.

+
+Interface
+---------
+
+ - Syntax: define-operation `('OPNAME SELF ARG ...`)' DEFAULT-BODY
+     Defines a default behavior for data objects which don't handle the
+     operation OPNAME.  The default behavior (for an empty
+     DEFAULT-BODY) is to generate an error.
+
+ - Syntax: define-predicate OPNAME?
+     Defines a predicate OPNAME?, usually used for determining the
+     "type" of an object, such that `(OPNAME? OBJECT)' returns `#t' if
+     OBJECT has an operation OPNAME? and `#f' otherwise.
+
+ - Syntax: object `((NAME SELF ARG ...) BODY)' ...
+     Returns an object (an instance of the object system) with
+     operations.  Invoking `(NAME OBJECT ARG ...' executes the BODY of
+     the OBJECT with SELF bound to OBJECT and with argument(s) ARG....
+
+ - Syntax: object-with-ancestors `(('ANCESTOR1 INIT1`)' ...`)'
+          OPERATION ...
+     A `let'-like form of `object' for multiple inheritance.  It
+     returns an object inheriting the behaviour of ANCESTOR1 etc.  An
+     operation will be invoked in an ancestor if the object itself does
+     not provide such a method.  In the case of multiple inherited
+     operations with the same identity, the operation used is the one
+     found in the first ancestor in the ancestor list.
+
+ - Syntax: operate-as COMPONENT OPERATION SELF ARG ...
+     Used in an operation definition (of SELF) to invoke the OPERATION
+     in an ancestor COMPONENT but maintain the object's identity.  Also
+     known as "send-to-super".
+
+ - Procedure: print OBJ PORT
+     A default `print' operation is provided which is just `(format
+     PORT OBJ)' (*note Format::.) for non-instances and prints OBJ
+     preceded by `#<INSTANCE>' for instances.
+
+ - Function: size OBJ
+     The default method returns the number of elements in OBJ if it is
+     a vector, string or list, `2' for a pair, `1' for a character and
+     by default id an error otherwise.  Objects such as collections
+     (*note Collections::.) may override the default in an obvious way.
+
+
+File: slib.info,  Node: Setters,  Next: Yasos examples,  Prev: Yasos interface,  Up: Yasos
+
+Setters
+-------
+
+  "Setters" implement "generalized locations" for objects associated
+with some sort of mutable state.  A "getter" operation retrieves a
+value from a generalized location and the corresponding setter
+operation stores a value into the location.  Only the getter is named -
+the setter is specified by a procedure call as below.  (Dylan uses
+special syntax.)  Typically, but not necessarily, getters are access
+operations to extract values from Yasos objects (*note Yasos::.).
+Several setters are predefined, corresponding to getters `car', `cdr',
+`string-ref' and `vector-ref' e.g., `(setter car)' is equivalent to
+`set-car!'.
+
+  This implementation of setters is similar to that in Dylan(TM)
+(`Dylan: An object-oriented dynamic language', Apple Computer Eastern
+Research and Technology).  Common LISP provides similar facilities
+through `setf'.
+
+ - Function: setter GETTER
+     Returns the setter for the procedure GETTER.  E.g., since
+     `string-ref' is the getter corresponding to a setter which is
+     actually `string-set!':
+          (define foo "foo")
+          ((setter string-ref) foo 0 #\F) ; set element 0 of foo
+          foo => "Foo"
+
+ - Syntax: set PLACE NEW-VALUE
+     If PLACE is a variable name, `set' is equivalent to `set!'.
+     Otherwise, PLACE must have the form of a procedure call, where the
+     procedure name refers to a getter and the call indicates an
+     accessible generalized location, i.e., the call would return a
+     value.  The return value of `set' is usually unspecified unless
+     used with a setter whose definition guarantees to return a useful
+     value.
+          (set (string-ref foo 2) #\O)  ; generalized location with getter
+          foo => "FoO"
+          (set foo "foo")               ; like set!
+          foo => "foo"
+
+ - Procedure: add-setter GETTER SETTER
+     Add procedures GETTER and SETTER to the (inaccessible) list of
+     valid setter/getter pairs.  SETTER implements the store operation
+     corresponding to the GETTER access operation for the relevant
+     state.  The return value is unspecified.
+
+ - Procedure: remove-setter-for GETTER
+     Removes the setter corresponding to the specified GETTER from the
+     list of valid setters.  The return value is unspecified.
+
+ - Syntax: define-access-operation GETTER-NAME
+     Shorthand for a Yasos `define-operation' defining an operation
+     GETTER-NAME that objects may support to return the value of some
+     mutable state.  The default operation is to signal an error.  The
+     return value is unspecified.

+Precedence Parsing Overview
+---------------------------
+
+This package offers improvements over previous parsers.
+
+   * Common computer language constructs are concisely specified.
+
+   * Grammars can be changed dynamically.  Operators can be assigned
+     different meanings within a lexical context.
+
+   * Rulesets don't need compilation.  Grammars can be changed
+     incrementally.
+
+   * Operator precedence is specified by integers.
+
+   * All possibilities of bad input are handled (1) and return as much
+     structure as was parsed when the error occured; The symbol `?' is
+     substituted for missing input.
+
+Here are the higher-level syntax types and an example of each.
+Precedence considerations are omitted for clarity.  See *Note Grammar
+Rule Definition:: for full details.
+
+ - Grammar: nofix bye exit
+          bye
+     calls the function `exit' with no arguments.
+
+ - Grammar: prefix - negate
+          - 42
+     Calls the function `negate' with the argument `42'.
+
+ - Grammar: infix - difference
+          x - y
+     Calls the function `difference' with arguments `x' and `y'.
+
+ - Grammar: nary + sum
+          x + y + z
+     Calls the function `sum' with arguments `x', `y', and `y'.
+
+ - Grammar: postfix ! factorial
+          5 !
+     Calls the function `factorial' with the argument `5'.
+
+ - Grammar: prestfix set set!
+          set foo bar
+     Calls the function `set!' with the arguments `foo' and `bar'.
+
+ - Grammar: commentfix /* */
+          /* almost any text here */
+     Ignores the comment delimited by `/*' and `*/'.
+
+ - Grammar: matchfix { list }
+          {0, 1, 2}
+     Calls the function `list' with the arguments `0', `1', and `2'.
+
+ - Grammar: inmatchfix ( funcall )
+          f(x, y)
+     Calls the function `funcall' with the arguments `f', `x', and `y'.
+
+ - Grammar: delim ;
+          set foo bar;
+     delimits the extent of the restfix operator `set'.

+Ruleset Definition and Use
+--------------------------
+
+ - Variable: *syn-defs*
+     A grammar is built by one or more calls to `prec:define-grammar'.
+     The rules are appended to *SYN-DEFS*.  The value of *SYN-DEFS* is
+     the grammar suitable for passing as an argument to `prec:parse'.
+
+ - Constant: *syn-ignore-whitespace*
+     Is a nearly empty grammar with whitespace characters set to group
+     0, which means they will not be made into tokens.  Most rulesets
+     will want to start with `*syn-ignore-whitespace*'
+
+In order to start defining a grammar, either
+
+     (set! *syn-defs* '())
+
+or
+
+     (set! *syn-defs* *syn-ignore-whitespace*)

+     Appends RULE1 ... to *SYN-DEFS*.  `prec:define-grammar' is used to
+     define both the character classes and rules for tokens.
+
+Once your grammar is defined, save the value of `*syn-defs*' in a
+variable (for use when calling `prec:parse').
+
+     (define my-ruleset *syn-defs*)
+
+ - Function: prec:parse RULESET DELIM
+ - Function: prec:parse RULESET DELIM PORT
+     The RULESET argument must be a list of rules as constructed by
+     `prec:define-grammar' and extracted from *SYN-DEFS*.
+
+     The token DELIM may be a character, symbol, or string.  A
+     character DELIM argument will match only a character token; i.e. a
+     character for which no token-group is assigned.  A symbols or
+     string will match only a token string; i.e. a token resulting from
+     a token group.
+
+     `prec:parse' reads a RULESET grammar expression delimited by DELIM
+     from the given input PORT.  `prec:parse' returns the next object
+     parsable from the given input PORT, updating PORT to point to the
+     first character past the end of the external representation of the
+     object.
+
+     If an end of file is encountered in the input before any
+     characters are found that can begin an object, then an end of file
+     object is returned.  If a delimiter (such as DELIM) is found
+     before any characters are found that can begin an object, then
+     `#f' is returned.
+
+     The PORT argument may be omitted, in which case it defaults to the
+     value returned by `current-input-port'.  It is an error to parse
+     from a closed port.

+Token definition
+----------------
+
+ - Function: tok:char-group GROUP CHARS CHARS-PROC
+     The argument CHARS may be a single character, a list of
+     characters, or a string.  Each character in CHARS is treated as
+     though `tok:char-group' was called with that character alone.
+
+     The argument CHARS-PROC must be a procedure of one argument, a
+     list of characters.  After `tokenize' has finished accumulating
+     the characters for a token, it calls CHARS-PROC with the list of
+     characters.  The value returned is the token which `tokenize'
+     returns.
+
+     The argument GROUP may be an exact integer or a procedure of one
+     character argument.  The following discussion concerns the
+     treatment which the tokenizing routine, `tokenize', will accord to
+     characters on the basis of their groups.
+
+     When GROUP is a non-zero integer, characters whose group number is
+     equal to or exactly one less than GROUP will continue to
+     accumulate.  Any other character causes the accumulation to stop
+     (until a new token is to be read).
+
+     The GROUP of zero is special.  These characters are ignored when
+     parsed pending a token, and stop the accumulation of token
+     characters when the accumulation has already begun.  Whitespace
+     characters are usually put in group 0.
+
+     If GROUP is a procedure, then, when triggerd by the occurence of
+     an initial (no accumulation) CHARS character, this procedure will
+     be repeatedly called with each successive character from the input
+     stream until the GROUP procedure returns a non-false value.
+
+The following convenient constants are provided for use with
+`tok:char-group'.
+
+ - Constant: tok:decimal-digits
+     Is the string `"0123456789"'.
+
+ - Constant: tok:upper-case
+     Is the string consisting of all upper-case letters
+     ("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ").
+
+ - Constant: tok:lower-case
+     Is the string consisting of all lower-case letters
+     ("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz").
+
+ - Constant: tok:whitespaces
+     Is the string consisting of all characters between 0 and 255 for
+     which `char-whitespace?' returns true.

+
+The "Null Denotation" (or "nud") of a token is the procedure and
+arguments applying for that token when "Left", an unclaimed parsed
+expression is not extant.
+
+The "Left Denotation" (or "led") of a token is the procedure,
+arguments, and lbp applying for that token when there is a "Left", an
+unclaimed parsed expression.
+
+In his paper,
+
+     Pratt, V. R.  Top Down Operator Precendence.  `SIGACT/SIGPLAN
+     Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages', Boston, 1973,
+     pages 41-51
+
+  the "left binding power" (or "lbp") was an independent property of
+tokens.  I think this was done in order to allow tokens with NUDs but
+not LEDs to also be used as delimiters, which was a problem for
+statically defined syntaxes.  It turns out that *dynamically binding*
+NUDs and LEDs allows them independence.
+
+For the rule-defining procedures that follow, the variable TK may be a
+character, string, or symbol, or a list composed of characters,
+strings, and symbols.  Each element of TK is treated as though the
+procedure were called for each element.
+
+Character TK arguments will match only character tokens; i.e.
+characters for which no token-group is assigned.  Symbols and strings
+will both match token strings; i.e. tokens resulting from token groups.
+
+ - Function: prec:make-nud TK SOP ARG1 ...
+     Returns a rule specifying that SOP be called when TK is parsed.
+     If SOP is a procedure, it is called with TK and ARG1 ... as its
+     arguments; the resulting value is incorporated into the expression
+     being built.  Otherwise, `(list SOP ARG1 ...)' is incorporated.
+
+If no NUD has been defined for a token; then if that token is a string,
+it is converted to a symbol and returned; if not a string, the token is
+returned.
+
+ - Function: prec:make-led TK SOP ARG1 ...
+     Returns a rule specifying that SOP be called when TK is parsed and
+     LEFT has an unclaimed parsed expression.  If SOP is a procedure,
+     it is called with LEFT, TK, and ARG1 ... as its arguments; the
+     resulting value is incorporated into the expression being built.
+     Otherwise, LEFT is incorporated.
+
+If no LED has been defined for a token, and LEFT is set, the parser
+issues a warning.

+
+Grammar Rule Definition
+-----------------------
+
+Here are procedures for defining rules for the syntax types introduced
+in *Note Precedence Parsing Overview::.
+
+For the rule-defining procedures that follow, the variable TK may be a
+character, string, or symbol, or a list composed of characters,
+strings, and symbols.  Each element of TK is treated as though the
+procedure were called for each element.
+
+For procedures prec:delim, ..., prec:prestfix, if the SOP argument is
+`#f', then the token which triggered this rule is converted to a symbol
+and returned.  A false SOP argument to the procedures prec:commentfix,
+prec:matchfix, or prec:inmatchfix has a different meaning.
+
+Character TK arguments will match only character tokens; i.e.
+characters for which no token-group is assigned.  Symbols and strings
+will both match token strings; i.e. tokens resulting from token groups.
+
+ - Function: prec:delim TK
+     Returns a rule specifying that TK should not be returned from
+     parsing; i.e. TK's function is purely syntactic.  The end-of-file
+     is always treated as a delimiter.
+
+ - Function: prec:nofix TK SOP
+     Returns a rule specifying the following actions take place when TK
+     is parsed:
+        * If SOP is a procedure, it is called with no arguments; the
+          resulting value is incorporated into the expression being
+          built.  Otherwise, the list of SOP is incorporated.
+
+ - Function: prec:prefix TK SOP BP RULE1 ...
+     Returns a rule specifying the following actions take place when TK
+     is parsed:
+        * The rules RULE1 ... augment and, in case of conflict, override
+          rules currently in effect.
+
+        * `prec:parse1' is called with binding-power BP.
+
+        * If SOP is a procedure, it is called with the expression
+          returned from `prec:parse1'; the resulting value is
+          incorporated into the expression being built.  Otherwise, the
+          list of SOP and the expression returned from `prec:parse1' is
+          incorporated.
+
+        * The ruleset in effect before TK was parsed is restored; RULE1
+          ... are forgotten.
+
+ - Function: prec:infix TK SOP LBP BP RULE1 ...
+     Returns a rule declaring the left-binding-precedence of the token
+     TK is LBP and specifying the following actions take place when TK
+     is parsed:
+        * The rules RULE1 ... augment and, in case of conflict, override
+          rules currently in effect.
+
+        * One expression is parsed with binding-power LBP.  If instead a
+          delimiter is encountered, a warning is issued.
+
+        * If SOP is a procedure, it is applied to the list of LEFT and
+          the parsed expression; the resulting value is incorporated
+          into the expression being built.  Otherwise, the list of SOP,
+          the LEFT expression, and the parsed expression is
+          incorporated.
+
+        * The ruleset in effect before TK was parsed is restored; RULE1
+          ... are forgotten.
+
+ - Function: prec:nary TK SOP BP
+     Returns a rule declaring the left-binding-precedence of the token
+     TK is BP and specifying the following actions take place when TK
+     is parsed:
+        * Expressions are parsed with binding-power BP as far as they
+          are interleaved with the token TK.
+
+        * If SOP is a procedure, it is applied to the list of LEFT and
+          the parsed expressions; the resulting value is incorporated
+          into the expression being built.  Otherwise, the list of SOP,
+          the LEFT expression, and the parsed expressions is
+          incorporated.
+
+ - Function: prec:postfix TK SOP LBP
+     Returns a rule declaring the left-binding-precedence of the token
+     TK is LBP and specifying the following actions take place when TK
+     is parsed:
+        * If SOP is a procedure, it is called with the LEFT expression;
+          the resulting value is incorporated into the expression being
+          built.  Otherwise, the list of SOP and the LEFT expression is
+          incorporated.
+
+ - Function: prec:prestfix TK SOP BP RULE1 ...
+     Returns a rule specifying the following actions take place when TK
+     is parsed:
+        * The rules RULE1 ... augment and, in case of conflict, override
+          rules currently in effect.
+
+        * Expressions are parsed with binding-power BP until a
+          delimiter is reached.
+
+        * If SOP is a procedure, it is applied to the list of parsed
+          expressions; the resulting value is incorporated into the
+          expression being built.  Otherwise, the list of SOP and the
+          parsed expressions is incorporated.
+
+        * The ruleset in effect before TK was parsed is restored; RULE1
+          ... are forgotten.
+
+ - Function: prec:commentfix TK STP MATCH RULE1 ...
+     Returns rules specifying the following actions take place when TK
+     is parsed:
+        * The rules RULE1 ... augment and, in case of conflict, override
+          rules currently in effect.
+
+        * Characters are read until and end-of-file or a sequence of
+          characters is read which matches the *string* MATCH.
+
+        * If STP is a procedure, it is called with the string of all
+          that was read between the TK and MATCH (exclusive).
+
+        * The ruleset in effect before TK was parsed is restored; RULE1
+          ... are forgotten.
+
+     Parsing of commentfix syntax differs from the others in several
+     ways.  It reads directly from input without tokenizing; It calls
+     STP but does not return its value; nay any value.  I added the STP
+     argument so that comment text could be echoed.
+
+ - Function: prec:matchfix TK SOP SEP MATCH RULE1 ...
+     Returns a rule specifying the following actions take place when TK
+     is parsed:
+        * The rules RULE1 ... augment and, in case of conflict, override
+          rules currently in effect.
+
+        * A rule declaring the token MATCH a delimiter takes effect.
+
+        * Expressions are parsed with binding-power `0' until the token
+          MATCH is reached.  If the token SEP does not appear between
+          each pair of expressions parsed, a warning is issued.
+
+        * If SOP is a procedure, it is applied to the list of parsed
+          expressions; the resulting value is incorporated into the
+          expression being built.  Otherwise, the list of SOP and the
+          parsed expressions is incorporated.
+
+        * The ruleset in effect before TK was parsed is restored; RULE1
+          ... are forgotten.
+
+ - Function: prec:inmatchfix TK SOP SEP MATCH LBP RULE1 ...
+     Returns a rule declaring the left-binding-precedence of the token
+     TK is LBP and specifying the following actions take place when TK
+     is parsed:
+        * The rules RULE1 ... augment and, in case of conflict, override
+          rules currently in effect.
+
+        * A rule declaring the token MATCH a delimiter takes effect.
+
+        * Expressions are parsed with binding-power `0' until the token
+          MATCH is reached.  If the token SEP does not appear between
+          each pair of expressions parsed, a warning is issued.
+
+        * If SOP is a procedure, it is applied to the list of LEFT and
+          the parsed expressions; the resulting value is incorporated
+          into the expression being built.  Otherwise, the list of SOP,
+          the LEFT expression, and the parsed expressions is
+          incorporated.
+
+        * The ruleset in effect before TK was parsed is restored; RULE1
+          ... are forgotten.

+
+ - Function: format DESTINATION FORMAT-STRING . ARGUMENTS
+     An almost complete implementation of Common LISP format description
+     according to the CL reference book `Common LISP' from Guy L.
+     Steele, Digital Press.  Backward compatible to most of the
+     available Scheme format implementations.
+
+     Returns `#t', `#f' or a string; has side effect of printing
+     according to FORMAT-STRING.  If DESTINATION is `#t', the output is
+     to the current output port and `#t' is returned.  If DESTINATION
+     is `#f', a formatted string is returned as the result of the call.
+     NEW: If DESTINATION is a string, DESTINATION is regarded as the
+     format string; FORMAT-STRING is then the first argument and the
+     output is returned as a string. If DESTINATION is a number, the
+     output is to the current error port if available by the
+     implementation. Otherwise DESTINATION must be an output port and
+     `#t' is returned.
+
+     FORMAT-STRING must be a string.  In case of a formatting error
+     format returns `#f' and prints a message on the current output or
+     error port.  Characters are output as if the string were output by
+     the `display' function with the exception of those prefixed by a
+     tilde (~).  For a detailed description of the FORMAT-STRING syntax
+     please consult a Common LISP format reference manual.  For a test
+     suite to verify this format implementation load `formatst.scm'.
+     Please send bug reports to `lutzeb@cs.tu-berlin.de'.
+
+     Note: `format' is not reentrant, i.e. only one `format'-call may
+     be executed at a time.

+-----------------------------------------
+
+  Please consult a Common LISP format reference manual for a detailed
+description of the format string syntax.  For a demonstration of the
+implemented directives see `formatst.scm'.
+
+  This implementation supports directive parameters and modifiers (`:'
+and `@' characters). Multiple parameters must be separated by a comma
+(`,').  Parameters can be numerical parameters (positive or negative),
+character parameters (prefixed by a quote character (`''), variable
+parameters (`v'), number of rest arguments parameter (`#'), empty and
+default parameters.  Directive characters are case independent. The
+general form of a directive is:

+
+Configuration Variables
+.......................
+
+  Format has some configuration variables at the beginning of
+`format.scm' to suit the systems and users needs. There should be no
+modification necessary for the configuration that comes with SLIB.  If
+modification is desired the variable should be set after the format
+code is loaded. Format detects automatically if the running scheme
+system implements floating point numbers and complex numbers.
+
+FORMAT:SYMBOL-CASE-CONV
+     Symbols are converted by `symbol->string' so the case type of the
+     printed symbols is implementation dependent.
+     `format:symbol-case-conv' is a one arg closure which is either
+     `#f' (no conversion), `string-upcase', `string-downcase' or
+     `string-capitalize'. (default `#f')
+
+FORMAT:IOBJ-CASE-CONV
+     As FORMAT:SYMBOL-CASE-CONV but applies for the representation of
+     implementation internal objects. (default `#f')
+
+FORMAT:EXPCH
+     The character prefixing the exponent value in `~E' printing.
+     (default `#\E')
+
+Compatibility With Other Format Implementations
+...............................................
+
+SLIB format 2.x:
+     See `format.doc'.
+
+SLIB format 1.4:
+     Downward compatible except for padding support and `~A', `~S',
+     `~P', `~X' uppercase printing.  SLIB format 1.4 uses C-style
+     `printf' padding support which is completely replaced by the CL
+     `format' padding style.
+
+MIT C-Scheme 7.1:
+     Downward compatible except for `~', which is not documented
+     (ignores all characters inside the format string up to a newline
+     character).  (7.1 implements `~a', `~s', ~NEWLINE, `~~', `~%',
+     numerical and variable parameters and `:/@' modifiers in the CL
+     sense).
+
+Elk 1.5/2.0:
+     Downward compatible except for `~A' and `~S' which print in
+     uppercase.  (Elk implements `~a', `~s', `~~', and `~%' (no
+     directive parameters or modifiers)).
+
+Scheme->C 01nov91:
+     Downward compatible except for an optional destination parameter:
+     S2C accepts a format call without a destination which returns a
+     formatted string. This is equivalent to a #f destination in S2C.
+     (S2C implements `~a', `~s', `~c', `~%', and `~~' (no directive
+     parameters or modifiers)).
+
+  This implementation of format is solely useful in the SLIB context
+because it requires other components provided by SLIB.

+Standard Formatted Output
+-------------------------
+
+  `(require 'printf)'
+
+ - Procedure: printf FORMAT ARG1 ...
+ - Procedure: fprintf PORT FORMAT ARG1 ...
+ - Procedure: sprintf STR FORMAT ARG1 ...
+ - Procedure: sprintf #F FORMAT ARG1 ...
+ - Procedure: sprintf K FORMAT ARG1 ...
+     Each function converts, formats, and outputs its ARG1 ...
+     arguments according to the control string FORMAT argument and
+     returns the number of characters output.
+
+     `printf' sends its output to the port `(current-output-port)'.
+     `fprintf' sends its output to the port PORT.  `sprintf'
+     `string-set!'s locations of the non-constant string argument STR
+     to the output characters.
+
+     Two extensions of `sprintf' return new strings.  If the first
+     argument is `#f', then the returned string's length is as many
+     characters as specified by the FORMAT and data; if the first
+     argument is a non-negative integer K, then the length of the
+     returned string is also bounded by K.
+
+     The string FORMAT contains plain characters which are copied to
+     the output stream, and conversion specifications, each of which
+     results in fetching zero or more of the arguments ARG1 ....  The
+     results are undefined if there are an insufficient number of
+     arguments for the format.  If FORMAT is exhausted while some of the
+     ARG1 ... arguments remain unused, the excess ARG1 ... arguments
+     are ignored.
+
+     The conversion specifications in a format string have the form:
+
+          % [ FLAGS ] [ WIDTH ] [ . PRECISION ] [ TYPE ] CONVERSION
+
+     An output conversion specifications consist of an initial `%'
+     character followed in sequence by:
+
+        * Zero or more "flag characters" that modify the normal
+          behavior of the conversion specification.
+
+         `-'
+               Left-justify the result in the field.  Normally the
+               result is right-justified.
+
+         `+'
+               For the signed `%d' and `%i' conversions and all inexact
+               conversions, prefix a plus sign if the value is positive.
+
+         ` '
+               For the signed `%d' and `%i' conversions, if the result
+               doesn't start with a plus or minus sign, prefix it with
+               a space character instead.  Since the `+' flag ensures
+               that the result includes a sign, this flag is ignored if
+               both are specified.
+
+         `#'
+               For inexact conversions, `#' specifies that the result
+               should always include a decimal point, even if no digits
+               follow it.  For the `%g' and `%G' conversions, this also
+               forces trailing zeros after the decimal point to be
+               printed where they would otherwise be elided.
+
+               For the `%o' conversion, force the leading digit to be
+               `0', as if by increasing the precision.  For `%x' or
+               `%X', prefix a leading `0x' or `0X' (respectively) to
+               the result.  This doesn't do anything useful for the
+               `%d', `%i', or `%u' conversions.  Using this flag
+               produces output which can be parsed by the `scanf'
+               functions with the `%i' conversion (*note Standard
+               Formatted Input::.).
+
+         `0'
+               Pad the field with zeros instead of spaces.  The zeros
+               are placed after any indication of sign or base.  This
+               flag is ignored if the `-' flag is also specified, or if
+               a precision is specified for an exact converson.
+
+        * An optional decimal integer specifying the "minimum field
+          width".  If the normal conversion produces fewer characters
+          than this, the field is padded (with spaces or zeros per the
+          `0' flag) to the specified width.  This is a *minimum* width;
+          if the normal conversion produces more characters than this,
+          the field is *not* truncated.
+
+          Alternatively, if the field width is `*', the next argument
+          in the argument list (before the actual value to be printed)
+          is used as the field width.  The width value must be an
+          integer.  If the value is negative it is as though the `-'
+          flag is set (see above) and the absolute value is used as the
+          field width.
+
+        * An optional "precision" to specify the number of digits to be
+          written for numeric conversions and the maximum field width
+          for string conversions.  The precision is specified by a
+          period (`.') followed optionally by a decimal integer (which
+          defaults to zero if omitted).
+
+          Alternatively, if the precision is `.*', the next argument in
+          the argument list (before the actual value to be printed) is
+          used as the precision.  The value must be an integer, and is
+          ignored if negative.  If you specify `*' for both the field
+          width and precision, the field width argument precedes the
+          precision argument.  The `.*' precision is an enhancement.  C
+          library versions may not accept this syntax.
+
+          For the `%f', `%e', and `%E' conversions, the precision
+          specifies how many digits follow the decimal-point character.
+          The default precision is `6'.  If the precision is
+          explicitly `0', the decimal point character is suppressed.
+
+          For the `%g' and `%G' conversions, the precision specifies how
+          many significant digits to print.  Significant digits are the
+          first digit before the decimal point, and all the digits
+          after it.  If the precision is `0' or not specified for `%g'
+          or `%G', it is treated like a value of `1'.  If the value
+          being printed cannot be expressed accurately in the specified
+          number of digits, the value is rounded to the nearest number
+          that fits.
+
+          For exact conversions, if a precision is supplied it
+          specifies the minimum number of digits to appear; leading
+          zeros are produced if necessary.  If a precision is not
+          supplied, the number is printed with as many digits as
+          necessary.  Converting an exact `0' with an explicit
+          precision of zero produces no characters.
+
+        * An optional one of `l', `h' or `L', which is ignored for
+          numeric conversions.  It is an error to specify these
+          modifiers for non-numeric conversions.
+
+        * A character that specifies the conversion to be applied.
+
+Exact Conversions
+.................
+
+    `d', `i'
+          Print an integer as a signed decimal number.  `%d' and `%i'
+          are synonymous for output, but are different when used with
+          `scanf' for input (*note Standard Formatted Input::.).
+
+    `o'
+          Print an integer as an unsigned octal number.
+
+    `u'
+          Print an integer as an unsigned decimal number.
+
+    `x', `X'
+          Print an integer as an unsigned hexadecimal number.  `%x'
+          prints using the digits `0123456789abcdef'.  `%X' prints
+          using the digits `0123456789ABCDEF'.
+
+Inexact Conversions
+...................
+
+    `f'
+          Print a floating-point number in fixed-point notation.
+
+    `e', `E'
+          Print a floating-point number in exponential notation.  `%e'
+          prints `e' between mantissa and exponont.  `%E' prints `E'
+          between mantissa and exponont.
+
+    `g', `G'
+          Print a floating-point number in either fixed or exponential        |
+          notation, whichever is more appropriate for its magnitude.
+          Unless an `#' flag has been supplied trailing zeros after a
+          decimal point will be stripped off. `%g' prints `e' between
+          mantissa and exponont.  `%G' prints `E' between mantissa and
+          exponent.
+
+Other Conversions
+.................
+
+    `c'
+          Print a single character.  The `-' flag is the only one which
+          can be specified.  It is an error to specify a precision.
+
+    `s'
+          Print a string.  The `-' flag is the only one which can be
+          specified.  A precision specifies the maximum number of
+          characters to output; otherwise all characters in the string
+          are output.
+
+    `a', `A'
+          Print a scheme expression.  The `-' flag left-justifies the
+          output.  The `#' flag specifies that strings and characters
+          should be quoted as by `write' (which can be read using
+          `read'); otherwise, output is as `display' prints.  A
+          precision specifies the maximum number of characters to
+          output; otherwise as many characters as needed are output.
+
+          *Note:* `%a' and `%A' are SLIB extensions.
+
+    `%'
+          Print a literal `%' character.  No argument is consumed.  It
+          is an error to specifiy flags, field width, precision, or

+
+ - Macro: scanf FORMAT ARG1 ...
+ - Macro: fscanf PORT FORMAT ARG1 ...
+ - Macro: sscanf STR FORMAT ARG1 ...
+     Each function reads characters, interpreting them according to the
+     control string FORMAT argument.
+
+     `scanf-read-list' returns a list of the items specified as far as
+     the input matches FORMAT.  `scanf', `fscanf', and `sscanf' return
+     the number of items successfully matched and stored.  `scanf',
+     `fscanf', and `sscanf' also set the location corresponding to ARG1
+     ... using the methods:

+          `vector-set!'
+
+    substring expression
+          `substring-move-left!'
+
+     The argument to a `substring' expression in ARG1 ... must be a
+     non-constant string.  Characters will be stored starting at the
+     position specified by the second argument to `substring'.  The
+     number of characters stored will be limited by either the position
+     specified by the third argument to `substring' or the length of the
+     matched string, whichever is less.
+
+     The control string, FORMAT, contains conversion specifications and
+     other characters used to direct interpretation of input sequences.
+     The control string contains:
+
+        * White-space characters (blanks, tabs, newlines, or formfeeds)
+          that cause input to be read (and discarded) up to the next
+          non-white-space character.
+
+        * An ordinary character (not `%') that must match the next
+          character of the input stream.
+
+        * Conversion specifications, consisting of the character `%', an
+          optional assignment suppressing character `*', an optional
+          numerical maximum-field width, an optional `l', `h' or `L'
+          which is ignored, and a conversion code.
+
+     Unless the specification contains the `n' conversion character
+     (described below), a conversion specification directs the
+     conversion of the next input field.  The result of a conversion
+     specification is returned in the position of the corresponding
+     argument points, unless `*' indicates assignment suppression.
+     Assignment suppression provides a way to describe an input field
+     to be skipped.  An input field is defined as a string of
+     characters; it extends to the next inappropriate character or
+     until the field width, if specified, is exhausted.
+
+          *Note:* This specification of format strings differs from the
+          `ANSI C' and `POSIX' specifications.  In SLIB, white space
+          before an input field is not skipped unless white space
+          appears before the conversion specification in the format
+          string.  In order to write format strings which work
+          identically with `ANSI C' and SLIB, prepend whitespace to all
+          conversion specifications except `[' and `c'.
+
+     The conversion code indicates the interpretation of the input
+     field; For a suppressed field, no value is returned.  The
+     following conversion codes are legal:
+
+    `%'
+          A single % is expected in the input at this point; no value
+          is returned.
+
+    `d', `D'
+          A decimal integer is expected.
+
+    `u', `U'
+          An unsigned decimal integer is expected.
+
+    `o', `O'
+          An octal integer is expected.
+
+    `x', `X'
+          A hexadecimal integer is expected.
+
+    `i'
+          An integer is expected.  Returns the value of the next input
+          item, interpreted according to C conventions; a leading `0'
+          implies octal, a leading `0x' implies hexadecimal; otherwise,
+          decimal is assumed.
+
+    `n'
+          Returns the total number of bytes (including white space)
+          read by `scanf'.  No input is consumed by `%n'.
+
+    `f', `F', `e', `E', `g', `G'
+          A floating-point number is expected.  The input format for
+          floating-point numbers is an optionally signed string of
+          digits, possibly containing a radix character `.', followed
+          by an optional exponent field consisting of an `E' or an `e',
+          followed by an optional `+', `-', or space, followed by an
+          integer.
+
+    `c', `C'
+          WIDTH characters are expected.  The normal
+          skip-over-white-space is suppressed in this case; to read the
+          next non-space character, use `%1s'.  If a field width is
+          given, a string is returned; up to the indicated number of
+          characters is read.
+
+    `s', `S'
+          A character string is expected The input field is terminated
+          by a white-space character.  `scanf' cannot read a null
+          string.
+
+    `['
+          Indicates string data and the normal
+          skip-over-leading-white-space is suppressed.  The left
+          bracket is followed by a set of characters, called the
+          scanset, and a right bracket; the input field is the maximal
+          sequence of input characters consisting entirely of
+          characters in the scanset.  `^', when it appears as the first
+          character in the scanset, serves as a complement operator and
+          redefines the scanset as the set of all characters not
+          contained in the remainder of the scanset string.
+          Construction of the scanset follows certain conventions.  A
+          range of characters may be represented by the construct
+          first-last, enabling `[0123456789]' to be expressed `[0-9]'.
+          Using this convention, first must be lexically less than or
+          equal to last; otherwise, the dash stands for itself.  The
+          dash also stands for itself when it is the first or the last
+          character in the scanset.  To include the right square
+          bracket as an element of the scanset, it must appear as the
+          first character (possibly preceded by a `^') of the scanset,
+          in which case it will not be interpreted syntactically as the
+          closing bracket.  At least one character must match for this
+          conversion to succeed.
+
+     The `scanf' functions terminate their conversions at end-of-file,
+     at the end of the control string, or when an input character
+     conflicts with the control string.  In the latter case, the
+     offending character is left unread in the input stream.

+Getopt
+------
+
+  `(require 'getopt)'
+
+  This routine implements Posix command line argument parsing.  Notice
+that returning values through global variables means that `getopt' is
+*not* reentrant.
+
+ - Variable: *optind*
+     Is the index of the current element of the command line.  It is
+     initially one.  In order to parse a new command line or reparse an
+     old one, *OPTING* must be reset.
+
+ - Variable: *optarg*
+     Is set by getopt to the (string) option-argument of the current
+     option.
+
+ - Procedure: getopt ARGC ARGV OPTSTRING
+     Returns the next option letter in ARGV (starting from `(vector-ref
+     argv *optind*)') that matches a letter in OPTSTRING.  ARGV is a
+     vector or list of strings, the 0th of which getopt usually
+     ignores. ARGC is the argument count, usually the length of ARGV.
+     OPTSTRING is a string of recognized option characters; if a
+     character is followed by a colon, the option takes an argument
+     which may be immediately following it in the string or in the next
+     element of ARGV.
+
+     *OPTIND* is the index of the next element of the ARGV vector to be
+     processed.  It is initialized to 1 by `getopt.scm', and `getopt'
+     updates it when it finishes with each element of ARGV.
+
+     `getopt' returns the next option character from ARGV that matches
+     a character in OPTSTRING, if there is one that matches.  If the
+     option takes an argument, `getopt' sets the variable *OPTARG* to
+     the option-argument as follows:
+
+        * If the option was the last character in the string pointed to
+          by an element of ARGV, then *OPTARG* contains the next
+          element of ARGV, and *OPTIND* is incremented by 2.  If the
+          resulting value of *OPTIND* is greater than or equal to ARGC,
+          this indicates a missing option argument, and `getopt'
+          returns an error indication.
+
+        * Otherwise, *OPTARG* is set to the string following the option
+          character in that element of ARGV, and *OPTIND* is
+          incremented by 1.
+
+     If, when `getopt' is called, the string `(vector-ref argv
+     *optind*)' either does not begin with the character `#\-' or is
+     just `"-"', `getopt' returns `#f' without changing *OPTIND*.  If
+     `(vector-ref argv *optind*)' is the string `"--"', `getopt'
+     returns `#f' after incrementing *OPTIND*.
+
+     If `getopt' encounters an option character that is not contained in
+     OPTSTRING, it returns the question-mark `#\?' character.  If it
+     detects a missing option argument, it returns the colon character
+     `#\:' if the first character of OPTSTRING was a colon, or a
+     question-mark character otherwise.  In either case, `getopt' sets
+     the variable GETOPT:OPT to the option character that caused the
+     error.
+
+     The special option `"--"' can be used to delimit the end of the
+     options; `#f' is returned, and `"--"' is skipped.
+
+     RETURN VALUE
+
+     `getopt' returns the next option character specified on the command
+     line.  A colon `#\:' is returned if `getopt' detects a missing
+     argument and the first character of OPTSTRING was a colon `#\:'.
+
+     A question-mark `#\?' is returned if `getopt' encounters an option
+     character not in OPTSTRING or detects a missing argument and the
+     first character of OPTSTRING was not a colon `#\:'.
+
+     Otherwise, `getopt' returns `#f' when all command line options
+     have been parsed.
+
+     Example:
+          #! /usr/local/bin/scm
+          ;;;This code is SCM specific.
+          (define argv (program-arguments))
+          (require 'getopt)

+          (let loop ((opt (getopt (length argv) argv opts)))
+            (case opt
+              ((#\a) (print "option a: " *optarg*))
+              ((#\b) (print "option b: " *optarg*))
+              ((#\c) (print "option c"))
+              ((#\d) (print "option d"))
+              ((#\?) (print "error" getopt:opt))

+                    (set! *optind* (+ *optind* 1))))

+Getopt-
+-------
+
+ - Function: getopt- ARGC ARGV OPTSTRING
+     The procedure `getopt--' is an extended version of `getopt' which
+     parses "long option names" of the form `--hold-the-onions' and
+     `--verbosity-level=extreme'.  `Getopt--' behaves as `getopt'
+     except for non-empty options beginning with `--'.
+
+     Options beginning with `--' are returned as strings rather than
+     characters.  If a value is assigned (using `=') to a long option,
+     `*optarg*' is set to the value.  The `=' and value are not
+     returned as part of the option string.
+
+     No information is passed to `getopt--' concerning which long
+     options should be accepted or whether such options can take
+     arguments.  If a long option did not have an argument, `*optarg'
+     will be set to `#f'.  The caller is responsible for detecting and
+     reporting errors.

+Command Line
+------------
+
+  `(require 'read-command)'
+
+ - Function: read-command PORT
+ - Function: read-command
+     `read-command' converts a "command line" into a list of strings
+     suitable for parsing by `getopt'.  The syntax of command lines
+     supported resembles that of popular "shell"s.  `read-command'
+     updates PORT to point to the first character past the command
+     delimiter.
+
+     If an end of file is encountered in the input before any
+     characters are found that can begin an object or comment, then an
+     end of file object is returned.
+
+     The PORT argument may be omitted, in which case it defaults to the
+     value returned by `current-input-port'.
+
+     The fields into which the command line is split are delimited by
+     whitespace as defined by `char-whitespace?'.  The end of a command
+     is delimited by end-of-file or unescaped semicolon (<;>) or
+     <newline>.  Any character can be literally included in a field by
+     escaping it with a backslach (<\>).
+
+     The initial character and types of fields recognized are:
+    `\'
+          The next character has is taken literally and not interpreted
+          as a field delimiter.  If <\> is the last character before a
+          <newline>, that <newline> is just ignored.  Processing
+          continues from the characters after the <newline> as though
+          the backslash and <newline> were not there.
+
+    `"'
+          The characters up to the next unescaped <"> are taken
+          literally, according to [R4RS] rules for literal strings
+          (*note Strings: (r4rs)Strings.).
+
+    `(', `%''
+          One scheme expression is `read' starting with this character.
+          The `read' expression is evaluated, converted to a string
+          (using `display'), and replaces the expression in the returned
+          field.
+
+    `;'
+          Semicolon delimits a command.  Using semicolons more than one
+          command can appear on a line.  Escaped semicolons and
+          semicolons inside strings do not delimit commands.
+
+     The comment field differs from the previous fields in that it must
+     be the first character of a command or appear after whitespace in
+     order to be recognized.  <#> can be part of fields if these
+     conditions are not met.  For instance, `ab#c' is just the field
+     ab#c.
+
+    `#'
+          Introduces a comment.  The comment continues to the end of
+          the line on which the semicolon appears.  Comments are
+          treated as whitespace by `read-dommand-line' and backslashes
+          before <newline>s in comments are also ignored.
+
+ - Function: read-options-file FILENAME
+     `read-options-file' converts an "options file" into a list of
+     strings suitable for parsing by `getopt'.  The syntax of options
+     files is the same as the syntax for command lines, except that
+     <newline>s do not terminate reading (only <;> or end of file).
+
+     If an end of file is encountered before any characters are found
+     that can begin an object or comment, then an end of file object is
+     returned.

+Parameter lists
+---------------
+
+  `(require 'parameters)'
+
+Arguments to procedures in scheme are distinguished from each other by
+their position in the procedure call.  This can be confusing when a
+procedure takes many arguments, many of which are not often used.
+
+A "parameter-list" is a way of passing named information to a
+procedure.  Procedures are also defined to set unused parameters to
+default values, check parameters, and combine parameter lists.
+
+A PARAMETER has the form `(parameter-name value1 ...)'.  This format
+allows for more than one value per parameter-name.
+
+A PARAMETER-LIST is a list of PARAMETERs, each with a different
+PARAMETER-NAME.
+
+ - Function: make-parameter-list PARAMETER-NAMES
+     Returns an empty parameter-list with slots for PARAMETER-NAMES.
+
+ - Function: parameter-list-ref PARAMETER-LIST PARAMETER-NAME
+     PARAMETER-NAME must name a valid slot of PARAMETER-LIST.
+     `parameter-list-ref' returns the value of parameter PARAMETER-NAME
+     of PARAMETER-LIST.
+
+ - Procedure: adjoin-parameters! PARAMETER-LIST PARAMETER1 ...
+     Returns PARAMETER-LIST with PARAMETER1 ... merged in.
+
+ - Procedure: parameter-list-expand EXPANDERS PARAMETER-LIST
+     EXPANDERS is a list of procedures whose order matches the order of
+     the PARAMETER-NAMEs in the call to `make-parameter-list' which
+     created PARAMETER-LIST.  For each non-false element of EXPANDERS
+     that procedure is mapped over the corresponding parameter value
+     and the returned parameter lists are merged into PARAMETER-LIST.
+
+     This process is repeated until PARAMETER-LIST stops growing.  The
+     value returned from `parameter-list-expand' is unspecified.
+
+ - Function: fill-empty-parameters DEFAULTERS PARAMETER-LIST
+     DEFAULTERS is a list of procedures whose order matches the order
+     of the PARAMETER-NAMEs in the call to `make-parameter-list' which
+     created PARAMETER-LIST.  `fill-empty-parameters' returns a new
+     parameter-list with each empty parameter replaced with the list
+     returned by calling the corresponding DEFAULTER with
+     PARAMETER-LIST as its argument.
+
+ - Function: check-parameters CHECKS PARAMETER-LIST
+     CHECKS is a list of procedures whose order matches the order of
+     the PARAMETER-NAMEs in the call to `make-parameter-list' which
+     created PARAMETER-LIST.
+
+     `check-parameters' returns PARAMETER-LIST if each CHECK of the
+     corresponding PARAMETER-LIST returns non-false.  If some CHECK
+     returns `#f' an error is signaled.
+
+In the following procedures ARITIES is a list of symbols.  The elements
+of `arities' can be:
+
+`single'
+     Requires a single parameter.
+
+`optional'
+     A single parameter or no parameter is acceptable.
+
+`boolean'
+     A single boolean parameter or zero parameters is acceptable.
+
+`nary'
+     Any number of parameters are acceptable.
+
+`nary1'
+     One or more of parameters are acceptable.
+
+ - Function: parameter-list->arglist POSITIONS ARITIES TYPES
+          PARAMETER-LIST
+     Returns PARAMETER-LIST converted to an argument list.  Parameters
+     of ARITY type `single' and `boolean' are converted to the single
+     value associated with them.  The other ARITY types are converted
+     to lists of the value(s) of type TYPES.
+
+     POSITIONS is a list of positive integers whose order matches the
+     order of the PARAMETER-NAMEs in the call to `make-parameter-list'
+     which created PARAMETER-LIST.  The integers specify in which
+     argument position the corresponding parameter should appear.

+

+          ALIASES
+     Returns ARGV converted to a parameter-list.  OPTNAMES are the
+     parameter-names.  ALIASES is a list of lists of strings and
+     elements of OPTNAMES.  Each of these strings which have length of
+     1 will be treated as a single <-> option by `getopt'.  Longer
+     strings will be treated as long-named options (*note getopt-:
+     Getopt.).
+
+ - Function: getopt->arglist ARGC ARGV OPTNAMES POSITIONS ARITIES TYPES

+These `getopt' functions can be used with SLIB relational databases.

+
+ - Function: filename:match?? PATTERN
+ - Function: filename:match-ci?? PATTERN
+     Returns a predicate which returns a non-false value if its string
+     argument matches (the string) PATTERN, false otherwise.  Filename
+     matching is like "glob" expansion described the bash manpage,
+     except that names beginning with `.' are matched and `/'
+     characters are not treated specially.
+
+     These functions interpret the following characters specially in
+     PATTERN strings:
+    `*'
+          Matches any string, including the null string.
+
+    `?'
+          Matches any single character.
+
+    `[...]'
+          Matches any one of the enclosed characters.  A pair of
+          characters separated by a minus sign (-) denotes a range; any
+          character lexically between those two characters, inclusive,
+          is matched.  If the first character following the `[' is a
+          `!' or a `^' then any character not enclosed is matched.  A
+          `-' or `]' may be matched by including it as the first or

+
+
+ - Function: filename:substitute?? PATTERN TEMPLATE
+ - Function: filename:substitute-ci?? PATTERN TEMPLATE
+     Returns a function transforming a single string argument according
+     to glob patterns PATTERN and TEMPLATE.  PATTERN and TEMPLATE must
+     have the same number of wildcard specifications, which need not be
+     identical.  PATTERN and TEMPLATE may have a different number of
+     literal sections. If an argument to the function matches PATTERN
+     in the sense of `filename:match??' then it returns a copy of
+     TEMPLATE in which each wildcard specification is replaced by the
+     part of the argument matched by the corresponding wildcard
+     specification in PATTERN.  A `*' wildcard matches the longest
+     leftmost string possible.  If the argument does not match PATTERN
+     then false is returned.
+
+     TEMPLATE may be a function accepting the same number of string
+     arguments as there are wildcard specifications in PATTERN.  In the
+     case of a match the result of applying TEMPLATE to a list of the
+     substrings matched by wildcard specifications will be returned,

+Batch
+-----
+
+  `(require 'batch)'
+
+The batch procedures provide a way to write and execute portable scripts
+for a variety of operating systems.  Each `batch:' procedure takes as
+its first argument a parameter-list (*note Parameter lists::.).  This
+parameter-list argument PARMS contains named associations.  Batch
+currently uses 2 of these:
+
+`batch-port'
+     The port on which to write lines of the batch file.
+
+`batch-dialect'
+     The syntax of batch file to generate.  Currently supported are:
+        * unix
+
+        * dos
+
+        * vms
+
+        * amigados
+
+        * system
+
+        * *unknown*
+
+`batch.scm' uses 2 enhanced relational tables (*note Database
+Utilities::.) to store information linking the names of
+`operating-system's to `batch-dialect'es.
+
+ - Function: batch:initialize! DATABASE
+     Defines `operating-system' and `batch-dialect' tables and adds the
+     domain `operating-system' to the enhanced relational database
+     DATABASE.
+
+ - Variable: batch:platform
+     Is batch's best guess as to which operating-system it is running
+     under.  `batch:platform' is set to `(software-type)' (*note
+     Configuration::.) unless `(software-type)' is `unix', in which
+     case finer distinctions are made.
+
+ - Function: batch:call-with-output-script PARMS FILE PROC
+     PROC should be a procedure of one argument.  If FILE is an
+     output-port, `batch:call-with-output-script' writes an appropriate
+     header to FILE and then calls PROC with FILE as the only argument.
+     If FILE is a string, `batch:call-with-output-script' opens a
+     output-file of name FILE, writes an appropriate header to FILE,
+     and then calls PROC with the newly opened port as the only
+     argument.  Otherwise, `batch:call-with-output-script' acts as if
+     it was called with the result of `(current-output-port)' as its
+     third argument.
+                                                                              |
+The rest of the `batch:' procedures write (or execute if
+`batch-dialect' is `system') commands to the batch port which has been
+added to PARMS or `(copy-tree PARMS)' by the code:
+
+     (adjoin-parameters! PARMS (list 'batch-port PORT))
+
+ - Function: batch:command PARMS STRING1 STRING2 ...                          |
+     Calls `batch:try-command' (below) with arguments, but signals an         |
+     error if `batch:try-command' returns `#f'.                               |
+
+These functions return a non-false value if the command was successfully
+translated into the batch dialect and `#f' if not.  In the case of the
+`system' dialect, the value is non-false if the operation suceeded.
+
+ - Function: batch:try-command PARMS STRING1 STRING2 ...                      |
+     Writes a command to the `batch-port' in PARMS which executes the
+     program named STRING1 with arguments STRING2 ....
+
+ - Function: batch:try-chopped-command PARMS ARG1 ARG2 ... LIST               |
+     breaks the last argument LIST into chunks small enough so that the       |
+     command:                                                                 |
+                                                                              |
+          ARG1 ARG2 ... CHUNK                                                 |
+                                                                              |
+     fits withing the platform's maximum command-line length.                 |
+                                                                              |
+     `batch:try-chopped-command' calls `batch:try-command' with the           |
+     command and returns non-false only if the commands all fit and           |
+     `batch:try-command' of each command line returned non-false.             |
+                                                                              |
+ - Function: batch:run-script PARMS STRING1 STRING2 ...
+     Writes a command to the `batch-port' in PARMS which executes the
+     batch script named STRING1 with arguments STRING2 ....
+
+     *Note:* `batch:run-script' and `batch:try-command' are not the           |
+     same for some operating systems (VMS).                                   |
+
+ - Function: batch:comment PARMS LINE1 ...
+     Writes comment lines LINE1 ... to the `batch-port' in PARMS.
+
+ - Function: batch:lines->file PARMS FILE LINE1 ...
+     Writes commands to the `batch-port' in PARMS which create a file
+     named FILE with contents LINE1 ....
+
+ - Function: batch:delete-file PARMS FILE
+     Writes a command to the `batch-port' in PARMS which deletes the
+     file named FILE.
+
+ - Function: batch:rename-file PARMS OLD-NAME NEW-NAME
+     Writes a command to the `batch-port' in PARMS which renames the
+     file OLD-NAME to NEW-NAME.
+
+In addition, batch provides some small utilities very useful for writing
+scripts:
+
+ - Function: truncate-up-to PATH CHAR
+ - Function: truncate-up-to PATH STRING
+ - Function: truncate-up-to PATH CHARLIST
+     PATH can be a string or a list of strings.  Returns PATH sans any
+     prefixes ending with a character of the second argument.  This can
+     be used to derive a filename moved locally from elsewhere.
+
+          (truncate-up-to "/usr/local/lib/slib/batch.scm" "/")
+          => "batch.scm"
+
+ - Function: string-join JOINER STRING1 ...
+     Returns a new string consisting of all the strings STRING1 ...  in
+     order appended together with the string JOINER between each
+     adjacent pair.
+
+ - Function: must-be-first LIST1 LIST2
+     Returns a new list consisting of the elements of LIST2 ordered so
+     that if some elements of LIST1 are `equal?' to elements of LIST2,
+     then those elements will appear first and in the order of LIST1.
+
+ - Function: must-be-last LIST1 LIST2
+     Returns a new list consisting of the elements of LIST1 ordered so
+     that if some elements of LIST2 are `equal?' to elements of LIST1,
+     then those elements will appear last and in the order of LIST2.
+
+ - Function: os->batch-dialect OSNAME
+     Returns its best guess for the `batch-dialect' to be used for the
+     operating-system named OSNAME.  `os->batch-dialect' uses the
+     tables added to DATABASE by `batch:initialize!'.
+
+Here is an example of the use of most of batch's procedures:

+HTML Forms
+==========
+
+  `(require 'html-form)'
+
+ - Variable: *html:output-port*
+     Procedure names starting with `html:' send their output to the
+     port *HTML:OUTPUT-PORT*.  *HTML:OUTPUT-PORT* is initially the
+     current output port.
+
+ - Function: make-atval TXT
+     Returns a string with character substitutions appropriate to send
+     TXT as an "attribute-value".
+
+ - Function: make-plain TXT
+     Returns a string with character substitutions appropriate to send
+     TXT as an "plain-text".
+
+ - Function: html:start-page TITLE BACKLINK TAGS ...
+ - Function: html:start-page TITLE BACKLINK
+ - Function: html:start-page TITLE
+     Outputs headers for an HTML page named TITLE.  If string arguments
+     BACKLINK ... are supplied they are printed verbatim within the
+     <HEAD> section.
+
+ - Function: html:end-page
+     Outputs HTML codes to end a page.
+
+ - Function: html:pre LINE1 LINE ...
+     Writes (using `html:printf') the strings LINE1, LINES as
+     "PRE"formmated plain text (rendered in fixed-width font).
+     Newlines are inserted between LINE1, LINES.  HTML tags (`<tag>')
+     within LINES will be visible verbatim.
+
+ - Function: html:comment LINE1 LINE ...
+     Writes (using `html:printf') the strings LINE1 as HTML comments.
+
+HTML Tables
+===========
+
+ - Function: html:start-table CAPTION
+
+ - Function: html:end-table
+
+ - Function: html:heading COLUMNS
+     Outputs a heading row for the currently-started table.
+
+ - Function: html:href-heading COLUMNS URLS
+     Outputs a heading row with column-names COLUMNS linked to URLs
+     URLS.
+
+ - Function: make-row-converter K FOREIGNS
+     The positive integer K is the primary-key-limit (number of
+     primary-keys) of the table.  FOREIGNS is a list of the filenames of
+     foreign-key field pages and #f for non foreign-key fields.
+
+     `make-row-converter' returns a procedure taking a row for its
+     single argument.  This returned procedure prints the table row to
+     *HTML:OUTPUT-PORT*.
+
+ - Function: table-name->filename TABLE-NAME
+     Returns the symbol TABLE-NAME converted to a filename.
+
+ - Function: table->html CAPTION DB TABLE-NAME MATCH-KEY1 ...
+     Writes HTML for DB table TABLE-NAME to *HTML:OUTPUT-PORT*.
+
+     The optional MATCH-KEY1 ... arguments restrict actions to a subset
+     of the table.  *Note match-key: Table Operations.
+
+ - Function: table->page DB TABLE-NAME INDEX-FILENAME
+     Writes a complete HTML page to *HTML:OUTPUT-PORT*.  The string
+     INDEX-FILENAME names the page which refers to this one.
+
+ - Function: catalog->html DB CAPTION
+     Writes HTML for the catalog table of DB to *HTML:OUTPUT-PORT*.
+
+ - Function: catalog->page DB CAPTION
+     Writes a complete HTML page for the catalog of DB to
+     *HTML:OUTPUT-PORT*.
+
+HTML Forms
+==========
+
+ - Function: html:start-form METHOD ACTION
+     The symbol METHOD is either `get', `head', `post', `put', or
+     `delete'.  `html:start-form' prints the header for an HTML "form".
+
+ - Function: html:end-form PNAME SUBMIT-LABEL
+     `html:end-form' prints the footer for an HTML "form".  The string
+     SUBMIT-LABEL appears on the button which submits the form.
+
+ - Function: command->html RDB COMMAND-TABLE COMMAND METHOD ACTION
+     The symbol COMMAND-TABLE names a command table in the RDB
+     relational database.
+
+     `command->html' writes an HTML-2.0 "form" for command COMMAND to
+     the current-output-port.  The `SUBMIT' button, which is labeled
+     COMMAND, invokes the URI ACTION with method METHOD with a hidden
+     attribute `*command*' bound to the command symbol submitted.
+
+     An action may invoke a CGI script
+     (`http://www.my-site.edu/cgi-bin/search.cgi') or HTTP daemon
+     (`http://www.my-site.edu:8001').
+
+     This example demonstrates how to create a HTML-form for the `build'
+     command.
+
+          (require (in-vicinity (implementation-vicinity) "build.scm"))
+          (call-with-output-file "buildscm.html"

+
+HTTP and CGI service
+====================
+
+  `(require 'html-form)'
+
+ - Function: cgi:serve-command RDB COMMAND-TABLE
+     Reads a `"POST"' or `"GET"' query from `(current-input-port)' and
+     executes the encoded command from COMMAND-TABLE in
+     relational-database RDB.
+
+     This example puts up a plain-text page in response to a CGI query.
+
+          (display "Content-Type: text/plain") (newline) (newline)
+          (require 'html-form)
+          (load (in-vicinity (implementation-vicinity) "build.scm"))
+          (cgi:serve-command build '*commands*)
+
+ - Function: serve-urlencoded-command RDB COMMAND-TABLE URLENCODED
+     Reads attribute-value pairs from URLENCODED, converts them to
+     parameters and invokes the RDB command named by the parameter
+     `*command*'.
+
+ - Function: http:serve-query INPUT-PORT OUTPUT-PORT SERVE-PROC
+     reads the "query-string" from INPUT-PORT.  If this is a valid
+     `"POST"' or `"GET"' query, then `http:serve-query' calls
+     SERVE-PROC with two arguments, the query-string and the
+     header-alist.
+
+     Otherwise, `http:serve-query' replies (to OUTPUT-PORT) with
+     appropriate HTML describing the problem.
+
+  This example services HTTP queries from port 8081:
+
+     (define socket (make-stream-socket AF_INET 0))
+     (socket:bind socket 8081)
+     (socket:listen socket 10)
+     (dynamic-wind

+               (http:serve-query
+                port port
+                (lambda (query-string header)

+                       build '*commands* query-string)))))))
+           (lambda () (close-port port)))))
+      (lambda () (close-port socket)))
+
+ - Function: http:read-request-line PORT
+     Reads the first non-blank line from PORT and, if successful,
+     returns a list of three itmes from the request-line:
+
+       0. Method
+
+          Either one of the symbols `options', `get', `head', `post',
+          `put', `delete', or `trace'; Or a string.
+
+       1. Request-URI
+
+          A string.  At the minimum, it will be the string `"/"'.
+
+       2. HTTP-Version
+
+          A string.  For example, `HTTP/1.0'.
+
+ - Function: cgi:read-query-string
+     Reads the "query-string" from `(current-input-port)'.
+     `cgi:read-query-string' reads a `"POST"' or `"GET"' queries,
+     depending on the value of `(getenv "REQUEST_METHOD")'.

+Generic-Write
+-------------
+
+  `(require 'generic-write)'
+
+  `generic-write' is a procedure that transforms a Scheme data value
+(or Scheme program expression) into its textual representation and
+prints it.  The interface to the procedure is sufficiently general to
+easily implement other useful formatting procedures such as pretty
+printing, output to a string and truncated output.
+
+ - Procedure: generic-write OBJ DISPLAY? WIDTH OUTPUT
+    OBJ
+          Scheme data value to transform.
+
+    DISPLAY?
+          Boolean, controls whether characters and strings are quoted.
+
+    WIDTH
+          Extended boolean, selects format:
+         #f
+               single line format
+
+         integer > 0
+               pretty-print (value = max nb of chars per line)
+
+    OUTPUT
+          Procedure of 1 argument of string type, called repeatedly with
+          successive substrings of the textual representation.  This
+          procedure can return `#f' to stop the transformation.
+
+     The value returned by `generic-write' is undefined.
+
+     Examples:
+          (write obj) == (generic-write obj #f #f DISPLAY-STRING)
+          (display obj) == (generic-write obj #t #f DISPLAY-STRING)
+
+     where
+          DISPLAY-STRING ==
+          (lambda (s) (for-each write-char (string->list s)) #t)

+
+Object-To-String
+----------------
+
+  `(require 'object->string)'
+
+ - Function: object->string OBJ
+     Returns the textual representation of OBJ as a string.
+
+ - Function: object->limited-string OBJ LIMIT
+     Returns the textual representation of OBJ as a string of length at
+     most LIMIT.

+Pretty-Print
+------------
+
+  `(require 'pretty-print)'
+
+ - Procedure: pretty-print OBJ
+ - Procedure: pretty-print OBJ PORT
+     `pretty-print's OBJ on PORT.  If PORT is not specified,
+     `current-output-port' is used.
+
+     Example:
+          (pretty-print '((1 2 3 4 5) (6 7 8 9 10) (11 12 13 14 15)
+                          (16 17 18 19 20) (21 22 23 24 25)))
+             -| ((1 2 3 4 5)
+             -|  (6 7 8 9 10)
+             -|  (11 12 13 14 15)
+             -|  (16 17 18 19 20)
+             -|  (21 22 23 24 25))
+
+  `(require 'pprint-file)'
+
+ - Procedure: pprint-file INFILE
+ - Procedure: pprint-file INFILE OUTFILE
+     Pretty-prints all the code in INFILE.  If OUTFILE is specified,
+     the output goes to OUTFILE, otherwise it goes to
+     `(current-output-port)'.
+
+ - Function: pprint-filter-file INFILE PROC OUTFILE
+ - Function: pprint-filter-file INFILE PROC
+     INFILE is a port or a string naming an existing file.  Scheme
+     source code expressions and definitions are read from the port (or
+     file) and PROC is applied to them sequentially.
+
+     OUTFILE is a port or a string.  If no OUTFILE is specified then
+     `current-output-port' is assumed.  These expanded expressions are
+     then `pretty-print'ed to this port.
+
+     Whitepsace and comments (introduced by `;') which are not part of
+     scheme expressions are reproduced in the output.  This procedure
+     does not affect the values returned by `current-input-port' and
+     `current-output-port'.
+
+  `pprint-filter-file' can be used to pre-compile macro-expansion and
+thus can reduce loading time.  The following will write into
+`exp-code.scm' the result of expanding all defmacros in `code.scm'.
+     (require 'pprint-file)

+The procedures `current-time', `difftime', and `offset-time' deal with

+Time Zone
+---------
+
+  (require 'time-zone)
+
+ - Data Format: TZ-string
+     POSIX standards specify several formats for encoding time-zone
+     rules.
+
+    :<pathname>
+          If the first character of <pathname> is `/', then <pathname>
+          specifies the absolute pathname of a tzfile(5) format
+          time-zone file.  Otherwise, <pathname> is interpreted as a
+          pathname within TZFILE:VICINITY (/usr/lib/zoneinfo/) naming a
+          tzfile(5) format time-zone file.
+
+    <std><offset>
+          The string <std> consists of 3 or more alphabetic characters.
+          <offset> specifies the time difference from GMT.  The <offset>
+          is positive if the local time zone is west of the Prime
+          Meridian and negative if it is east.  <offset> can be the
+          number of hours or hours and minutes (and optionally seconds)
+          separated by `:'.  For example, `-4:30'.
+
+    <std><offset><dst>
+          <dst> is the at least 3 alphabetic characters naming the local
+          daylight-savings-time.
+
+    <std><offset><dst><doffset>
+          <doffset> specifies the offset from the Prime Meridian when
+          daylight-savings-time is in effect.
+
+     The non-tzfile formats can optionally be followed by transition
+     times specifying the day and time when a zone changes from
+     standard to daylight-savings and back again.
+
+    ,<date>/<time>,<date>/<time>
+          The <time>s are specified like the <offset>s above, except
+          that leading `+' and `-' are not allowed.
+
+          Each <date> has one of the formats:
+
+         J<day>
+               specifies the Julian day with <day> between 1 and 365.
+               February 29 is never counted and cannot be referenced.
+
+         <day>
+               This specifies the Julian day with n between 0 and 365.
+               February 29 is counted in leap years and can be
+               specified.
+
+         M<month>.<week>.<day>
+               This specifies day <day> (0 <= <day> <= 6) of week
+               <week> (1 <= <week> <= 5) of month <month> (1 <= <month>
+               <= 12).  Week 1 is the first week in which day d occurs
+               and week 5 is the last week in which day <day> occurs.
+               Day 0 is a Sunday.
+
+
+ - Data Type: time-zone
+     is a datatype encoding how many hours from Greenwich Mean Time the
+     local time is, and the "Daylight Savings Time" rules for changing
+     it.
+
+ - Function: time-zone TZ-STRING
+     Creates and returns a time-zone object specified by the string
+     TZ-STRING.  If `time-zone' cannot interpret TZ-STRING, `#f' is
+     returned.
+
+ - Function: tz:params CALTIME TZ
+     TZ is a time-zone object.  `tz:params' returns a list of three
+     items:
+       0. An integer.  0 if standard time is in effect for timezone TZ
+          at CALTIME; 1 if daylight savings time is in effect for
+          timezone TZ at CALTIME.
+
+       1. The number of seconds west of the Prime Meridian timezone TZ
+          is at CALTIME.
+
+       2. The name for timezone TZ at CALTIME.
+
+     `tz:params' is unaffected by the default timezone; inquiries can be
+     made of any timezone at any calendar time.
+
+
+The rest of these procedures and variables are provided for POSIX
+compatability.  Because of shared state they are not thread-safe.
+
+ - Function: tzset
+     Returns the default time-zone.
+
+ - Function: tzset TZ
+     Sets (and returns) the default time-zone to TZ.
+
+ - Function: tzset TZ-STRING
+     Sets (and returns) the default time-zone to that specified by
+     TZ-STRING.
+
+     `tzset' also sets the variables *TIMEZONE*, DAYLIGHT?, and TZNAME.
+     This function is automatically called by the time conversion
+     procedures which depend on the time zone (*note Time and Date::.).
+
+ - Variable: *timezone*
+     Contains the difference, in seconds, between Greenwich Mean Time
+     and local standard time (for example, in the U.S.  Eastern time
+     zone (EST), timezone is 5*60*60).  `*timezone*' is initialized by
+     `tzset'.
+
+ - Variable: daylight?
+     is `#t' if the default timezone has rules for "Daylight Savings
+     Time".  *Note:* DAYLIGHT? does not tell you when Daylight Savings
+     Time is in effect, just that the default zone sometimes has
+     Daylight Savings Time.
+
+ - Variable: tzname
+     is a vector of strings.  Index 0 has the abbreviation for the
+     standard timezone; If DAYLIGHT?, then index 1 has the abbreviation
+     for the Daylight Savings timezone.

+     Returns CALTIME converted to UTC relative to timezone TZ.
+
+ - Function: localtime CALTIME
+     converts the calendar time CALTIME to a vector of integers
+     expressed relative to the user's time zone.  `localtime' sets the

+     tzset: Time Zone.).
+
+
+ - Function: gmktime UNIVTIME

+----------------
+
+ - Function: get-decoded-time
+     Equivalent to `(decode-universal-time (get-universal-time))'.
+
+ - Function: get-universal-time
+     Returns the current time as "Universal Time", number of seconds
+     since 00:00:00 Jan 1, 1900 GMT.  Note that the reference time is
+     different from `current-time'.
+
+ - Function: decode-universal-time UNIVTIME
+     Converts UNIVTIME to "Decoded Time" format.  Nine values are

+
+ - Function: encode-universal-time SECOND MINUTE HOUR DATE MONTH YEAR
+ - Function: encode-universal-time SECOND MINUTE HOUR DATE MONTH YEAR
+          TIME-ZONE
+     Converts the arguments in Decoded Time format to Universal Time
+     format.  If TIME-ZONE is not specified, the returned time is

+
+Schmooz
+=======
+
+  "Schmooz" is a simple, lightweight markup language for interspersing
+Texinfo documentation with Scheme source code.  Schmooz does not create
+the top level Texinfo file; it creates `txi' files which can be
+imported into the documentation using the Texinfo command `@include'.
+
+  `(require 'schmooz)' defines the function `schmooz', which is used to
+process files.  Files containing schmooz documentation should not
+contain `(require 'schmooz)'.
+
+ - Procedure: schmooz FILENAMEscm ...
+     FILENAMEscm should be a string ending with `scm' naming an
+     existing file containing Scheme source code.  `schmooz' extracts
+     top-level comments containing schmooz commands from FILENAMEscm
+     and writes the converted Texinfo source to a file named
+     FILENAMEtxi.
+
+ - Procedure: schmooz FILENAMEtexi ...
+ - Procedure: schmooz FILENAMEtex ...
+ - Procedure: schmooz FILENAMEtxi ...
+     FILENAME should be a string naming an existing file containing
+     Texinfo source code.  For every occurrence of the string `@include
+     FILENAMEtxi' within that file, `schmooz' calls itself with the
+     argument `FILENAMEscm'.
+
+  Schmooz comments are distinguished (from non-schmooz comments) by
+their first line, which must start with an at-sign (@) preceded by one
+or more semicolons (;).  A schmooz comment ends at the first subsequent
+line which does *not* start with a semicolon.  Currently schmooz
+comments are recognized only at top level.
+
+  Schmooz comments are copied to the Texinfo output file with the
+leading contiguous semicolons removed.  Certain character sequences
+starting with at-sign are treated specially.  Others are copied
+unchanged.
+
+  A schmooz comment starting with `@body' must be followed by a Scheme
+definition.  All comments between the `@body' line and the definition
+will be included in a Texinfo definition, either a `@defun' or a
+`@defvar', depending on whether a procedure or a variable is being
+defined.
+
+  Within the text of that schmooz comment, at-sign followed by `0' will
+be replaced by `@code{procedure-name}' if the following definition is
+of a procedure; or `@var{variable}' if defining a variable.
+
+  An at-sign followed by a non-zero digit will expand to the variable
+citation of that numbered argument: `@var{argument-name}'.
+
+  If more than one definition follows a `@body' comment line without an
+intervening blank or comment line, then those definitions will be
+included in the same Texinfo definition using `@defvarx' or `@defunx',
+depending on whether the first definition is of a variable or of a
+procedure.
+
+  Schmooz can figure out whether a definition is of a procedure if it
+is of the form:
+
+  `(define (<identifier> <arg> ...) <expression>)'
+
+or if the left hand side of the definition is some form ending in a
+lambda expression.  Obviously, it can be fooled.  In order to force
+recognition of a procedure definition, start the documentation with
+`@args' instead of `@body'.  `@args' should be followed by the argument
+list of the function being defined, which may be enclosed in
+parentheses and delimited by whitespace, (as in Scheme), enclosed in
+braces and separated by commas, (as in Texinfo), or consist of the
+remainder of the line, separated by whitespace.
+
+  For example:
+
+     ;;@args arg1 args ...
+     ;;@0 takes argument @1 and any number of @2
+     (define myfun (some-function-returning-magic))
+
+  Will result in:
+
+     @defun myfun arg1 args @dots{}
+     
+     @code{myfun} takes argument @var{arg1} and any number of @var{args}
+     @end defun
+
+  `@args' may also be useful for indicating optional arguments by name.
+If `@args' occurs inside a schmooz comment section, rather than at the
+beginning, then it will generate a `@defunx' line with the arguments
+supplied.
+
+  If the first at-sign in a schmooz comment is immediately followed by
+whitespace, then the comment will be expanded to whatever follows that
+whitespace.  If the at-sign is followed by a non-whitespace character
+then the at-sign will be included as the first character of the
+expansion.  This feature is intended to make it easy to include Texinfo
+directives in schmooz comments.

+Bit-Twiddling
+=============
+
+  `(require 'logical)'
+
+  The bit-twiddling functions are made available through the use of the
+`logical' package.  `logical' is loaded by inserting `(require
+'logical)' before the code that uses these functions.  These functions
+behave as though operating on integers in two's-complement
+representation.
+
+Bitwise Operations
+------------------
+
+ - Function: logand N1 N1
+     Returns the integer which is the bit-wise AND of the two integer
+     arguments.
+
+     Example:
+          (number->string (logand #b1100 #b1010) 2)
+             => "1000"
+
+ - Function: logior N1 N2
+     Returns the integer which is the bit-wise OR of the two integer
+     arguments.
+
+     Example:
+          (number->string (logior #b1100 #b1010) 2)
+             => "1110"
+
+ - Function: logxor N1 N2
+     Returns the integer which is the bit-wise XOR of the two integer
+     arguments.
+
+     Example:
+          (number->string (logxor #b1100 #b1010) 2)
+             => "110"
+
+ - Function: lognot N
+     Returns the integer which is the 2s-complement of the integer
+     argument.
+
+     Example:
+          (number->string (lognot #b10000000) 2)
+             => "-10000001"
+          (number->string (lognot #b0) 2)
+             => "-1"
+
+ - Function: bitwise-if MASK N0 N1
+     Returns an integer composed of some bits from integer N0 and some
+     from integer N1.  A bit of the result is taken from N0 if the
+     corresponding bit of integer MASK is 1 and from N1 if that bit of
+     MASK is 0.
+
+ - Function: logtest J K
+          (logtest j k) == (not (zero? (logand j k)))
+          
+          (logtest #b0100 #b1011) => #f
+          (logtest #b0100 #b0111) => #t
+
+ - Function: logcount N
+     Returns the number of bits in integer N.  If integer is positive,
+     the 1-bits in its binary representation are counted.  If negative,
+     the 0-bits in its two's-complement binary representation are
+     counted.  If 0, 0 is returned.
+
+     Example:
+          (logcount #b10101010)
+             => 4
+          (logcount 0)
+             => 0
+          (logcount -2)
+             => 1
+
+Bit Within Word
+---------------
+
+ - Function: logbit? INDEX J
+          (logbit? index j) == (logtest (integer-expt 2 index) j)
+          
+          (logbit? 0 #b1101) => #t
+          (logbit? 1 #b1101) => #f
+          (logbit? 2 #b1101) => #t
+          (logbit? 3 #b1101) => #t
+          (logbit? 4 #b1101) => #f
+
+ - Function: copy-bit INDEX FROM BIT
+     Returns an integer the same as FROM except in the INDEXth bit,
+     which is 1 if BIT is `#t' and 0 if BIT is `#f'.
+
+     Example:
+          (number->string (copy-bit 0 0 #t) 2)       => "1"
+          (number->string (copy-bit 2 0 #t) 2)       => "100"
+          (number->string (copy-bit 2 #b1111 #f) 2)  => "1011"
+
+Fields of Bits
+--------------
+
+ - Function: bit-field N START END
+     Returns the integer composed of the START (inclusive) through END
+     (exclusive) bits of N.  The STARTth bit becomes the 0-th bit in
+     the result.
+
+     This function was called `bit-extract' in previous versions of
+     SLIB.
+
+     Example:
+          (number->string (bit-field #b1101101010 0 4) 2)
+             => "1010"
+          (number->string (bit-field #b1101101010 4 9) 2)
+             => "10110"
+
+ - Function: copy-bit-field TO START END FROM
+     Returns an integer the same as TO except possibly in the START
+     (inclusive) through END (exclusive) bits, which are the same as
+     those of FROM.  The 0-th bit of FROM becomes the STARTth bit of
+     the result.
+
+     Example:
+          (number->string (copy-bit-field #b1101101010 0 4 0) 2)

+
+ - Function: extended-euclid N1 N2

+
+The rest of these functions assume normalized arguments; That is, the
+arguments are constrained by the following table:
+
+For all of these functions, if the first argument (MODULUS) is:
+`positive?'
+     Work as before.  The result is between 0 and MODULUS.
+
+`zero?'
+     The arguments are treated as integers.  An integer is returned.
+
+`negative?'
+     The arguments and result are treated as members of the integers

+
+If all the arguments are fixnums the computation will use only fixnums.

+Random Numbers
+==============
+
+  `(require 'random)'
+
+  A pseudo-random number generator is only as good as the tests it
+passes.  George Marsaglia of Florida State University developed a
+battery of tests named "DIEHARD"
+(`http://stat.fsu.edu/~geo/diehard.html').  `diehard.c' has a bug which
+the patch                                                                     |
+`http://swissnet.ai.mit.edu/ftpdir/users/jaffer/diehard.c.pat' corrects.      |
+
+  SLIB's new PRNG generates 8 bits at a time.  With the degenerate seed
+`0', the numbers generated pass DIEHARD; but when bits are combined
+from sequential bytes, tests fail.  With the seed
+`http://swissnet.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/SLIB.html', all of those tests pass.
+
+ - Function: random N
+ - Function: random N STATE
+     Accepts a positive integer or real N and returns a number of the
+     same type between zero (inclusive) and N (exclusive).  The values
+     returned by `random' are uniformly distributed from 0 to N.
+
+     The optional argument STATE must be of the type returned by
+     `(seed->random-state)' or `(make-random-state)'.  It defaults to
+     the value of the variable `*random-state*'.  This object is used
+     to maintain the state of the pseudo-random-number generator and is
+     altered as a side effect of calls to `random'.
+
+ - Variable: *random-state*
+     Holds a data structure that encodes the internal state of the
+     random-number generator that `random' uses by default.  The nature
+     of this data structure is implementation-dependent.  It may be
+     printed out and successfully read back in, but may or may not
+     function correctly as a random-number state object in another
+     implementation.
+
+ - Function: copy-random-state STATE
+     Returns a new copy of argument STATE.
+
+ - Function: copy-random-state
+     Returns a new copy of `*random-state*'.
+
+ - Function: seed->random-state SEED
+     Returns a new object of type suitable for use as the value of the
+     variable `*random-state*' or as a second argument to `random'.
+     The number or string SEED is used to initialize the state.  If
+     `seed->random-state' is called twice with arguments which are
+     `equal?', then the returned data structures will be `equal?'.
+     Calling `seed->random-state' with unequal arguments will nearly
+     always return unequal states.
+
+ - Function: make-random-state
+ - Function: make-random-state OBJ
+     Returns a new object of type suitable for use as the value of the
+     variable `*random-state*' or as a second argument to `random'.  If
+     the optional argument OBJ is given, it should be a printable
+     Scheme object; the first 50 characters of its printed
+     representation will be used as the seed.  Otherwise the value of
+     `*random-state*' is used as the seed.
+
+  If inexact numbers are supported by the Scheme implementation,
+`randinex.scm' will be loaded as well.  `randinex.scm' contains
+procedures for generating inexact distributions.
+
+ - Function: random:uniform
+ - Function: random:uniform STATE
+     Returns an uniformly distributed inexact real random number in the

+
+ - Function: random:exp
+ - Function: random:exp STATE
+     Returns an inexact real in an exponential distribution with mean
+     1.  For an exponential distribution with mean U use
+     `(* U (random:exp))'.
+
+ - Function: random:normal
+ - Function: random:normal STATE
+     Returns an inexact real in a normal distribution with mean 0 and
+     standard deviation 1.  For a normal distribution with mean M and
+     standard deviation D use `(+ M (* D (random:normal)))'.
+
+ - Function: random:normal-vector! VECT
+ - Function: random:normal-vector! VECT STATE
+     Fills VECT with inexact real random numbers which are independent
+     and standard normally distributed (i.e., with mean 0 and variance
+     1).
+
+ - Function: random:hollow-sphere! VECT
+ - Function: random:hollow-sphere! VECT STATE
+     Fills VECT with inexact real random numbers the sum of whose
+     squares is less than 1.0.  Thinking of VECT as coordinates in
+     space of dimension N = `(vector-length VECT)', the coordinates are
+     uniformly distributed within the unit N-shere.  The sum of the
+     squares of the numbers is returned.
+
+ - Function: random:solid-sphere! VECT
+ - Function: random:solid-sphere! VECT STATE
+     Fills VECT with inexact real random numbers the sum of whose
+     squares is equal to 1.0.  Thinking of VECT as coordinates in space
+     of dimension n = `(vector-length VECT)', the coordinates are
+     uniformly distributed over the surface of the unit n-shere.

+ - Function: make-port-crc
+ - Function: make-port-crc DEGREE
+ - Function: make-port-crc DEGREE GENERATOR
+     Returns an expression for a procedure of one argument, a port.
+     This procedure reads characters from the port until the end of
+     file and returns the integer checksum of the bytes read.
+
+     The integer DEGREE, if given, specifies the degree of the
+     polynomial being computed - which is also the number of bits
+     computed in the checksums.  The default value is 32.
+
+     The integer GENERATOR specifies the polynomial being computed.
+     The power of 2 generating each 1 bit is the exponent of a term of
+     the polynomial.  The bit at position DEGREE is implicit and should
+     not be part of GENERATOR.  This allows systems with numbers
+     limited to 32 bits to calculate 32 bit checksums.  The default

+     second derivative DDF/DZ^2, initial complex value Z0, and positive
+     real number PREC, returns a complex number Z for which
+     `magnitude'(F(Z)) is less than PREC; or returns `#f' if such a
+     number can't be found.
+
+     If PREC is instead a negative integer,

+     Given a real valued procedure F and two real valued starting

+
+     If PREC is a procedure it should accept 5 arguments: X0 F0 X1 F1
+     and COUNT, where F0 will be `(f x0)', F1 `(f x1)', and COUNT the

+Commutative Rings
+=================
+
+  Scheme provides a consistent and capable set of numeric functions.
+Inexacts implement a field; integers a commutative ring (and Euclidean
+domain).  This package allows one to use basic Scheme numeric functions
+with symbols and non-numeric elements of commutative rings.
+
+  `(require 'commutative-ring)'
+
+  The "commutative-ring" package makes the procedures `+', `-', `*',
+`/', and `^' "careful" in the sense that any non-numeric arguments they
+do not reduce appear in the expression output.  In order to see what
+working with this package is like, self-set all the single letter
+identifiers (to their corresponding symbols).
+
+     (define a 'a)
+     ...
+     (define z 'z)
+
+  Or just `(require 'self-set)'.  Now try some sample expressions:
+
+     (+ (+ a b) (- a b)) => (* a 2)
+     (* (+ a b) (+ a b)) => (^ (+ a b) 2)
+     (* (+ a b) (- a b)) => (* (+ a b) (- a b))
+     (* (- a b) (- a b)) => (^ (- a b) 2)
+     (* (- a b) (+ a b)) => (* (+ a b) (- a b))
+     (/ (+ a b) (+ c d)) => (/ (+ a b) (+ c d))
+     (^ (+ a b) 3) => (^ (+ a b) 3)
+     (^ (+ a 2) 3) => (^ (+ 2 a) 3)
+
+  Associative rules have been applied and repeated addition and
+multiplication converted to multiplication and exponentiation.
+
+  We can enable distributive rules, thus expanding to sum of products
+form:
+     (set! *ruleset* (combined-rulesets distribute* distribute/))
+     
+     (* (+ a b) (+ a b)) => (+ (* 2 a b) (^ a 2) (^ b 2))
+     (* (+ a b) (- a b)) => (- (^ a 2) (^ b 2))
+     (* (- a b) (- a b)) => (- (+ (^ a 2) (^ b 2)) (* 2 a b))
+     (* (- a b) (+ a b)) => (- (^ a 2) (^ b 2))
+     (/ (+ a b) (+ c d)) => (+ (/ a (+ c d)) (/ b (+ c d)))
+     (/ (+ a b) (- c d)) => (+ (/ a (- c d)) (/ b (- c d)))
+     (/ (- a b) (- c d)) => (- (/ a (- c d)) (/ b (- c d)))
+     (/ (- a b) (+ c d)) => (- (/ a (+ c d)) (/ b (+ c d)))
+     (^ (+ a b) 3) => (+ (* 3 a (^ b 2)) (* 3 b (^ a 2)) (^ a 3) (^ b 3))
+     (^ (+ a 2) 3) => (+ 8 (* a 12) (* (^ a 2) 6) (^ a 3))
+
+  Use of this package is not restricted to simple arithmetic
+expressions:
+
+     (require 'determinant)
+     
+     (determinant '((a b c) (d e f) (g h i))) =>
+     (- (+ (* a e i) (* b f g) (* c d h)) (* a f h) (* b d i) (* c e g))
+
+  Currently, only `+', `-', `*', `/', and `^' support non-numeric
+elements.  Expressions with `-' are converted to equivalent expressions
+without `-', so behavior for `-' is not defined separately.  `/'
+expressions are handled similarly.
+
+  This list might be extended to include `quotient', `modulo',
+`remainder', `lcm', and `gcd'; but these work only for the more
+restrictive Euclidean (Unique Factorization) Domain.
+
+Rules and Rulesets
+==================
+
+  The "commutative-ring" package allows control of ring properties
+through the use of "rulesets".
+
+ - Variable: *ruleset*
+     Contains the set of rules currently in effect.  Rules defined by
+     `cring:define-rule' are stored within the value of *ruleset* at the
+     time `cring:define-rule' is called.  If *RULESET* is `#f', then no
+     rules apply.
+
+ - Function: make-ruleset RULE1 ...
+ - Function: make-ruleset NAME RULE1 ...
+     Returns a new ruleset containing the rules formed by applying
+     `cring:define-rule' to each 4-element list argument RULE.  If the
+     first argument to `make-ruleset' is a symbol, then the database
+     table created for the new ruleset will be named NAME.  Calling
+     `make-ruleset' with no rule arguments creates an empty ruleset.
+
+ - Function: combined-rulesets RULESET1 ...
+ - Function: combined-rulesets NAME RULESET1 ...
+     Returns a new ruleset containing the rules contained in each
+     ruleset argument RULESET.  If the first argument to
+     `combined-ruleset' is a symbol, then the database table created for
+     the new ruleset will be named NAME.  Calling `combined-ruleset'
+     with no ruleset arguments creates an empty ruleset.
+
+  Two rulesets are defined by this package.
+
+ - Constant: distribute*
+     Contain the ruleset to distribute multiplication over addition and
+     subtraction.
+
+ - Constant: distribute/
+     Contain the ruleset to distribute division over addition and
+     subtraction.
+
+     Take care when using both DISTRIBUTE* and DISTRIBUTE/
+     simultaneously.  It is possible to put `/' into an infinite loop.
+
+  You can specify how sum and product expressions containing non-numeric
+elements simplify by specifying the rules for `+' or `*' for cases
+where expressions involving objects reduce to numbers or to expressions
+involving different non-numeric elements.
+
+ - Function: cring:define-rule OP SUB-OP1 SUB-OP2 REDUCTION
+     Defines a rule for the case when the operation represented by
+     symbol OP is applied to lists whose `car's are SUB-OP1 and
+     SUB-OP2, respectively.  The argument REDUCTION is a procedure
+     accepting 2 arguments which will be lists whose `car's are SUB-OP1
+     and SUB-OP2.
+
+ - Function: cring:define-rule OP SUB-OP1 'IDENTITY REDUCTION
+     Defines a rule for the case when the operation represented by
+     symbol OP is applied to a list whose `car' is SUB-OP1, and some
+     other argument.  REDUCTION will be called with the list whose
+     `car' is SUB-OP1 and some other argument.
+
+     If REDUCTION returns `#f', the reduction has failed and other
+     reductions will be tried.  If REDUCTION returns a non-false value,
+     that value will replace the two arguments in arithmetic (`+', `-',
+     and `*') calculations involving non-numeric elements.
+
+     The operations `+' and `*' are assumed commutative; hence both
+     orders of arguments to REDUCTION will be tried if necessary.
+
+     The following rule is the definition for distributing `*' over `+'.
+
+          (cring:define-rule
+           '* '+ 'identity
+           (lambda (exp1 exp2)
+             (apply + (map (lambda (trm) (* trm exp2)) (cdr exp1))))))
+
+How to Create a Commutative Ring
+================================
+
+  The first step in creating your commutative ring is to write
+procedures to create elements of the ring.  A non-numeric element of
+the ring must be represented as a list whose first element is a symbol
+or string.  This first element identifies the type of the object.  A
+convenient and clear convention is to make the type-identifying element
+be the same symbol whose top-level value is the procedure to create it.
+
+     (define (n . list1)
+       (cond ((and (= 2 (length list1))
+                   (eq? (car list1) (cadr list1)))
+              0)
+             ((not (term< (first list1) (last1 list1)))
+              (apply n (reverse list1)))
+             (else (cons 'n list1))))
+     
+     (define (s x y) (n x y))
+     
+     (define (m . list1)
+       (cond ((neq? (first list1) (term_min list1))
+              (apply m (cyclicrotate list1)))
+             ((term< (last1 list1) (cadr list1))
+              (apply m (reverse (cyclicrotate list1))))
+             (else (cons 'm list1))))
+
+  Define a procedure to multiply 2 non-numeric elements of the ring.
+Other multiplicatons are handled automatically.  Objects for which rules
+have *not* been defined are not changed.
+
+     (define (n*n ni nj)
+       (let ((list1 (cdr ni)) (list2 (cdr nj)))
+         (cond ((null? (intersection list1 list2)) #f)
+               ((and (eq? (last1 list1) (first list2))

+                (apply m (cyclicsplice (reverse list1) list2)))
+               (else #f))))
+
+  Test the procedures to see if they work.

+Base Table
+==========
+
+  A base table implementation using Scheme association lists is
+available as the value of the identifier `alist-table' after doing:
+
+  `(require 'alist-table)'
+
+  Association list base tables are suitable for small databases and
+support all Scheme types when temporary and readable/writeable Scheme
+types when saved.  I hope support for other base table implementations
+will be added in the future.
+
+  This rest of this section documents the interface for a base table
+implementation from which the *Note Relational Database:: package
+constructs a Relational system.  It will be of interest primarily to
+those wishing to port or write new base-table implementations.
+
+  All of these functions are accessed through a single procedure by
+calling that procedure with the symbol name of the operation.  A
+procedure will be returned if that operation is supported and `#f'
+otherwise.  For example:
+
+     (require 'alist-table)
+     (define open-base (alist-table 'make-base))
+     make-base       => *a procedure*
+     (define foo (alist-table 'foo))
+     foo             => #f
+
+ - Function: make-base FILENAME KEY-DIMENSION COLUMN-TYPES
+     Returns a new, open, low-level database (collection of tables)
+     associated with FILENAME.  This returned database has an empty
+     table associated with CATALOG-ID.  The positive integer
+     KEY-DIMENSION is the number of keys composed to make a PRIMARY-KEY
+     for the catalog table.  The list of symbols COLUMN-TYPES describes
+     the types of each column for that table.  If the database cannot
+     be created as specified, `#f' is returned.
+
+     Calling the `close-base' method on this database and possibly other
+     operations will cause FILENAME to be written to.  If FILENAME is
+     `#f' a temporary, non-disk based database will be created if such
+     can be supported by the base table implelentation.
+
+ - Function: open-base FILENAME MUTABLE
+     Returns an open low-level database associated with FILENAME.  If
+     MUTABLE? is `#t', this database will have methods capable of
+     effecting change to the database.  If MUTABLE? is `#f', only
+     methods for inquiring the database will be available.  If the
+     database cannot be opened as specified `#f' is returned.
+
+     Calling the `close-base' (and possibly other) method on a MUTABLE?
+     database will cause FILENAME to be written to.
+
+ - Function: write-base LLDB FILENAME
+     Causes the low-level database LLDB to be written to FILENAME.  If
+     the write is successful, also causes LLDB to henceforth be
+     associated with FILENAME.  Calling the `close-database' (and
+     possibly other) method on LLDB may cause FILENAME to be written
+     to.  If FILENAME is `#f' this database will be changed to a
+     temporary, non-disk based database if such can be supported by the
+     underlying base table implelentation.  If the operations completed
+     successfully, `#t' is returned.  Otherwise, `#f' is returned.
+
+ - Function: sync-base LLDB
+     Causes the file associated with the low-level database LLDB to be
+     updated to reflect its current state.  If the associated filename
+     is `#f', no action is taken and `#f' is returned.  If this
+     operation completes successfully, `#t' is returned.  Otherwise,
+     `#f' is returned.
+
+ - Function: close-base LLDB
+     Causes the low-level database LLDB to be written to its associated
+     file (if any).  If the write is successful, subsequent operations
+     to LLDB will signal an error.  If the operations complete
+     successfully, `#t' is returned.  Otherwise, `#f' is returned.
+
+ - Function: make-table LLDB KEY-DIMENSION COLUMN-TYPES
+     Returns the BASE-ID for a new base table, otherwise returns `#f'.
+     The base table can then be opened using `(open-table LLDB
+     BASE-ID)'.  The positive integer KEY-DIMENSION is the number of
+     keys composed to make a PRIMARY-KEY for this table.  The list of
+     symbols COLUMN-TYPES describes the types of each column.
+
+ - Constant: catalog-id
+     A constant BASE-ID suitable for passing as a parameter to
+     `open-table'.  CATALOG-ID will be used as the base table for the
+     system catalog.
+
+ - Function: open-table LLDB BASE-ID KEY-DIMENSION COLUMN-TYPES
+     Returns a HANDLE for an existing base table in the low-level
+     database LLDB if that table exists and can be opened in the mode
+     indicated by MUTABLE?, otherwise returns `#f'.
+
+     As with `make-table', the positive integer KEY-DIMENSION is the
+     number of keys composed to make a PRIMARY-KEY for this table.  The
+     list of symbols COLUMN-TYPES describes the types of each column.
+
+ - Function: kill-table LLDB BASE-ID KEY-DIMENSION COLUMN-TYPES
+     Returns `#t' if the base table associated with BASE-ID was removed
+     from the low level database LLDB, and `#f' otherwise.
+
+ - Function: make-keyifier-1 TYPE
+     Returns a procedure which accepts a single argument which must be
+     of type TYPE.  This returned procedure returns an object suitable
+     for being a KEY argument in the functions whose descriptions
+     follow.
+
+     Any 2 arguments of the supported type passed to the returned
+     function which are not `equal?' must result in returned values
+     which are not `equal?'.
+
+ - Function: make-list-keyifier KEY-DIMENSION TYPES
+     The list of symbols TYPES must have at least KEY-DIMENSION
+     elements.  Returns a procedure which accepts a list of length
+     KEY-DIMENSION and whose types must corresopond to the types named
+     by TYPES.  This returned procedure combines the elements of its
+     list argument into an object suitable for being a KEY argument in
+     the functions whose descriptions follow.
+
+     Any 2 lists of supported types (which must at least include
+     symbols and non-negative integers) passed to the returned function
+     which are not `equal?' must result in returned values which are not
+     `equal?'.
+
+ - Function: make-key-extractor KEY-DIMENSION TYPES COLUMN-NUMBER
+     Returns a procedure which accepts objects produced by application
+     of the result of `(make-list-keyifier KEY-DIMENSION TYPES)'.  This
+     procedure returns a KEY which is `equal?' to the COLUMN-NUMBERth
+     element of the list which was passed to create COMBINED-KEY.  The
+     list TYPES must have at least KEY-DIMENSION elements.
+
+ - Function: make-key->list KEY-DIMENSION TYPES
+     Returns a procedure which accepts objects produced by application
+     of the result of `(make-list-keyifier KEY-DIMENSION TYPES)'.  This
+     procedure returns a list of KEYs which are elementwise `equal?' to
+     the list which was passed to create COMBINED-KEY.
+
+In the following functions, the KEY argument can always be assumed to
+be the value returned by a call to a *keyify* routine.
+
+In contrast, a MATCH-KEY argument is a list of length equal to the
+number of primary keys.  The  MATCH-KEY restricts the actions of the
+table command to those records whose primary keys all satisfy the
+corresponding element of the MATCH-KEY list.  The elements and their
+actions are:
+
+    `#f'
+          The false value matches any key in the corresponding position.
+
+    an object of type procedure
+          This procedure must take a single argument, the key in the
+          corresponding position.  Any key for which the procedure
+          returns a non-false value is a match; Any key for which the
+          procedure returns a `#f' is not.
+
+    other values
+          Any other value matches only those keys `equal?' to it.
+
+ - Function: for-each-key HANDLE PROCEDURE MATCH-KEY
+     Calls PROCEDURE once with each KEY in the table opened in HANDLE
+     which satisfies MATCH-KEY in an unspecified order.  An unspecified
+     value is returned.
+
+ - Function: map-key HANDLE PROCEDURE MATCH-KEY
+     Returns a list of the values returned by calling PROCEDURE once

+
+ - Function: ordered-for-each-key HANDLE PROCEDURE MATCH-KEY
+     Calls PROCEDURE once with each KEY in the table opened in HANDLE

+     the primary key fields of that table.  An unspecified value is
+     returned.
+
+ - Function: delete* HANDLE MATCH-KEY
+     Removes all rows which satisfy MATCH-KEY from the table opened in
+     HANDLE.  An unspecified value is returned.
+
+ - Function: present? HANDLE KEY
+     Returns a non-`#f' value if there is a row associated with KEY in
+     the table opened in HANDLE and `#f' otherwise.
+
+ - Function: delete HANDLE KEY
+     Removes the row associated with KEY from the table opened in
+     HANDLE.  An unspecified value is returned.
+
+ - Function: make-getter KEY-DIMENSION TYPES
+     Returns a procedure which takes arguments HANDLE and KEY.  This
+     procedure returns a list of the non-primary values of the relation
+     (in the base table opened in HANDLE) whose primary key is KEY if
+     it exists, and `#f' otherwise.
+
+ - Function: make-putter KEY-DIMENSION TYPES
+     Returns a procedure which takes arguments HANDLE and KEY and

+     returns an unspecified value.
+
+ - Function: supported-type? SYMBOL
+     Returns `#t' if SYMBOL names a type allowed as a column value by

+     `string', `boolean', and `base-id'.
+
+ - Function: supported-key-type? SYMBOL
+     Returns `#t' if SYMBOL names a type allowed as a key value by the

+Relational Database
+===================
+
+  `(require 'relational-database)'
+
+  This package implements a database system inspired by the Relational
+Model (`E. F. Codd, A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data
+Banks').  An SLIB relational database implementation can be created
+from any *Note Base Table:: implementation.

+
+Motivations
+-----------
+
+  Most nontrivial programs contain databases: Makefiles, configure
+scripts, file backup, calendars, editors, source revision control, CAD
+systems, display managers, menu GUIs, games, parsers, debuggers,
+profilers, and even error reporting are all rife with databases.  Coding
+databases is such a common activity in programming that many may not be
+aware of how often they do it.
+
+  A database often starts as a dispatch in a program.  The author,
+perhaps because of the need to make the dispatch configurable, the need
+for correlating dispatch in other routines, or because of changes or
+growth, devises a data structure to contain the information, a routine
+for interpreting that data structure, and perhaps routines for
+augmenting and modifying the stored data.  The dispatch must be
+converted into this form and tested.
+
+  The programmer may need to devise an interactive program for enabling
+easy examination and modification of the information contained in this
+database.  Often, in an attempt to foster modularity and avoid delays in
+release, intermediate file formats for the database information are
+devised.  It often turns out that users prefer modifying these
+intermediate files with a text editor to using the interactive program
+in order to do operations (such as global changes) not forseen by the
+program's author.
+
+  In order to address this need, the conscientious software engineer may
+even provide a scripting language to allow users to make repetitive
+database changes.  Users will grumble that they need to read a large
+manual and learn yet another programming language (even if it *almost*
+has language "xyz" syntax) in order to do simple configuration.
+
+  All of these facilities need to be designed, coded, debugged,
+documented, and supported; often causing what was very simple in concept
+to become a major developement project.
+
+  This view of databases just outlined is somewhat the reverse of the
+view of the originators of the "Relational Model" of database
+abstraction.  The relational model was devised to unify and allow
+interoperation of large multi-user databases running on diverse
+platforms.  A fairly general purpose "Comprehensive Language" for
+database manipulations is mandated (but not specified) as part of the
+relational model for databases.
+
+  One aspect of the Relational Model of some importance is that the
+"Comprehensive Language" must be expressible in some form which can be
+stored in the database.  This frees the programmer from having to make
+programs data-driven in order to use a database.
+
+  This package includes as one of its basic supported types Scheme
+"expression"s.  This type allows expressions as defined by the Scheme
+standards to be stored in the database.  Using `slib:eval' retrieved
+expressions can be evaluated (in the top-level environment).  Scheme's
+`lambda' facilitates closure of environments, modularity, etc. so that
+procedures (which could not be stored directly most databases) can
+still be effectively retrieved.  Since `slib:eval' evaluates
+expressions in the top-level environment, built-in and user defined
+procedures can be easily accessed by name.
+
+  This package's purpose is to standardize (through a common interface)
+database creation and usage in Scheme programs.  The relational model's
+provision for inclusion of language expressions as data as well as the
+description (in tables, of course) of all of its tables assures that
+relational databases are powerful enough to assume the roles currently
+played by thousands of ad-hoc routines and data formats.
+
+Such standardization to a relational-like model brings many benefits:
+
+   * Tables, fields, domains, and types can be dealt with by name in
+     programs.
+
+   * The underlying database implementation can be changed (for
+     performance or other reasons) by changing a single line of code.
+
+   * The formats of tables can be easily extended or changed without
+     altering code.
+
+   * Consistency checks are specified as part of the table descriptions.
+     Changes in checks need only occur in one place.
+
+   * All the configuration information which the developer wishes to
+     group together is easily grouped, without needing to change
+     programs aware of only some of these tables.
+
+   * Generalized report generators, interactive entry programs, and
+     other database utilities can be part of a shared library.  The
+     burden of adding configurability to a program is greatly reduced.
+
+   * Scheme is the "comprehensive language" for these databases.
+     Scripting for configuration no longer needs to be in a separate
+     language with additional documentation.
+
+   * Scheme's latent types mesh well with the strict typing and logical
+     requirements of the relational model.
+
+   * Portable formats allow easy interchange of data.  The included
+     table descriptions help prevent misinterpretation of format.

+Creating and Opening Relational Databases
+-----------------------------------------
+
+ - Function: make-relational-system BASE-TABLE-IMPLEMENTATION
+     Returns a procedure implementing a relational database using the
+     BASE-TABLE-IMPLEMENTATION.
+
+     All of the operations of a base table implementation are accessed
+     through a procedure defined by `require'ing that implementation.
+     Similarly, all of the operations of the relational database
+     implementation are accessed through the procedure returned by
+     `make-relational-system'.  For instance, a new relational database
+     could be created from the procedure returned by
+     `make-relational-system' by:
+
+          (require 'alist-table)
+          (define relational-alist-system
+                  (make-relational-system alist-table))
+          (define create-alist-database
+                  (relational-alist-system 'create-database))
+          (define my-database
+                  (create-alist-database "mydata.db"))
+
+What follows are the descriptions of the methods available from
+relational system returned by a call to `make-relational-system'.
+
+ - Function: create-database FILENAME
+     Returns an open, nearly empty relational database associated with
+     FILENAME.  The only tables defined are the system catalog and
+     domain table.  Calling the `close-database' method on this database
+     and possibly other operations will cause FILENAME to be written
+     to.  If FILENAME is `#f' a temporary, non-disk based database will
+     be created if such can be supported by the underlying base table
+     implelentation.  If the database cannot be created as specified
+     `#f' is returned.  For the fields and layout of descriptor tables,
+     *Note Catalog Representation::
+
+ - Function: open-database FILENAME MUTABLE?
+     Returns an open relational database associated with FILENAME.  If
+     MUTABLE? is `#t', this database will have methods capable of
+     effecting change to the database.  If MUTABLE? is `#f', only
+     methods for inquiring the database will be available.  Calling the
+     `close-database' (and possibly other) method on a MUTABLE?
+     database will cause FILENAME to be written to.  If the database
+     cannot be opened as specified `#f' is returned.

+
+Relational Database Operations
+------------------------------
+
+These are the descriptions of the methods available from an open
+relational database.  A method is retrieved from a database by calling
+the database with the symbol name of the operation.  For example:
+
+     (define my-database
+             (create-alist-database "mydata.db"))
+     (define telephone-table-desc
+             ((my-database 'create-table) 'telephone-table-desc))
+
+ - Function: close-database
+     Causes the relational database to be written to its associated
+     file (if any).  If the write is successful, subsequent operations
+     to this database will signal an error.  If the operations completed
+     successfully, `#t' is returned.  Otherwise, `#f' is returned.
+
+ - Function: write-database FILENAME
+     Causes the relational database to be written to FILENAME.  If the
+     write is successful, also causes the database to henceforth be
+     associated with FILENAME.  Calling the `close-database' (and
+     possibly other) method on this database will cause FILENAME to be
+     written to.  If FILENAME is `#f' this database will be changed to
+     a temporary, non-disk based database if such can be supported by
+     the underlying base table implelentation.  If the operations
+     completed successfully, `#t' is returned.  Otherwise, `#f' is
+     returned.
+
+ - Function: table-exists? TABLE-NAME
+     Returns `#t' if TABLE-NAME exists in the system catalog, otherwise
+     returns `#f'.
+
+ - Function: open-table TABLE-NAME MUTABLE?
+     Returns a "methods" procedure for an existing relational table in
+     this database if it exists and can be opened in the mode indicated
+     by MUTABLE?, otherwise returns `#f'.
+
+These methods will be present only in databases which are MUTABLE?.
+
+ - Function: delete-table TABLE-NAME
+     Removes and returns the TABLE-NAME row from the system catalog if
+     the table or view associated with TABLE-NAME gets removed from the
+     database, and `#f' otherwise.
+
+ - Function: create-table TABLE-DESC-NAME
+     Returns a methods procedure for a new (open) relational table for
+     describing the columns of a new base table in this database,
+     otherwise returns `#f'.  For the fields and layout of descriptor
+     tables, *Note Catalog Representation::.
+
+ - Function: create-table TABLE-NAME TABLE-DESC-NAME
+     Returns a methods procedure for a new (open) relational table with
+     columns as described by TABLE-DESC-NAME, otherwise returns `#f'.

+
+Table Operations
+----------------
+
+These are the descriptions of the methods available from an open
+relational table.  A method is retrieved from a table by calling the
+table with the symbol name of the operation.  For example:
+
+     (define telephone-table-desc
+             ((my-database 'create-table) 'telephone-table-desc))
+     (require 'common-list-functions)
+     (define ndrp (telephone-table-desc 'row:insert))
+     (ndrp '(1 #t name #f string))
+     (ndrp '(2 #f telephone
+               (lambda (d)
+                 (and (string? d) (> (string-length d) 2)
+                      (every
+                       (lambda (c)
+                         (memv c '(#\0 #\1 #\2 #\3 #\4 #\5 #\6 #\7 #\8 #\9
+                                       #\+ #\( #\  #\) #\-)))
+                       (string->list d))))
+               string))
+
+Some operations described below require primary key arguments.  Primary
+keys arguments are denoted KEY1 KEY2 ....  It is an error to call an
+operation for a table which takes primary key arguments with the wrong
+number of primary keys for that table.
+
+The term "row" used below refers to a Scheme list of values (one for
+each column) in the order specified in the descriptor (table) for this
+table.  Missing values appear as `#f'.  Primary keys must not be
+missing.
+
+ - Function: get COLUMN-NAME
+     Returns a procedure of arguments KEY1 KEY2 ... which returns the
+     value for the COLUMN-NAME column of the row associated with

+
+ - Function: row:delete*
+     Returns a procedure of optional arguments MATCH-KEY1 ... which
+     Deletes all rows from this table.  The optional MATCH-KEY1 ...
+     arguments restrict deletions to a subset of the table.  See the

+     table are not affected.
+
+ - Function: row:update
+     Returns a procedure of one argument, ROW, which adds the row, ROW,
+     to this table.  If a row for the primary key(s) specified by ROW
+     already exists in this table, it will be overwritten.  The value
+     returned is unspecified.
+
+ - Function: row:update*
+     Returns a procedure of one argument, ROWS, which adds each row in
+     the list of rows, ROWS, to this table.  If a row for the primary
+     key specified by an element of ROWS already exists in this table,
+     it will be overwritten.  The value returned is unspecified.
+
+ - Function: row:insert
+     Adds the row ROW to this table.  If a row for the primary key(s)
+     specified by ROW already exists in this table an error is
+     signaled.  The value returned is unspecified.
+
+ - Function: row:insert*
+     Returns a procedure of one argument, ROWS, which adds each row in
+     the list of rows, ROWS, to this table.  If a row for the primary
+     key specified by an element of ROWS already exists in this table,
+     an error is signaled.  The value returned is unspecified.
+
+ - Function: for-each-row
+     Returns a procedure of arguments PROC MATCH-KEY1 ...  which calls
+     PROC with each ROW in this table in the (implementation-dependent)
+     natural ordering for rows.  The optional MATCH-KEY1 ... arguments
+     restrict actions to a subset of the table.  See the match-key
+     description below for details.
+
+     *Real* relational programmers would use some least-upper-bound join
+     for every row to get them in order; But we don't have joins yet.
+
+The (optional) MATCH-KEY1 ... arguments are used to restrict actions of
+a whole-table operation to a subset of that table.  Those procedures
+(returned by methods) which accept match-key arguments will accept any

+keys in the table.  Any unspecified MATCH-KEY arguments default to `#f'.
+
+The MATCH-KEY1 ... restrict the actions of the table command to those
+records whose primary keys each satisfy the corresponding MATCH-KEY
+argument.  The arguments and their actions are:
+
+    `#f'
+          The false value matches any key in the corresponding position.
+
+    an object of type procedure
+          This procedure must take a single argument, the key in the

+                                 produces a handle for the view.  coltab
+                                 and bastab are specified if and only if
+                                 view-procedure is not.
+
+Descriptors for base tables (not views) are tables (pointed to by
+system catalog).  Descriptor (base) tables have the fields:
+
+     PRI column-number           sequential integers from 1
+         primary-key?            boolean TRUE for primary key components
+         column-name
+         column-integrity-rule
+         domain-name
+
+A "primary key" is any column marked as `primary-key?' in the
+corresponding descriptor table.  All the `primary-key?' columns must
+have lower column numbers than any non-`primary-key?' columns.  Every
+table must have at least one primary key.  Primary keys must be
+sufficient to distinguish all rows from each other in the table.  All of
+the system defined tables have a single primary key.
+
+This package currently supports tables having from 1 to 4 primary keys
+if there are non-primary columns, and any (natural) number if *all*
+columns are primary keys.  If you need more than 4 primary keys, I would
+like to hear what you are doing!
+
+A "domain" is a category describing the allowable values to occur in a
+column.  It is described by a (base) table with the fields:
+
+     PRI domain-name
+         foreign-table
+         domain-integrity-rule
+         type-id
+         type-param
+
+The "type-id" field value is a symbol.  This symbol may be used by the
+underlying base table implementation in storing that field.
+
+If the `foreign-table' field is non-`#f' then that field names a table
+from the catalog.  The values for that domain must match a primary key
+of the table referenced by the TYPE-PARAM (or `#f', if allowed).  This
+package currently does not support composite foreign-keys.
+
+The types for which support is planned are:
+         atom
+         symbol
+         string                  [<length>]
+         number                  [<base>]
+         money                   <currency>
+         date-time
+         boolean
+     
+         foreign-key             <table-name>
+         expression
+         virtual                 <expression>

+
+Unresolved Issues
+-----------------
+
+  Although `rdms.scm' is not large, I found it very difficult to write
+(six rewrites).  I am not aware of any other examples of a generalized
+relational system (although there is little new in CS).  I left out
+several aspects of the Relational model in order to simplify the job.
+The major features lacking (which might be addressed portably) are
+views, transaction boundaries, and protection.
+
+  Protection needs a model for specifying priveledges.  Given how
+operations are accessed from handles it should not be difficult to
+restrict table accesses to those allowed for that user.
+
+  The system catalog has a field called `view-procedure'.  This should
+allow a purely functional implementation of views.  This will work but
+is unsatisfying for views resulting from a "select"ion (subset of
+rows); for whole table operations it will not be possible to reduce the
+number of keys scanned over when the selection is specified only by an
+opaque procedure.
+
+  Transaction boundaries present the most intriguing area.  Transaction
+boundaries are actually a feature of the "Comprehensive Language" of the
+Relational database and not of the database.  Scheme would seem to
+provide the opportunity for an extremely clean semantics for transaction
+boundaries since the builtin procedures with side effects are small in
+number and easily identified.
+
+  These side-effect builtin procedures might all be portably redefined
+to versions which properly handled transactions.  Compiled library
+routines would need to be recompiled as well.  Many system extensions
+(delete-file, system, etc.) would also need to be redefined.
+
+There are 2 scope issues that must be resolved for multiprocess
+transaction boundaries:
+
+Process scope
+     The actions captured by a transaction should be only for the
+     process which invoked the start of transaction.  Although standard
+     Scheme does not provide process primitives as such, `dynamic-wind'
+     would provide a workable hook into process switching for many
+     implementations.
+
+Shared utilities with state
+     Some shared utilities have state which should *not* be part of a
+     transaction.  An example would be calling a pseudo-random number
+     generator.  If the success of a transaction depended on the
+     pseudo-random number and failed, the state of the generator would
+     be set back.  Subsequent calls would keep returning the same
+     number and keep failing.
+
+     Pseudo-random number generators are not reentrant; thus they would
+     require locks in order to operate properly in a multiprocess
+     environment.  Are all examples of utilities whose state should not
+     be part of transactions also non-reentrant?  If so, perhaps
+     suspending transaction capture for the duration of locks would
+     solve this problem.

+
+Database Utilities
+------------------
+
+  `(require 'database-utilities)'
+
+This enhancement wraps a utility layer on `relational-database' which
+provides:
+   * Automatic loading of the appropriate base-table package when
+     opening a database.
+
+   * Automatic execution of initialization commands stored in database.
+
+   * Transparent execution of database commands stored in `*commands*'
+     table in database.
+
+Also included are utilities which provide:
+   * Data definition from Scheme lists and
+
+   * Report generation
+
+for any SLIB relational database.
+
+ - Function: create-database FILENAME BASE-TABLE-TYPE
+     Returns an open, nearly empty enhanced (with `*commands*' table)
+     relational database (with base-table type BASE-TABLE-TYPE)
+     associated with FILENAME.
+
+ - Function: open-database FILENAME
+ - Function: open-database FILENAME BASE-TABLE-TYPE
+     Returns an open enchanced relational database associated with
+     FILENAME.  The database will be opened with base-table type
+     BASE-TABLE-TYPE) if supplied.  If BASE-TABLE-TYPE is not supplied,
+     `open-database' will attempt to deduce the correct
+     base-table-type.  If the database can not be opened or if it lacks
+     the `*commands*' table, `#f' is returned.
+
+ - Function: open-database! FILENAME
+ - Function: open-database! FILENAME BASE-TABLE-TYPE
+     Returns *mutable* open enchanced relational database ...
+
+The table `*commands*' in an "enhanced" relational-database has the
+fields (with domains):
+     PRI name        symbol
+         parameters  parameter-list
+         procedure   expression
+         documentation string
+
+  The `parameters' field is a foreign key (domain `parameter-list') of
+the `*catalog-data*' table and should have the value of a table
+described by `*parameter-columns*'.  This `parameter-list' table
+describes the arguments suitable for passing to the associated command.
+The intent of this table is to be of a form such that different
+user-interfaces (for instance, pull-down menus or plain-text queries)
+can operate from the same table.  A `parameter-list' table has the
+following fields:
+     PRI index       uint
+         name        symbol
+         arity       parameter-arity
+         domain      domain
+         defaulter   expression
+         expander    expression
+         documentation string
+
+  The `arity' field can take the values:
+
+`single'
+     Requires a single parameter of the specified domain.
+
+`optional'
+     A single parameter of the specified domain or zero parameters is
+     acceptable.
+
+`boolean'
+     A single boolean parameter or zero parameters (in which case `#f'
+     is substituted) is acceptable.
+
+`nary'
+     Any number of parameters of the specified domain are acceptable.
+     The argument passed to the command function is always a list of the
+     parameters.
+
+`nary1'
+     One or more of parameters of the specified domain are acceptable.
+     The argument passed to the command function is always a list of the
+     parameters.
+
+  The `domain' field specifies the domain which a parameter or
+parameters in the `index'th field must satisfy.
+
+  The `defaulter' field is an expression whose value is either `#f' or
+a procedure of one argument (the parameter-list) which returns a *list*
+of the default value or values as appropriate.  Note that since the
+`defaulter' procedure is called every time a default parameter is
+needed for this column, "sticky" defaults can be implemented using
+shared state with the domain-integrity-rule.
+
+Invoking Commands
+.................
+
+  When an enhanced relational-database is called with a symbol which
+matches a NAME in the `*commands*' table, the associated procedure
+expression is evaluated and applied to the enhanced
+relational-database.  A procedure should then be returned which the user
+can invoke on (optional) arguments.
+
+  The command `*initialize*' is special.  If present in the
+`*commands*' table, `open-database' or `open-database!'  will return
+the value of the `*initialize*' command.  Notice that arbitrary code
+can be run when the `*initialize*' procedure is automatically applied
+to the enhanced relational-database.
+
+  Note also that if you wish to shadow or hide from the user
+relational-database methods described in *Note Relational Database
+Operations::, this can be done by a dispatch in the closure returned by
+the `*initialize*' expression rather than by entries in the
+`*commands*' table if it is desired that the underlying methods remain
+accessible to code in the `*commands*' table.
+
+ - Function: make-command-server RDB TABLE-NAME
+     Returns a procedure of 2 arguments, a (symbol) command and a
+     call-back procedure.  When this returned procedure is called, it
+     looks up COMMAND in table TABLE-NAME and calls the call-back
+     procedure with arguments:
+    COMMAND
+          The COMMAND
+
+    COMMAND-VALUE
+          The result of evaluating the expression in the PROCEDURE
+          field of TABLE-NAME and calling it with RDB.
+
+    PARAMETER-NAME
+          A list of the "official" name of each parameter.  Corresponds
+          to the `name' field of the COMMAND's parameter-table.
+
+    POSITIONS
+          A list of the positive integer index of each parameter.
+          Corresponds to the `index' field of the COMMAND's
+          parameter-table.
+
+    ARITIES
+          A list of the arities of each parameter.  Corresponds to the
+          `arity' field of the COMMAND's parameter-table.  For a
+          description of `arity' see table above.
+
+    TYPES
+          A list of the type name of each parameter.  Correspnds to the
+          `type-id' field of the contents of the `domain' of the
+          COMMAND's parameter-table.
+
+    DEFAULTERS
+          A list of the defaulters for each parameter.  Corresponds to
+          the `defaulters' field of the COMMAND's parameter-table.
+
+    DOMAIN-INTEGRITY-RULES
+          A list of procedures (one for each parameter) which tests
+          whether a value for a parameter is acceptable for that
+          parameter.  The procedure should be called with each datum in
+          the list for `nary' arity parameters.
+
+    ALIASES
+          A list of lists of `(alias parameter-name)'.  There can be
+          more than one alias per PARAMETER-NAME.
+
+  For information about parameters, *Note Parameter lists::.  Here is an
+example of setting up a command with arguments and parsing those
+arguments from a `getopt' style argument list (*note Getopt::.).

+  Some commands are defined in all extended relational-databases.  The

+     Adds DOMAIN-ROW to the "domains" table if there is no row in the

+     `#t'.  Otherwise returns `#f'.
+

+
+        * domain-integrity-rule
+
+        * type-id
+
+        * type-param
+
+     The following example adds 3 domains to the `build' database.
+     `Optstring' is either a string or `#f'.  `filename' is a string

+     DOMAIN.
+
+Defining Tables
+...............
+
+ - Procedure: define-tables RDB SPEC-0 ...
+     Adds tables as specified in SPEC-0 ... to the open
+     relational-database RDB.  Each SPEC has the form:
+
+          (<name> <descriptor-name> <descriptor-name> <rows>)
+     or
+          (<name> <primary-key-fields> <other-fields> <rows>)
+
+     where <name> is the table name, <descriptor-name> is the symbol
+     name of a descriptor table, <primary-key-fields> and
+     <other-fields> describe the primary keys and other fields
+     respectively, and <rows> is a list of data rows to be added to the
+     table.
+
+     <primary-key-fields> and <other-fields> are lists of field
+     descriptors of the form:
+
+          (<column-name> <domain>)
+     or
+          (<column-name> <domain> <column-integrity-rule>)
+
+     where <column-name> is the column name, <domain> is the domain of
+     the column, and <column-integrity-rule> is an expression whose
+     value is a procedure of one argument (which returns `#f' to signal
+     an error).
+
+     If <domain> is not a defined domain name and it matches the name of
+     this table or an already defined (in one of SPEC-0 ...) single key
+     field table, a foriegn-key domain will be created for it.
+
+The following example shows a new database with the name of `foo.db'
+being created with tables describing processor families and
+processor/os/compiler combinations.
+
+The database command `define-tables' is defined to call `define-tables'
+with its arguments.  The database is also configured to print `Welcome'
+when the database is opened.  The database is then closed and reopened.

+Database Reports
+----------------
+
+Code for generating database reports is in `report.scm'.  After writing
+it using `format', I discovered that Common-Lisp `format' is not
+useable for this application because there is no mechanismm for
+truncating fields.  `report.scm' needs to be rewritten using `printf'.
+
+ - Procedure: create-report RDB DESTINATION REPORT-NAME TABLE
+ - Procedure: create-report RDB DESTINATION REPORT-NAME
+     The symbol REPORT-NAME must be primary key in the table named
+     `*reports*' in the relational database RDB.  DESTINATION is a
+     port, string, or symbol.  If DESTINATION is a:
+
+    port
+          The table is created as ascii text and written to that port.
+
+    string
+          The table is created as ascii text and written to the file
+          named by DESTINATION.
+
+    symbol
+          DESTINATION is the primary key for a row in the table named
+          *printers*.
+
+     The report is prepared as follows:
+
+        * `Format' (*note Format::.) is called with the `header' field
+          and the (list of) `column-names' of the table.
+
+        * `Format' is called with the `reporter' field and (on
+          successive calls) each record in the natural order for the
+          table.  A count is kept of the number of newlines output by
+          format.  When the number of newlines to be output exceeds the
+          number of lines per page, the set of lines will be broken if
+          there are more than `minimum-break' left on this page and the
+          number of lines for this row is larger or equal to twice
+          `minimum-break'.
+
+        * `Format' is called with the `footer' field and the (list of)
+          `column-names' of the table.  The footer field should not
+          output a newline.
+
+        * A new page is output.
+
+        * This entire process repeats until all the rows are output.
+
+  Each row in the table *reports* has the fields:
+
+name
+     The report name.
+
+default-table
+     The table to report on if none is specified.
+
+header, footer
+     A `format' string.  At the beginning and end of each page
+     respectively, `format' is called with this string and the (list of)
+     column-names of this table.
+
+reporter
+     A `format' string.  For each row in the table, `format' is called
+     with this string and the row.
+
+minimum-break
+     The minimum number of lines into which the report lines for a row
+     can be broken.  Use `0' if a row's lines should not be broken over
+     page boundaries.
+
+  Each row in the table *printers* has the fields:
+
+name
+     The printer name.
+
+print-procedure
+     The procedure to call to actually print.

+Weight-Balanced Trees
+=====================
+
+  `(require 'wt-tree)'
+
+  Balanced binary trees are a useful data structure for maintaining
+large sets of ordered objects or sets of associations whose keys are
+ordered.  MIT Scheme has an comprehensive implementation of
+weight-balanced binary trees which has several advantages over the
+other data structures for large aggregates:
+
+   * In addition to the usual element-level operations like insertion,
+     deletion and lookup, there is a full complement of collection-level
+     operations, like set intersection, set union and subset test, all
+     of which are implemented with good orders of growth in time and
+     space.  This makes weight balanced trees ideal for rapid
+     prototyping of functionally derived specifications.
+
+   * An element in a tree may be indexed by its position under the
+     ordering of the keys, and the ordinal position of an element may
+     be determined, both with reasonable efficiency.
+
+   * Operations to find and remove minimum element make weight balanced
+     trees simple to use for priority queues.
+
+   * The implementation is *functional* rather than *imperative*.  This
+     means that operations like `inserting' an association in a tree do
+     not destroy the old tree, in much the same way that `(+ 1 x)'
+     modifies neither the constant 1 nor the value bound to `x'.  The
+     trees are referentially transparent thus the programmer need not
+     worry about copying the trees.  Referential transparency allows
+     space efficiency to be achieved by sharing subtrees.
+
+  These features make weight-balanced trees suitable for a wide range of
+applications, especially those that require large numbers of sets or
+discrete maps.  Applications that have a few global databases and/or
+concentrate on element-level operations like insertion and lookup are
+probably better off using hash-tables or red-black trees.
+
+  The *size* of a tree is the number of associations that it contains.
+Weight balanced binary trees are balanced to keep the sizes of the
+subtrees of each node within a constant factor of each other.  This
+ensures logarithmic times for single-path operations (like lookup and
+insertion).  A weight balanced tree takes space that is proportional to
+the number of associations in the tree.  For the current
+implementation, the constant of proportionality is six words per
+association.
+
+  Weight balanced trees can be used as an implementation for either
+discrete sets or discrete maps (associations).  Sets are implemented by
+ignoring the datum that is associated with the key.  Under this scheme
+if an associations exists in the tree this indicates that the key of the
+association is a member of the set.  Typically a value such as `()',
+`#t' or `#f' is associated with the key.
+
+  Many operations can be viewed as computing a result that, depending on
+whether the tree arguments are thought of as sets or maps, is known by
+two different names.  An example is `wt-tree/member?', which, when
+regarding the tree argument as a set, computes the set membership
+operation, but, when regarding the tree as a discrete map,
+`wt-tree/member?' is the predicate testing if the map is defined at an
+element in its domain.  Most names in this package have been chosen
+based on interpreting the trees as sets, hence the name
+`wt-tree/member?' rather than `wt-tree/defined-at?'.
+
+  The weight balanced tree implementation is a run-time-loadable option.
+To use weight balanced trees, execute
+
+     (load-option 'wt-tree)
+
+once before calling any of the procedures defined here.

+
+Construction of Weight-Balanced Trees
+-------------------------------------
+
+  Binary trees require there to be a total order on the keys used to
+arrange the elements in the tree.  Weight balanced trees are organized
+by *types*, where the type is an object encapsulating the ordering
+relation.  Creating a tree is a two-stage process.  First a tree type
+must be created from the predicate which gives the ordering.  The tree
+type is then used for making trees, either empty or singleton trees or
+trees from other aggregate structures like association lists.  Once
+created, a tree `knows' its type and the type is used to test
+compatibility between trees in operations taking two trees.  Usually a
+small number of tree types are created at the beginning of a program and
+used many times throughout the program's execution.
+
+ - procedure+: make-wt-tree-type KEY<?
+     This procedure creates and returns a new tree type based on the
+     ordering predicate KEY<?.  KEY<? must be a total ordering, having
+     the property that for all key values `a', `b' and `c':
+
+          (key<? a a)                         => #f
+          (and (key<? a b) (key<? b a))       => #f
+          (if (and (key<? a b) (key<? b c))
+              (key<? a c)
+              #t)                             => #t
+
+     Two key values are assumed to be equal if neither is less than the
+     other by KEY<?.
+
+     Each call to `make-wt-tree-type' returns a distinct value, and
+     trees are only compatible if their tree types are `eq?'.  A
+     consequence is that trees that are intended to be used in binary
+     tree operations must all be created with a tree type originating
+     from the same call to `make-wt-tree-type'.
+
+ - variable+: number-wt-type
+     A standard tree type for trees with numeric keys.  `Number-wt-type'
+     could have been defined by
+
+          (define number-wt-type (make-wt-tree-type  <))
+
+ - variable+: string-wt-type
+     A standard tree type for trees with string keys.  `String-wt-type'
+     could have been defined by
+
+          (define string-wt-type (make-wt-tree-type  string<?))
+
+ - procedure+: make-wt-tree WT-TREE-TYPE
+     This procedure creates and returns a newly allocated weight
+     balanced tree.  The tree is empty, i.e. it contains no
+     associations.  WT-TREE-TYPE is a weight balanced tree type
+     obtained by calling `make-wt-tree-type'; the returned tree has
+     this type.
+
+ - procedure+: singleton-wt-tree WT-TREE-TYPE KEY DATUM
+     This procedure creates and returns a newly allocated weight
+     balanced tree.  The tree contains a single association, that of
+     DATUM with KEY.  WT-TREE-TYPE is a weight balanced tree type
+     obtained by calling `make-wt-tree-type'; the returned tree has
+     this type.
+
+ - procedure+: alist->wt-tree TREE-TYPE ALIST
+     Returns a newly allocated weight-balanced tree that contains the
+     same associations as ALIST.  This procedure is equivalent to:
+
+          (lambda (type alist)
+            (let ((tree (make-wt-tree type)))
+              (for-each (lambda (association)

+Basic Operations on Weight-Balanced Trees
+-----------------------------------------
+
+  This section describes the basic tree operations on weight balanced
+trees.  These operations are the usual tree operations for insertion,
+deletion and lookup, some predicates and a procedure for determining the
+number of associations in a tree.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree? OBJECT
+     Returns `#t' if OBJECT is a weight-balanced tree, otherwise
+     returns `#f'.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/empty? WT-TREE
+     Returns `#t' if WT-TREE contains no associations, otherwise
+     returns `#f'.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/size WT-TREE
+     Returns the number of associations in WT-TREE, an exact
+     non-negative integer.  This operation takes constant time.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/add WT-TREE KEY DATUM
+     Returns a new tree containing all the associations in WT-TREE and
+     the association of DATUM with KEY.  If WT-TREE already had an
+     association for KEY, the new association overrides the old.  The
+     average and worst-case times required by this operation are
+     proportional to the logarithm of the number of associations in
+     WT-TREE.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/add! WT-TREE KEY DATUM
+     Associates DATUM with KEY in WT-TREE and returns an unspecified
+     value.  If WT-TREE already has an association for KEY, that
+     association is replaced.  The average and worst-case times
+     required by this operation are proportional to the logarithm of
+     the number of associations in WT-TREE.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/member? KEY WT-TREE
+     Returns `#t' if WT-TREE contains an association for KEY, otherwise
+     returns `#f'.  The average and worst-case times required by this
+     operation are proportional to the logarithm of the number of
+     associations in WT-TREE.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/lookup WT-TREE KEY DEFAULT
+     Returns the datum associated with KEY in WT-TREE.  If WT-TREE
+     doesn't contain an association for KEY, DEFAULT is returned.  The
+     average and worst-case times required by this operation are
+     proportional to the logarithm of the number of associations in
+     WT-TREE.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/delete WT-TREE KEY
+     Returns a new tree containing all the associations in WT-TREE,
+     except that if WT-TREE contains an association for KEY, it is
+     removed from the result.  The average and worst-case times required
+     by this operation are proportional to the logarithm of the number
+     of associations in WT-TREE.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/delete! WT-TREE KEY
+     If WT-TREE contains an association for KEY the association is
+     removed.  Returns an unspecified value.  The average and worst-case
+     times required by this operation are proportional to the logarithm
+     of the number of associations in WT-TREE.

+
+Advanced Operations on Weight-Balanced Trees
+--------------------------------------------
+
+  In the following the *size* of a tree is the number of associations
+that the tree contains, and a *smaller* tree contains fewer
+associations.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/split< WT-TREE BOUND
+     Returns a new tree containing all and only the associations in
+     WT-TREE which have a key that is less than BOUND in the ordering
+     relation of the tree type of WT-TREE.  The average and worst-case
+     times required by this operation are proportional to the logarithm
+     of the size of WT-TREE.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/split> WT-TREE BOUND
+     Returns a new tree containing all and only the associations in
+     WT-TREE which have a key that is greater than BOUND in the
+     ordering relation of the tree type of WT-TREE.  The average and
+     worst-case times required by this operation are proportional to the
+     logarithm of size of WT-TREE.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/union WT-TREE-1 WT-TREE-2
+     Returns a new tree containing all the associations from both trees.
+     This operation is asymmetric: when both trees have an association
+     for the same key, the returned tree associates the datum from
+     WT-TREE-2 with the key.  Thus if the trees are viewed as discrete
+     maps then `wt-tree/union' computes the map override of WT-TREE-1 by
+     WT-TREE-2.  If the trees are viewed as sets the result is the set
+     union of the arguments.  The worst-case time required by this
+     operation is proportional to the sum of the sizes of both trees.
+     If the minimum key of one tree is greater than the maximum key of
+     the other tree then the time required is at worst proportional to
+     the logarithm of the size of the larger tree.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/intersection WT-TREE-1 WT-TREE-2
+     Returns a new tree containing all and only those associations from
+     WT-TREE-1 which have keys appearing as the key of an association
+     in WT-TREE-2.  Thus the associated data in the result are those
+     from WT-TREE-1.  If the trees are being used as sets the result is
+     the set intersection of the arguments.  As a discrete map
+     operation, `wt-tree/intersection' computes the domain restriction
+     of WT-TREE-1 to (the domain of) WT-TREE-2.  The time required by
+     this operation is never worse that proportional to the sum of the
+     sizes of the trees.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/difference WT-TREE-1 WT-TREE-2
+     Returns a new tree containing all and only those associations from
+     WT-TREE-1 which have keys that *do not* appear as the key of an
+     association in WT-TREE-2.  If the trees are viewed as sets the
+     result is the asymmetric set difference of the arguments.  As a
+     discrete map operation, it computes the domain restriction of
+     WT-TREE-1 to the complement of (the domain of) WT-TREE-2.  The
+     time required by this operation is never worse that proportional to
+     the sum of the sizes of the trees.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/subset? WT-TREE-1 WT-TREE-2
+     Returns `#t' iff the key of each association in WT-TREE-1 is the
+     key of some association in WT-TREE-2, otherwise returns `#f'.
+     Viewed as a set operation, `wt-tree/subset?' is the improper subset
+     predicate.  A proper subset predicate can be constructed:
+
+          (define (proper-subset? s1 s2)
+            (and (wt-tree/subset? s1 s2)
+                 (< (wt-tree/size s1) (wt-tree/size s2))))
+
+     As a discrete map operation, `wt-tree/subset?' is the subset test
+     on the domain(s) of the map(s).  In the worst-case the time
+     required by this operation is proportional to the size of
+     WT-TREE-1.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/set-equal? WT-TREE-1 WT-TREE-2
+     Returns `#t' iff for every association in WT-TREE-1 there is an
+     association in WT-TREE-2 that has the same key, and *vice versa*.
+
+     Viewing the arguments as sets `wt-tree/set-equal?' is the set
+     equality predicate.  As a map operation it determines if two maps
+     are defined on the same domain.
+
+     This procedure is equivalent to
+
+          (lambda (wt-tree-1 wt-tree-2)
+            (and (wt-tree/subset? wt-tree-1 wt-tree-2
+                 (wt-tree/subset? wt-tree-2 wt-tree-1)))
+
+     In the worst-case the time required by this operation is
+     proportional to the size of the smaller tree.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/fold COMBINER INITIAL WT-TREE
+     This procedure reduces WT-TREE by combining all the associations,
+     using an reverse in-order traversal, so the associations are
+     visited in reverse order.  COMBINER is a procedure of three
+     arguments: a key, a datum and the accumulated result so far.
+     Provided COMBINER takes time bounded by a constant, `wt-tree/fold'
+     takes time proportional to the size of WT-TREE.
+
+     A sorted association list can be derived simply:
+
+          (wt-tree/fold  (lambda (key datum list)
+                           (cons (cons key datum) list))
+                         '()
+                         WT-TREE))
+
+     The data in the associations can be summed like this:
+
+          (wt-tree/fold  (lambda (key datum sum) (+ sum datum))
+                         0
+                         WT-TREE)
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/for-each ACTION WT-TREE
+     This procedure traverses the tree in-order, applying ACTION to
+     each association.  The associations are processed in increasing
+     order of their keys.  ACTION is a procedure of two arguments which
+     take the key and datum respectively of the association.  Provided
+     ACTION takes time bounded by a constant, `wt-tree/for-each' takes
+     time proportional to in the size of WT-TREE.  The example prints
+     the tree:
+
+          (wt-tree/for-each (lambda (key value)
+                              (display (list key value)))
+                            WT-TREE))

+Indexing Operations on Weight-Balanced Trees
+--------------------------------------------
+
+  Weight balanced trees support operations that view the tree as sorted
+sequence of associations.  Elements of the sequence can be accessed by
+position, and the position of an element in the sequence can be
+determined, both in logarthmic time.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/index WT-TREE INDEX
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/index-datum WT-TREE INDEX
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/index-pair WT-TREE INDEX
+     Returns the 0-based INDEXth association of WT-TREE in the sorted
+     sequence under the tree's ordering relation on the keys.
+     `wt-tree/index' returns the INDEXth key, `wt-tree/index-datum'
+     returns the datum associated with the INDEXth key and
+     `wt-tree/index-pair' returns a new pair `(KEY . DATUM)' which is
+     the `cons' of the INDEXth key and its datum.  The average and
+     worst-case times required by this operation are proportional to
+     the logarithm of the number of associations in the tree.
+
+     These operations signal an error if the tree is empty, if
+     INDEX`<0', or if INDEX is greater than or equal to the number of
+     associations in the tree.
+
+     Indexing can be used to find the median and maximum keys in the
+     tree as follows:
+
+          median:   (wt-tree/index WT-TREE
+                                   (quotient (wt-tree/size WT-TREE) 2))
+          
+          maximum:  (wt-tree/index WT-TREE
+                                   (-1+ (wt-tree/size WT-TREE)))
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/rank WT-TREE KEY
+     Determines the 0-based position of KEY in the sorted sequence of
+     the keys under the tree's ordering relation, or `#f' if the tree
+     has no association with for KEY.  This procedure returns either an
+     exact non-negative integer or `#f'.  The average and worst-case
+     times required by this operation are proportional to the logarithm
+     of the number of associations in the tree.
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/min WT-TREE
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/min-datum WT-TREE
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/min-pair WT-TREE
+     Returns the association of WT-TREE that has the least key under
+     the tree's ordering relation.  `wt-tree/min' returns the least key,
+     `wt-tree/min-datum' returns the datum associated with the least key
+     and `wt-tree/min-pair' returns a new pair `(key . datum)' which is
+     the `cons' of the minimum key and its datum.  The average and
+     worst-case times required by this operation are proportional to the
+     logarithm of the number of associations in the tree.
+
+     These operations signal an error if the tree is empty.  They could
+     be written
+          (define (wt-tree/min tree)        (wt-tree/index tree 0))
+          (define (wt-tree/min-datum tree)  (wt-tree/index-datum tree 0))
+          (define (wt-tree/min-pair tree)   (wt-tree/index-pair tree 0))
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/delete-min WT-TREE
+     Returns a new tree containing all of the associations in WT-TREE
+     except the association with the least key under the WT-TREE's
+     ordering relation.  An error is signalled if the tree is empty.
+     The average and worst-case times required by this operation are
+     proportional to the logarithm of the number of associations in the
+     tree.  This operation is equivalent to
+
+          (wt-tree/delete WT-TREE (wt-tree/min WT-TREE))
+
+ - procedure+: wt-tree/delete-min! WT-TREE
+     Removes the association with the least key under the WT-TREE's
+     ordering relation.  An error is signalled if the tree is empty.
+     The average and worst-case times required by this operation are
+     proportional to the logarithm of the number of associations in the
+     tree.  This operation is equivalent to
+
+          (wt-tree/delete! WT-TREE (wt-tree/min WT-TREE))

+Arrays
+------
+
+  `(require 'array)'
+
+ - Function: array? OBJ
+     Returns `#t' if the OBJ is an array, and `#f' if not.
+
+ - Function: make-array INITIAL-VALUE BOUND1 BOUND2 ...
+     Creates and returns an array that has as many dimensins as there
+     are BOUNDs and fills it with INITIAL-VALUE.
+
+  When constructing an array, BOUND is either an inclusive range of
+indices expressed as a two element list, or an upper bound expressed as
+a single integer.  So
+     (make-array 'foo 3 3) == (make-array 'foo '(0 2) '(0 2))
+
+ - Function: make-shared-array ARRAY MAPPER BOUND1 BOUND2 ...
+     `make-shared-array' can be used to create shared subarrays of other
+     arrays.  The MAPPER is a function that translates coordinates in
+     the new array into coordinates in the old array.  A MAPPER must be
+     linear, and its range must stay within the bounds of the old
+     array, but it can be otherwise arbitrary.  A simple example:
+          (define fred (make-array #f 8 8))
+          (define freds-diagonal
+            (make-shared-array fred (lambda (i) (list i i)) 8))
+          (array-set! freds-diagonal 'foo 3)
+          (array-ref fred 3 3)
+             => FOO
+          (define freds-center
+            (make-shared-array fred (lambda (i j) (list (+ 3 i) (+ 3 j)))
+                               2 2))
+          (array-ref freds-center 0 0)
+             => FOO
+
+ - Function: array-rank OBJ
+     Returns the number of dimensions of OBJ.  If OBJ is not an array,
+     0 is returned.
+
+ - Function: array-shape ARRAY
+     `array-shape' returns a list of inclusive bounds.  So:
+          (array-shape (make-array 'foo 3 5))
+             => ((0 2) (0 4))
+
+ - Function: array-dimensions ARRAY
+     `array-dimensions' is similar to `array-shape' but replaces
+     elements with a 0 minimum with one greater than the maximum. So:
+          (array-dimensions (make-array 'foo 3 5))
+             => (3 5)
+
+ - Procedure: array-in-bounds? ARRAY INDEX1 INDEX2 ...
+     Returns `#t' if its arguments would be acceptable to `array-ref'.
+
+ - Function: array-ref ARRAY INDEX1 INDEX2 ...
+     Returns the element at the `(INDEX1, INDEX2)' element in ARRAY.
+
+ - Procedure: array-set! ARRAY NEW-VALUE INDEX1 INDEX2 ...
+
+ - Function: array-1d-ref ARRAY INDEX
+ - Function: array-2d-ref ARRAY INDEX1 INDEX2
+ - Function: array-3d-ref ARRAY INDEX1 INDEX2 INDEX3
+
+ - Procedure: array-1d-set! ARRAY NEW-VALUE INDEX
+ - Procedure: array-2d-set! ARRAY NEW-VALUE INDEX1 INDEX2
+ - Procedure: array-3d-set! ARRAY NEW-VALUE INDEX1 INDEX2 INDEX3
+
+  The functions are just fast versions of `array-ref' and `array-set!'
+that take a fixed number of arguments, and perform no bounds checking.
+
+  If you comment out the bounds checking code, this is about as
+efficient as you could ask for without help from the compiler.
+
+  An exercise left to the reader: implement the rest of APL.

+Array Mapping
+-------------
+
+  `(require 'array-for-each)'
+
+ - Function: array-map! ARRAY0 PROC ARRAY1 ...
+     ARRAY1, ... must have the same number of dimensions as ARRAY0 and
+     have a range for each index which includes the range for the
+     corresponding index in ARRAY0.  PROC is applied to each tuple of
+     elements of ARRAY1 ... and the result is stored as the
+     corresponding element in ARRAY0.  The value returned is
+     unspecified.  The order of application is unspecified.
+
+ - Function: array-for-each PROC ARRAY0 ...
+     PROC is applied to each tuple of elements of ARRAY0 ...  in
+     row-major order.  The value returned is unspecified.
+
+ - Function: array-indexes ARRAY
+     Returns an array of lists of indexes for ARRAY such that, if LI is
+     a list of indexes for which ARRAY is defined, (equal?  LI (apply
+     array-ref (array-indexes ARRAY) LI)).
+
+ - Function: array-index-map! ARRAY PROC
+     applies PROC to the indices of each element of ARRAY in turn,
+     storing the result in the corresponding element.  The value
+     returned and the order of application are unspecified.
+
+     One can implement ARRAY-INDEXES as
+          (define (array-indexes array)
+              (let ((ra (apply make-array #f (array-shape array))))
+                (array-index-map! ra (lambda x x))
+                ra))
+     Another example:
+          (define (apl:index-generator n)
+              (let ((v (make-uniform-vector n 1)))
+                (array-index-map! v (lambda (i) i))
+                v))
+
+ - Function: array-copy! SOURCE DESTINATION
+     Copies every element from vector or array SOURCE to the
+     corresponding element of DESTINATION.  DESTINATION must have the
+     same rank as SOURCE, and be at least as large in each dimension.
+     The order of copying is unspecified.

+
+Association Lists
+-----------------
+
+  `(require 'alist)'
+
+  Alist functions provide utilities for treating a list of key-value
+pairs as an associative database.  These functions take an equality
+predicate, PRED, as an argument.  This predicate should be repeatable,
+symmetric, and transitive.
+
+  Alist functions can be used with a secondary index method such as hash
+tables for improved performance.
+
+ - Function: predicate->asso PRED
+     Returns an "association function" (like `assq', `assv', or
+     `assoc') corresponding to PRED.  The returned function returns a
+     key-value pair whose key is `pred'-equal to its first argument or
+     `#f' if no key in the alist is PRED-equal to the first argument.
+
+ - Function: alist-inquirer PRED
+     Returns a procedure of 2 arguments, ALIST and KEY, which returns
+     the value associated with KEY in ALIST or `#f' if KEY does not
+     appear in ALIST.
+
+ - Function: alist-associator PRED
+     Returns a procedure of 3 arguments, ALIST, KEY, and VALUE, which
+     returns an alist with KEY and VALUE associated.  Any previous
+     value associated with KEY will be lost.  This returned procedure
+     may or may not have side effects on its ALIST argument.  An
+     example of correct usage is:
+          (define put (alist-associator string-ci=?))
+          (define alist '())
+          (set! alist (put alist "Foo" 9))
+
+ - Function: alist-remover PRED
+     Returns a procedure of 2 arguments, ALIST and KEY, which returns
+     an alist with an association whose KEY is key removed.  This
+     returned procedure may or may not have side effects on its ALIST
+     argument.  An example of correct usage is:
+          (define rem (alist-remover string-ci=?))
+          (set! alist (rem alist "foo"))
+
+ - Function: alist-map PROC ALIST
+     Returns a new association list formed by mapping PROC over the
+     keys and values of ALIST.   PROC must be a function of 2 arguments
+     which returns the new value part.
+
+ - Function: alist-for-each PROC ALIST
+     Applies PROC to each pair of keys and values of ALIST.  PROC must
+     be a function of 2 arguments.  The returned value is unspecified.

+
+Byte
+----
+
+  `(require 'byte)'
+
+  Some algorithms are expressed in terms of arrays of small integers.
+Using Scheme strings to implement these arrays is not portable vis-a-vis
+the correspondence between integers and characters and non-ascii
+character sets.  These functions abstract the notion of a "byte".
+
+ - Function: byte-ref BYTES K
+     K must be a valid index of BYTES.  `byte-ref' returns byte K of
+     BYTES using zero-origin indexing.
+
+ - Procedure: byte-set! BYTES K BYTE
+     K must be a valid index of BYTES%, and BYTE must be a small
+     integer.  `Byte-set!' stores BYTE in element K of BYTES and
+     returns an unspecified value.
+
+ - Function: make-bytes K
+ - Function: make-bytes K BYTE
+     `Make-bytes' returns a newly allocated byte-array of length K.  If
+     BYTE is given, then all elements of the byte-array are initialized
+     to BYTE, otherwise the contents of the byte-array are unspecified.
+
+
+ - Function: bytes-length BYTES
+     `bytes-length' returns length of byte-array BYTES.
+
+
+ - Function: write-byte BYTE
+ - Function: write-byte BYTE PORT
+     Writes the byte BYTE (not an external representation of the byte)
+     to the given PORT and returns an unspecified value.  The PORT
+     argument may be omitted, in which case it defaults to the value
+     returned by `current-output-port'.
+
+
+ - Function: read-byte
+ - Function: read-byte PORT
+     Returns the next byte available from the input PORT, updating the
+     PORT to point to the following byte.  If no more bytes are
+     available, an end of file object is returned.  PORT may be
+     omitted, in which case it defaults to the value returned by
+     `current-input-port'.
+
+
+ - Function: bytes BYTE ...
+     Returns a newly allocated byte-array composed of the arguments.
+
+
+ - Function: bytes->list BYTES
+ - Function: list->bytes BYTES
+     `Bytes->list' returns a newly allocated list of the bytes that
+     make up the given byte-array.  `List->bytes' returns a newly
+     allocated byte-array formed from the small integers in the list
+     BYTES. `Bytes->list' and `list->bytes' are inverses so far as
+     `equal?' is concerned.

+
+Collections
+-----------
+
+  `(require 'collect)'
+
+  Routines for managing collections.  Collections are aggregate data
+structures supporting iteration over their elements, similar to the
+Dylan(TM) language, but with a different interface.  They have
+"elements" indexed by corresponding "keys", although the keys may be
+implicit (as with lists).
+
+  New types of collections may be defined as YASOS objects (*note
+Yasos::.).  They must support the following operations:
+   * `(collection? SELF)' (always returns `#t');
+
+   * `(size SELF)' returns the number of elements in the collection;
+
+   * `(print SELF PORT)' is a specialized print operation for the
+     collection which prints a suitable representation on the given
+     PORT or returns it as a string if PORT is `#t';
+
+   * `(gen-elts SELF)' returns a thunk which on successive invocations
+     yields elements of SELF in order or gives an error if it is
+     invoked more than `(size SELF)' times;
+
+   * `(gen-keys SELF)' is like `gen-elts', but yields the collection's
+     keys in order.
+
+  They might support specialized `for-each-key' and `for-each-elt'
+operations.
+
+ - Function: collection? OBJ
+     A predicate, true initially of lists, vectors and strings.  New
+     sorts of collections must answer `#t' to `collection?'.
+
+ - Procedure: map-elts PROC . COLLECTIONS
+ - Procedure: do-elts PROC . COLLECTIONS
+     PROC is a procedure taking as many arguments as there are
+     COLLECTIONS (at least one).  The COLLECTIONS are iterated over in
+     their natural order and PROC is applied to the elements yielded by
+     each iteration in turn.  The order in which the arguments are
+     supplied corresponds to te order in which the COLLECTIONS appear.
+     `do-elts' is used when only side-effects of PROC are of interest
+     and its return value is unspecified.  `map-elts' returns a
+     collection (actually a vector) of the results of the applications
+     of PROC.
+
+     Example:
+          (map-elts + (list 1 2 3) (vector 1 2 3))
+             => #(2 4 6)
+
+ - Procedure: map-keys PROC . COLLECTIONS
+ - Procedure: do-keys PROC . COLLECTIONS
+     These are analogous to `map-elts' and `do-elts', but each
+     iteration is over the COLLECTIONS' *keys* rather than their
+     elements.
+
+     Example:
+          (map-keys + (list 1 2 3) (vector 1 2 3))
+             => #(0 2 4)
+
+ - Procedure: for-each-key COLLECTION PROC
+ - Procedure: for-each-elt COLLECTION PROC
+     These are like `do-keys' and `do-elts' but only for a single
+     collection; they are potentially more efficient.
+
+ - Function: reduce PROC SEED . COLLECTIONS
+     A generalization of the list-based `comlist:reduce-init' (*note
+     Lists as sequences::.) to collections which will shadow the
+     list-based version if `(require 'collect)' follows `(require
+     'common-list-functions)' (*note Common List Functions::.).
+
+     Examples:
+          (reduce + 0 (vector 1 2 3))
+             => 6
+          (reduce union '() '((a b c) (b c d) (d a)))
+             => (c b d a).
+
+ - Function: any? PRED . COLLECTIONS
+     A generalization of the list-based `some' (*note Lists as
+     sequences::.) to collections.
+
+     Example:
+          (any? odd? (list 2 3 4 5))
+             => #t
+
+ - Function: every? PRED . COLLECTIONS
+     A generalization of the list-based `every' (*note Lists as
+     sequences::.) to collections.
+
+     Example:
+          (every? collection? '((1 2) #(1 2)))
+             => #t
+
+ - Function: empty? COLLECTION
+     Returns `#t' iff there are no elements in COLLECTION.
+
+     `(empty? COLLECTION) == (zero? (size COLLECTION))'
+
+ - Function: size COLLECTION
+     Returns the number of elements in COLLECTION.
+
+ - Function: Setter LIST-REF
+     See *Note Setters:: for a definition of "setter".  N.B.  `(setter
+     list-ref)' doesn't work properly for element 0 of a list.
+
+  Here is a sample collection: `simple-table' which is also a `table'.

+     Create and returns a new "dynamic" whose global value is OBJ.
+
+ - Function: dynamic? OBJ
+     Returns true if and only if OBJ is a dynamic.  No object
+     satisfying `dynamic?' satisfies any of the other standard type
+     predicates.
+
+ - Function: dynamic-ref DYN
+     Return the value of the given dynamic in the current dynamic
+     environment.
+
+ - Procedure: dynamic-set! DYN OBJ
+     Change the value of the given dynamic to OBJ in the current
+     dynamic environment.  The returned value is unspecified.
+
+ - Function: call-with-dynamic-binding DYN OBJ THUNK
+     Invoke and return the value of the given thunk in a new, nested
+     dynamic environment in which the given dynamic has been bound to a
+     new location whose initial contents are the value OBJ.  This
+     dynamic environment has precisely the same extent as the
+     invocation of the thunk and is thus captured by continuations
+     created within that invocation and re-established by those
+     continuations when they are invoked.
+
+  The `dynamic-bind' macro is not implemented.

+Hash Tables
+-----------
+
+  `(require 'hash-table)'
+
+ - Function: predicate->hash PRED
+     Returns a hash function (like `hashq', `hashv', or `hash')
+     corresponding to the equality predicate PRED.  PRED should be
+     `eq?', `eqv?', `equal?', `=', `char=?', `char-ci=?', `string=?', or
+     `string-ci=?'.
+
+  A hash table is a vector of association lists.
+
+ - Function: make-hash-table K
+     Returns a vector of K empty (association) lists.
+
+  Hash table functions provide utilities for an associative database.
+These functions take an equality predicate, PRED, as an argument.  PRED
+should be `eq?', `eqv?', `equal?', `=', `char=?', `char-ci=?',
+`string=?', or `string-ci=?'.
+
+ - Function: predicate->hash-asso PRED
+     Returns a hash association function of 2 arguments, KEY and
+     HASHTAB, corresponding to PRED.  The returned function returns a
+     key-value pair whose key is PRED-equal to its first argument or
+     `#f' if no key in HASHTAB is PRED-equal to the first argument.
+
+ - Function: hash-inquirer PRED
+     Returns a procedure of 3 arguments, `hashtab' and `key', which
+     returns the value associated with `key' in `hashtab' or `#f' if
+     key does not appear in `hashtab'.
+
+ - Function: hash-associator PRED
+     Returns a procedure of 3 arguments, HASHTAB, KEY, and VALUE, which
+     modifies HASHTAB so that KEY and VALUE associated.  Any previous
+     value associated with KEY will be lost.
+
+ - Function: hash-remover PRED
+     Returns a procedure of 2 arguments, HASHTAB and KEY, which
+     modifies HASHTAB so that the association whose key is KEY is
+     removed.
+
+ - Function: hash-map PROC HASH-TABLE
+     Returns a new hash table formed by mapping PROC over the keys and
+     values of HASH-TABLE.  PROC must be a function of 2 arguments
+     which returns the new value part.
+
+ - Function: hash-for-each PROC HASH-TABLE
+     Applies PROC to each pair of keys and values of HASH-TABLE.  PROC
+     must be a function of 2 arguments.  The returned value is
+     unspecified.

+Hashing
+-------
+
+  `(require 'hash)'
+
+  These hashing functions are for use in quickly classifying objects.
+Hash tables use these functions.
+
+ - Function: hashq OBJ K
+ - Function: hashv OBJ K
+ - Function: hash OBJ K
+     Returns an exact non-negative integer less than K.  For each
+     non-negative integer less than K there are arguments OBJ for which
+     the hashing functions applied to OBJ and K returns that integer.
+
+     For `hashq', `(eq? obj1 obj2)' implies `(= (hashq obj1 k) (hashq
+     obj2))'.
+
+     For `hashv', `(eqv? obj1 obj2)' implies `(= (hashv obj1 k) (hashv
+     obj2))'.
+
+     For `hash', `(equal? obj1 obj2)' implies `(= (hash obj1 k) (hash
+     obj2))'.
+
+     `hash', `hashv', and `hashq' return in time bounded by a constant.
+     Notice that items having the same `hash' implies the items have
+     the same `hashv' implies the items have the same `hashq'.
+
+  `(require 'sierpinski)'
+
+ - Function: make-sierpinski-indexer MAX-COORDINATE
+     Returns a procedure (eg hash-function) of 2 numeric arguments which
+     preserves *nearness* in its mapping from NxN to N.
+
+     MAX-COORDINATE is the maximum coordinate (a positive integer) of a
+     population of points.  The returned procedures is a function that
+     takes the x and y coordinates of a point, (non-negative integers)
+     and returns an integer corresponding to the relative position of
+     that point along a Sierpinski curve.  (You can think of this as
+     computing a (pseudo-) inverse of the Sierpinski spacefilling
+     curve.)
+
+     Example use: Make an indexer (hash-function) for integer points
+     lying in square of integer grid points [0,99]x[0,99]:
+          (define space-key (make-sierpinski-indexer 100))
+     Now let's compute the index of some points:
+          (space-key 24 78)               => 9206
+          (space-key 23 80)               => 9172
+
+     Note that locations (24, 78) and (23, 80) are near in index and
+     therefore, because the Sierpinski spacefilling curve is
+     continuous, we know they must also be near in the plane.  Nearness
+     in the plane does not, however, necessarily correspond to nearness
+     in index, although it *tends* to be so.
+
+     Example applications:
+        * Sort points by Sierpinski index to get heuristic solution to
+          *travelling salesman problem*.  For details of performance,
+          see L. Platzman and J. Bartholdi, "Spacefilling curves and the
+          Euclidean travelling salesman problem", JACM 36(4):719-737
+          (October 1989) and references therein.
+
+        * Use Sierpinski index as key by which to store 2-dimensional
+          data in a 1-dimensional data structure (such as a table).
+          Then locations that are near each other in 2-d space will
+          tend to be near each other in 1-d data structure; and
+          locations that are near in 1-d data structure will be near in
+          2-d space.  This can significantly speed retrieval from
+          secondary storage because contiguous regions in the plane
+          will tend to correspond to contiguous regions in secondary
+          storage.  (This is a standard technique for managing CAD/CAM
+          or geographic data.)
+
+
+  `(require 'soundex)'
+
+ - Function: soundex NAME
+     Computes the *soundex* hash of NAME.  Returns a string of an
+     initial letter and up to three digits between 0 and 6.  Soundex
+     supposedly has the property that names that sound similar in normal
+     English pronunciation tend to map to the same key.
+
+     Soundex was a classic algorithm used for manual filing of personal
+     records before the advent of computers.  It performs adequately for
+     English names but has trouble with other nationalities.
+
+     See Knuth, Vol. 3 `Sorting and searching', pp 391-2
+
+     To manage unusual inputs, `soundex' omits all non-alphabetic
+     characters.  Consequently, in this implementation:
+
+          (soundex <string of blanks>)    => ""
+          (soundex "")                    => ""
+
+     Examples from Knuth:
+
+          (map soundex '("Euler" "Gauss" "Hilbert" "Knuth"
+                                 "Lloyd" "Lukasiewicz"))
+                  => ("E460" "G200" "H416" "K530" "L300" "L222")
+          
+          (map soundex '("Ellery" "Ghosh" "Heilbronn" "Kant"
+                                  "Ladd" "Lissajous"))
+                  => ("E460" "G200" "H416" "K530" "L300" "L222")
+
+     Some cases in which the algorithm fails (Knuth):
+
+          (map soundex '("Rogers" "Rodgers"))     => ("R262" "R326")
+          
+          (map soundex '("Sinclair" "St. Clair")) => ("S524" "S324")
+          
+          (map soundex '("Tchebysheff" "Chebyshev")) => ("T212" "C121")

+Macroless Object System
+-----------------------
+
+  `(require 'object)'
+
+  This is the Macroless Object System written by Wade Humeniuk
+(whumeniu@datap.ca).  Conceptual Tributes: *Note Yasos::, MacScheme's
+%object, CLOS, Lack of R4RS macros.
+
+Concepts
+--------
+
+OBJECT
+     An object is an ordered association-list (by `eq?') of methods
+     (procedures).  Methods can be added (`make-method!'), deleted
+     (`unmake-method!') and retrieved (`get-method').  Objects may
+     inherit methods from other objects.  The object binds to the
+     environment it was created in, allowing closures to be used to
+     hide private procedures and data.
+
+GENERIC-METHOD
+     A generic-method associates (in terms of `eq?') object's method.
+     This allows scheme function style to be used for objects.  The
+     calling scheme for using a generic method is `(generic-method
+     object param1 param2 ...)'.
+
+METHOD
+     A method is a procedure that exists in the object.  To use a method
+     get-method must be called to look-up the method.  Generic methods
+     implement the get-method functionality.  Methods may be added to an
+     object associated with any scheme obj in terms of eq?
+
+GENERIC-PREDICATE
+     A generic method that returns a boolean value for any scheme obj.
+
+PREDICATE
+     A object's method asscociated with a generic-predicate. Returns
+     `#t'.
+
+Procedures
+----------
+
+ - Function: make-object ANCESTOR ...
+     Returns an object.  Current object implementation is a tagged
+     vector.  ANCESTORs are optional and must be objects in terms of
+     object?.  ANCESTORs methods are included in the object.  Multiple
+     ANCESTORs might associate the same generic-method with a method.
+     In this case the method of the ANCESTOR first appearing in the
+     list is the one returned by `get-method'.
+
+ - Function: object? OBJ
+     Returns boolean value whether OBJ was created by make-object.
+
+ - Function: make-generic-method EXCEPTION-PROCEDURE
+     Returns a procedure which be associated with an object's methods.
+     If EXCEPTION-PROCEDURE is specified then it is used to process
+     non-objects.
+
+ - Function: make-generic-predicate
+     Returns a boolean procedure for any scheme object.
+
+ - Function: make-method! OBJECT GENERIC-METHOD METHOD
+     Associates METHOD to the GENERIC-METHOD in the object.  The METHOD
+     overrides any previous association with the GENERIC-METHOD within
+     the object.  Using `unmake-method!'  will restore the object's
+     previous association with the GENERIC-METHOD.  METHOD must be a
+     procedure.
+
+ - Function: make-predicate! OBJECT GENERIC-PRECIATE
+     Makes a predicate method associated with the GENERIC-PREDICATE.
+
+ - Function: unmake-method! OBJECT GENERIC-METHOD
+     Removes an object's association with a GENERIC-METHOD .
+
+ - Function: get-method OBJECT GENERIC-METHOD
+     Returns the object's method associated (if any) with the
+     GENERIC-METHOD.  If no associated method exists an error is
+     flagged.

+
+ - Function: heap-length HEAP
+     Returns the number of elements in HEAP.

+
+ - Function: heap-extract-max! HEAP
+     Returns the item which is larger than all others according to the

+ - Procedure: enquque! Q DATUM
+     Adds DATUM to the rear of queue Q.
+
+  All of the following functions raise an error if the queue Q is empty.
+

+     Returns a procedure for constructing new members of the type
+     represented by RTD.  The returned procedure accepts exactly as
+     many arguments as there are symbols in the given list,
+     FIELD-NAMES; these are used, in order, as the initial values of
+     those fields in a new record, which is returned by the constructor
+     procedure.  The values of any fields not named in that list are
+     unspecified.  The FIELD-NAMES argument defaults to the list of
+     field names in the call to `make-record-type' that created the
+     type represented by RTD; if the FIELD-NAMES argument is provided,
+     it is an error if it contains any duplicates or any symbols not in
+     the default list.
+
+ - Function: record-predicate RTD
+     Returns a procedure for testing membership in the type represented
+     by RTD.  The returned procedure accepts exactly one argument and
+     returns a true value if the argument is a member of the indicated
+     record type; it returns a false value otherwise.
+
+ - Function: record-accessor RTD FIELD-NAME
+     Returns a procedure for reading the value of a particular field of
+     a member of the type represented by RTD.  The returned procedure
+     accepts exactly one argument which must be a record of the
+     appropriate type; it returns the current value of the field named
+     by the symbol FIELD-NAME in that record.  The symbol FIELD-NAME
+     must be a member of the list of field-names in the call to
+     `make-record-type' that created the type represented by RTD.
+
+ - Function: record-modifier RTD FIELD-NAME
+     Returns a procedure for writing the value of a particular field of
+     a member of the type represented by RTD.  The returned procedure
+     accepts exactly two arguments: first, a record of the appropriate
+     type, and second, an arbitrary Scheme value; it modifies the field
+     named by the symbol FIELD-NAME in that record to contain the given
+     value.  The returned value of the modifier procedure is
+     unspecified.  The symbol FIELD-NAME must be a member of the list
+     of field-names in the call to `make-record-type' that created the
+     type represented by RTD.
+
+  In May of 1996, as a product of discussion on the `rrrs-authors'
+mailing list, I rewrote `record.scm' to portably implement type
+disjointness for record data types.
+
+  As long as an implementation's procedures are opaque and the `record'
+code is loaded before other programs, this will give disjoint record
+types which are unforgeable and incorruptible by R4RS procedures.
+
+  As a consequence, the procedures `record?', `record-type-descriptor',
+`record-type-name'.and `record-type-field-names' are no longer
+supported.

+List construction
+.................
+
+ - Function: make-list K . INIT
+     `make-list' creates and returns a list of K elements.  If INIT is
+     included, all elements in the list are initialized to INIT.
+
+     Example:
+          (make-list 3)
+             => (#<unspecified> #<unspecified> #<unspecified>)
+          (make-list 5 'foo)
+             => (foo foo foo foo foo)
+
+ - Function: list* X . Y
+     Works like `list' except that the cdr of the last pair is the last
+     argument unless there is only one argument, when the result is
+     just that argument.  Sometimes called `cons*'.  E.g.:
+          (list* 1)
+             => 1
+          (list* 1 2 3)
+             => (1 2 . 3)
+          (list* 1 2 '(3 4))
+             => (1 2 3 4)
+          (list* ARGS '())
+             == (list ARGS)
+
+ - Function: copy-list LST
+     `copy-list' makes a copy of LST using new pairs and returns it.
+     Only the top level of the list is copied, i.e., pairs forming
+     elements of the copied list remain `eq?' to the corresponding
+     elements of the original; the copy is, however, not `eq?' to the
+     original, but is `equal?' to it.
+
+     Example:
+          (copy-list '(foo foo foo))
+             => (foo foo foo)
+          (define q '(foo bar baz bang))
+          (define p q)
+          (eq? p q)
+             => #t
+          (define r (copy-list q))
+          (eq? q r)
+             => #f
+          (equal? q r)
+             => #t
+          (define bar '(bar))
+          (eq? bar (car (copy-list (list bar 'foo))))
+          => #t
+
+

+
+Lists as sets
+.............
+
+  `eqv?' is used to test for membership by procedures which treat lists
+as sets.
+
+ - Function: adjoin E L
+     `adjoin' returns the adjoint of the element E and the list L.
+     That is, if E is in L, `adjoin' returns L, otherwise, it returns
+     `(cons E L)'.
+
+     Example:
+          (adjoin 'baz '(bar baz bang))
+             => (bar baz bang)
+          (adjoin 'foo '(bar baz bang))
+             => (foo bar baz bang)
+
+ - Function: union L1 L2
+     `union' returns the combination of L1 and L2.  Duplicates between
+     L1 and L2 are culled.  Duplicates within L1 or within L2 may or
+     may not be removed.
+
+     Example:
+          (union '(1 2 3 4) '(5 6 7 8))
+             => (4 3 2 1 5 6 7 8)
+          (union '(1 2 3 4) '(3 4 5 6))
+             => (2 1 3 4 5 6)
+
+ - Function: intersection L1 L2
+     `intersection' returns all elements that are in both L1 and L2.
+
+     Example:
+          (intersection '(1 2 3 4) '(3 4 5 6))
+             => (3 4)
+          (intersection '(1 2 3 4) '(5 6 7 8))
+             => ()
+
+ - Function: set-difference L1 L2
+     `set-difference' returns the union of all elements that are in L1
+     but not in L2.
+
+     Example:
+          (set-difference '(1 2 3 4) '(3 4 5 6))
+             => (1 2)
+          (set-difference '(1 2 3 4) '(1 2 3 4 5 6))
+             => ()
+
+ - Function: member-if PRED LST
+     `member-if' returns LST if `(PRED ELEMENT)' is `#t' for any
+     ELEMENT in LST.  Returns `#f' if PRED does not apply to any
+     ELEMENT in LST.
+
+     Example:
+          (member-if vector? '(1 2 3 4))
+             => #f
+          (member-if number? '(1 2 3 4))
+             => (1 2 3 4)
+
+ - Function: some PRED LST . MORE-LSTS
+     PRED is a boolean function of as many arguments as there are list
+     arguments to `some' i.e., LST plus any optional arguments.  PRED
+     is applied to successive elements of the list arguments in order.
+     `some' returns `#t' as soon as one of these applications returns
+     `#t', and is `#f' if none returns `#t'.  All the lists should have
+     the same length.
+
+     Example:
+          (some odd? '(1 2 3 4))
+             => #t
+          
+          (some odd? '(2 4 6 8))
+             => #f
+          
+          (some > '(2 3) '(1 4))
+             => #f
+
+ - Function: every PRED LST . MORE-LSTS
+     `every' is analogous to `some' except it returns `#t' if every
+     application of PRED is `#t' and `#f' otherwise.
+
+     Example:
+          (every even? '(1 2 3 4))
+             => #f
+          
+          (every even? '(2 4 6 8))
+             => #t
+          
+          (every > '(2 3) '(1 4))
+             => #f
+
+ - Function: notany PRED . LST
+     `notany' is analogous to `some' but returns `#t' if no application
+     of PRED returns `#t' or `#f' as soon as any one does.
+
+ - Function: notevery PRED . LST
+     `notevery' is analogous to `some' but returns `#t' as soon as an
+     application of PRED returns `#f', and `#f' otherwise.
+
+     Example:
+          (notevery even? '(1 2 3 4))
+             => #t
+          
+          (notevery even? '(2 4 6 8))
+             => #f
+
+ - Function: find-if PRED LST
+     `find-if' searches for the first ELEMENT in LST such that `(PRED
+     ELEMENT)' returns `#t'.  If it finds any such ELEMENT in LST,
+     ELEMENT is returned.  Otherwise, `#f' is returned.
+
+     Example:
+          (find-if number? '(foo 1 bar 2))
+             => 1
+          
+          (find-if number? '(foo bar baz bang))
+             => #f
+          
+          (find-if symbol? '(1 2 foo bar))
+             => foo
+
+ - Function: remove ELT LST
+     `remove' removes all occurrences of ELT from LST using `eqv?' to
+     test for equality and returns everything that's left.  N.B.: other
+     implementations (Chez, Scheme->C and T, at least) use `equal?' as
+     the equality test.
+
+     Example:
+          (remove 1 '(1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5))
+             => (2 3 4 5)
+          
+          (remove 'foo '(bar baz bang))
+             => (bar baz bang)
+
+ - Function: remove-if PRED LST
+     `remove-if' removes all ELEMENTs from LST where `(PRED ELEMENT)'
+     is `#t' and returns everything that's left.
+
+     Example:
+          (remove-if number? '(1 2 3 4))
+             => ()
+          
+          (remove-if even? '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8))
+             => (1 3 5 7)
+
+ - Function: remove-if-not PRED LST
+     `remove-if-not' removes all ELEMENTs from LST for which `(PRED
+     ELEMENT)' is `#f' and returns everything that's left.
+
+     Example:
+          (remove-if-not number? '(foo bar baz))
+             => ()
+          (remove-if-not odd? '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8))
+             => (1 3 5 7)
+
+ - Function: has-duplicates? LST
+     returns `#t' if 2 members of LST are `equal?', `#f' otherwise.
+
+     Example:
+          (has-duplicates? '(1 2 3 4))
+             => #f
+          
+          (has-duplicates? '(2 4 3 4))
+             => #t
+
+  The procedure `remove-duplicates' uses `member' (rather than `memv').
+
+ - Function: remove-duplicates LST
+     returns a copy of LST with its duplicate members removed.
+     Elements are considered duplicate if they are `equal?'.
+
+     Example:
+          (remove-duplicates '(1 2 3 4))
+             => (4 3 2 1)
+          
+          (remove-duplicates '(2 4 3 4))
+             => (3 4 2)

+Lists as sequences
+..................
+
+ - Function: position OBJ LST
+     `position' returns the 0-based position of OBJ in LST, or `#f' if
+     OBJ does not occur in LST.
+
+     Example:
+          (position 'foo '(foo bar baz bang))
+             => 0
+          (position 'baz '(foo bar baz bang))
+             => 2
+          (position 'oops '(foo bar baz bang))
+             => #f
+
+ - Function: reduce P LST
+     `reduce' combines all the elements of a sequence using a binary
+     operation (the combination is left-associative).  For example,
+     using `+', one can add up all the elements.  `reduce' allows you to
+     apply a function which accepts only two arguments to more than 2
+     objects.  Functional programmers usually refer to this as "foldl".
+     `collect:reduce' (*note Collections::.) provides a version of
+     `collect' generalized to collections.
+
+     Example:
+          (reduce + '(1 2 3 4))
+             => 10
+          (define (bad-sum . l) (reduce + l))
+          (bad-sum 1 2 3 4)
+             == (reduce + (1 2 3 4))
+             == (+ (+ (+ 1 2) 3) 4)
+          => 10
+          (bad-sum)
+             == (reduce + ())
+             => ()
+          (reduce string-append '("hello" "cruel" "world"))
+             == (string-append (string-append "hello" "cruel") "world")
+             => "hellocruelworld"
+          (reduce anything '())
+             => ()
+          (reduce anything '(x))
+             => x
+
+     What follows is a rather non-standard implementation of `reverse'
+     in terms of `reduce' and a combinator elsewhere called "C".

+          (define commute
+            (lambda (f)

+
+ - Function: reduce-init P INIT LST
+     `reduce-init' is the same as reduce, except that it implicitly
+     inserts INIT at the start of the list.  `reduce-init' is preferred
+     if you want to handle the null list, the one-element, and lists
+     with two or more elements consistently.  It is common to use the
+     operator's idempotent as the initializer.  Functional programmers
+     usually call this "foldl".
+
+     Example:
+          (define (sum . l) (reduce-init + 0 l))
+          (sum 1 2 3 4)
+             == (reduce-init + 0 (1 2 3 4))
+             == (+ (+ (+ (+ 0 1) 2) 3) 4)
+             => 10
+          (sum)
+             == (reduce-init + 0 '())
+             => 0
+          
+          (reduce-init string-append "@" '("hello" "cruel" "world"))
+          ==
+          (string-append (string-append (string-append "@" "hello")
+                                         "cruel")
+                         "world")
+          => "@hellocruelworld"
+
+     Given a differentiation of 2 arguments, `diff', the following will
+     differentiate by any number of variables.
+          (define (diff* exp . vars)
+            (reduce-init diff exp vars))
+
+     Example:
+          ;;; Real-world example:  Insertion sort using reduce-init.
+          
+          (define (insert l item)
+            (if (null? l)
+                (list item)
+                (if (< (car l) item)
+                    (cons (car l) (insert (cdr l) item))
+                    (cons item l))))
+          (define (insertion-sort l) (reduce-init insert '() l))
+          
+          (insertion-sort '(3 1 4 1 5)
+             == (reduce-init insert () (3 1 4 1 5))
+             == (insert (insert (insert (insert (insert () 3) 1) 4) 1) 5)
+             == (insert (insert (insert (insert (3)) 1) 4) 1) 5)
+             == (insert (insert (insert (1 3) 4) 1) 5)
+             == (insert (insert (1 3 4) 1) 5)
+             == (insert (1 1 3 4) 5)
+             => (1 1 3 4 5)
+
+ - Function: last LST N
+     `last' returns the last N elements of LST.  N must be a
+     non-negative integer.
+
+     Example:
+          (last '(foo bar baz bang) 2)
+             => (baz bang)
+          (last '(1 2 3) 0)
+             => 0
+
+ - Function: butlast LST N
+     `butlast' returns all but the last N elements of LST.
+
+     Example:
+          (butlast '(a b c d) 3)
+             => (a)
+          (butlast '(a b c d) 4)
+             => ()
+
+`last' and `butlast' split a list into two parts when given identical
+arugments.
+     (last '(a b c d e) 2)
+        => (d e)
+     (butlast '(a b c d e) 2)
+        => (a b c)
+
+ - Function: nthcdr N LST
+     `nthcdr' takes N `cdr's of LST and returns the result.  Thus
+     `(nthcdr 3 LST)' == `(cdddr LST)'
+
+     Example:
+          (nthcdr 2 '(a b c d))
+             => (c d)
+          (nthcdr 0 '(a b c d))
+             => (a b c d)
+
+ - Function: butnthcdr N LST
+     `butnthcdr' returns all but the nthcdr N elements of LST.
+
+     Example:
+          (butnthcdr 3 '(a b c d))
+             => (a b c)
+          (butnthcdr 4 '(a b c d))
+             => ()
+
+`nthcdr' and `butnthcdr' split a list into two parts when given
+identical arugments.
+     (nthcdr 2 '(a b c d e))
+        => (c d e)
+     (butnthcdr 2 '(a b c d e))
+        => (a b)

+Destructive list operations
+...........................
+
+  These procedures may mutate the list they operate on, but any such
+mutation is undefined.
+
+ - Procedure: nconc ARGS
+     `nconc' destructively concatenates its arguments.  (Compare this
+     with `append', which copies arguments rather than destroying them.)
+     Sometimes called `append!' (*note Rev2 Procedures::.).
+
+     Example:  You want to find the subsets of a set.  Here's the
+     obvious way:
+
+          (define (subsets set)
+            (if (null? set)
+                '(())
+                (append (mapcar (lambda (sub) (cons (car set) sub))
+                                (subsets (cdr set)))
+                        (subsets (cdr set)))))
+     But that does way more consing than you need.  Instead, you could
+     replace the `append' with `nconc', since you don't have any need
+     for all the intermediate results.
+
+     Example:
+          (define x '(a b c))
+          (define y '(d e f))
+          (nconc x y)
+             => (a b c d e f)
+          x
+             => (a b c d e f)
+
+     `nconc' is the same as `append!' in `sc2.scm'.
+
+ - Procedure: nreverse LST
+     `nreverse' reverses the order of elements in LST by mutating
+     `cdr's of the list.  Sometimes called `reverse!'.
+
+     Example:
+          (define foo '(a b c))
+          (nreverse foo)
+             => (c b a)
+          foo
+             => (a)
+
+     Some people have been confused about how to use `nreverse',
+     thinking that it doesn't return a value.  It needs to be pointed
+     out that
+          (set! lst (nreverse lst))
+
+     is the proper usage, not
+          (nreverse lst)
+     The example should suffice to show why this is the case.
+
+ - Procedure: delete ELT LST
+ - Procedure: delete-if PRED LST
+ - Procedure: delete-if-not PRED LST
+     Destructive versions of `remove' `remove-if', and `remove-if-not'.
+
+     Example:
+          (define lst '(foo bar baz bang))
+          (delete 'foo lst)
+             => (bar baz bang)
+          lst
+             => (foo bar baz bang)
+          
+          (define lst '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9))
+          (delete-if odd? lst)
+             => (2 4 6 8)
+          lst
+             => (1 2 4 6 8)
+
+     Some people have been confused about how to use `delete',
+     `delete-if', and `delete-if', thinking that they dont' return a
+     value.  It needs to be pointed out that
+          (set! lst (delete el lst))
+
+     is the proper usage, not
+          (delete el lst)
+     The examples should suffice to show why this is the case.

+     `and?' checks to see if all its arguments are true.  If they are,
+     `and?' returns `#t', otherwise, `#f'.  (In contrast to `and', this
+     is a function, so all arguments are always evaluated and in an
+     unspecified order.)
+
+     Example:
+          (and? 1 2 3)
+             => #t
+          (and #f 1 2)

+     is to `and'.)
+
+     Example:
+          (or? 1 2 #f)

+          (or? #f #f #f)
+             => #f
+
+ - Function: atom? OBJECT
+     Returns `#t' if OBJECT is not a pair and `#f' if it is pair.
+     (Called `atom' in Common LISP.)
+          (atom? 1)
+             => #t
+          (atom? '(1 2))
+             => #f

+ - Function: type-of OBJECT

+
+ - Function: coerce OBJECT RESULT-TYPE

+Tree operations
+---------------
+
+  `(require 'tree)'
+
+  These are operations that treat lists a representations of trees.
+
+ - Function: subst NEW OLD TREE
+ - Function: substq NEW OLD TREE
+ - Function: substv NEW OLD TREE
+     `subst' makes a copy of TREE, substituting NEW for every subtree
+     or leaf of TREE which is `equal?' to OLD and returns a modified
+     tree.  The original TREE is unchanged, but may share parts with
+     the result.
+
+     `substq' and `substv' are similar, but test against OLD using
+     `eq?' and `eqv?' respectively.
+
+     Examples:
+          (substq 'tempest 'hurricane '(shakespeare wrote (the hurricane)))
+             => (shakespeare wrote (the tempest))
+          (substq 'foo '() '(shakespeare wrote (twelfth night)))

+
+ - Function: copy-tree TREE
+     Makes a copy of the nested list structure TREE using new pairs and
+     returns it.  All levels are copied, so that none of the pairs in
+     the tree are `eq?' to the original ones - only the leaves are.
+
+     Example:
+          (define bar '(bar))
+          (copy-tree (list bar 'foo))
+             => ((bar) foo)

+  The `chap:' functions deal with strings which are ordered like

+
+ - Function: chap:string<? STRING1 STRING2
+     Returns #t if the first non-matching run of alphabetic upper-case
+     or the first non-matching run of alphabetic lower-case or the first

+
+Sorting
+-------
+
+  `(require 'sort)'
+
+  Many Scheme systems provide some kind of sorting functions.  They do
+not, however, always provide the *same* sorting functions, and those
+that I have had the opportunity to test provided inefficient ones (a
+common blunder is to use quicksort which does not perform well).
+
+  Because `sort' and `sort!' are not in the standard, there is very
+little agreement about what these functions look like.  For example,
+Dybvig says that Chez Scheme provides
+     (merge predicate list1 list2)
+     (merge! predicate list1 list2)
+     (sort predicate list)
+     (sort! predicate list)
+
+while MIT Scheme 7.1, following Common LISP, offers unstable
+     (sort list predicate)
+
+TI PC Scheme offers
+     (sort! list/vector predicate?)
+
+and Elk offers
+     (sort list/vector predicate?)
+     (sort! list/vector predicate?)
+
+  Here is a comprehensive catalogue of the variations I have found.
+
+  1. Both `sort' and `sort!' may be provided.
+
+  2. `sort' may be provided without `sort!'.
+
+  3. `sort!' may be provided without `sort'.
+
+  4. Neither may be provided.
+
+  5. The sequence argument may be either a list or a vector.
+
+  6. The sequence argument may only be a list.
+
+  7. The sequence argument may only be a vector.
+
+  8. The comparison function may be expected to behave like `<'.
+
+  9. The comparison function may be expected to behave like `<='.
+
+ 10. The interface may be `(sort predicate? sequence)'.
+
+ 11. The interface may be `(sort sequence predicate?)'.
+
+ 12. The interface may be `(sort sequence &optional (predicate? <))'.
+
+ 13. The sort may be stable.
+
+ 14. The sort may be unstable.
+
+  All of this variation really does not help anybody.  A nice simple
+merge sort is both stable and fast (quite a lot faster than *quick*
+sort).
+
+  I am providing this source code with no restrictions at all on its use
+(but please retain D.H.D.Warren's credit for the original idea).  You
+may have to rename some of these functions in order to use them in a
+system which already provides incompatible or inferior sorts.  For each
+of the functions, only the top-level define needs to be edited to do
+that.
+
+  I could have given these functions names which would not clash with
+any Scheme that I know of, but I would like to encourage implementors to
+converge on a single interface, and this may serve as a hint.  The
+argument order for all functions has been chosen to be as close to
+Common LISP as made sense, in order to avoid NIH-itis.
+
+  Each of the five functions has a required *last* parameter which is a
+comparison function.  A comparison function `f' is a function of 2
+arguments which acts like `<'.  For example,
+
+     (not (f x x))
+     (and (f x y) (f y z)) == (f x z)
+
+  The standard functions `<', `>', `char<?', `char>?', `char-ci<?',
+`char-ci>?', `string<?', `string>?', `string-ci<?', and `string-ci>?'
+are suitable for use as comparison functions.  Think of `(less? x y)'
+as saying when `x' must *not* precede `y'.
+
+ - Function: sorted? SEQUENCE LESS?
+     Returns `#t' when the sequence argument is in non-decreasing order
+     according to LESS? (that is, there is no adjacent pair `... x y
+     ...' for which `(less? y x)').
+
+     Returns `#f' when the sequence contains at least one out-of-order
+     pair.  It is an error if the sequence is neither a list nor a
+     vector.
+
+ - Function: merge LIST1 LIST2 LESS?
+     This merges two lists, producing a completely new list as result.
+     I gave serious consideration to producing a Common-LISP-compatible
+     version.  However, Common LISP's `sort' is our `sort!' (well, in
+     fact Common LISP's `stable-sort' is our `sort!', merge sort is
+     *fast* as well as stable!) so adapting CL code to Scheme takes a
+     bit of work anyway.  I did, however, appeal to CL to determine the
+     *order* of the arguments.
+
+ - Procedure: merge! LIST1 LIST2 LESS?
+     Merges two lists, re-using the pairs of LIST1 and LIST2 to build
+     the result.  If the code is compiled, and LESS? constructs no new
+     pairs, no pairs at all will be allocated.  The first pair of the
+     result will be either the first pair of LIST1 or the first pair of
+     LIST2, but you can't predict which.
+
+     The code of `merge' and `merge!' could have been quite a bit
+     simpler, but they have been coded to reduce the amount of work
+     done per iteration.  (For example, we only have one `null?' test
+     per iteration.)
+
+ - Function: sort SEQUENCE LESS?
+     Accepts either a list or a vector, and returns a new sequence
+     which is sorted.  The new sequence is the same type as the input.
+     Always `(sorted? (sort sequence less?) less?)'.  The original
+     sequence is not altered in any way.  The new sequence shares its
+     *elements* with the old one; no elements are copied.
+
+ - Procedure: sort! SEQUENCE LESS?
+     Returns its sorted result in the original boxes.  If the original
+     sequence is a list, no new storage is allocated at all.  If the
+     original sequence is a vector, the sorted elements are put back in
+     the same vector.
+
+     Some people have been confused about how to use `sort!', thinking
+     that it doesn't return a value.  It needs to be pointed out that
+          (set! slist (sort! slist <))
+
+     is the proper usage, not
+          (sort! slist <)
+
+  Note that these functions do *not* accept a CL-style `:key' argument.
+A simple device for obtaining the same expressiveness is to define
+     (define (keyed less? key)
+       (lambda (x y) (less? (key x) (key y))))
+
+and then, when you would have written
+     (sort a-sequence #'my-less :key #'my-key)
+
+in Common LISP, just write
+     (sort! a-sequence (keyed my-less? my-key))
+
+in Scheme.

+The algorithm is inspired by Cormen, Leiserson and Rivest (1990)

+
+ - Function: tsort DAG PRED
+ - Function: topological-sort DAG PRED
+     where
+    DAG
+          is a list of sublists.  The car of each sublist is a vertex.
+          The cdr is the adjacency list of that vertex, i.e. a list of
+          all vertices to which there exists an edge from the car
+          vertex.
+
+    PRED
+          is one of `eq?', `eqv?', `equal?', `=', `char=?',
+          `char-ci=?', `string=?', or `string-ci=?'.
+
+     Sort the directed acyclic graph DAG so that for every edge from

+     Example (from Cormen):

+          dressed.  The first argument to `tsort' describes which

+          Prof Bumstead needs to put on his shirt before he puts on his
+          tie or his belt.)  `tsort' gives the correct order of

+
+  This module implements asynchronous (non-polled) time-sliced
+multi-processing in the SCM Scheme implementation using procedures
+`alarm' and `alarm-interrupt'.  Until this is ported to another

+
+Dynamic-Wind
+------------
+
+  `(require 'dynamic-wind)'
+
+  This facility is a generalization of Common LISP `unwind-protect',
+designed to take into account the fact that continuations produced by
+`call-with-current-continuation' may be reentered.
+
+ - Procedure: dynamic-wind THUNK1 THUNK2 THUNK3
+     The arguments THUNK1, THUNK2, and THUNK3 must all be procedures of
+     no arguments (thunks).
+
+     `dynamic-wind' calls THUNK1, THUNK2, and then THUNK3.  The value
+     returned by THUNK2 is returned as the result of `dynamic-wind'.
+     THUNK3 is also called just before control leaves the dynamic
+     context of THUNK2 by calling a continuation created outside that
+     context.  Furthermore, THUNK1 is called before reentering the
+     dynamic context of THUNK2 by calling a continuation created inside
+     that context.  (Control is inside the context of THUNK2 if THUNK2
+     is on the current return stack).
+
+     *Warning:* There is no provision for dealing with errors or
+     interrupts.  If an error or interrupt occurs while using
+     `dynamic-wind', the dynamic environment will be that in effect at
+     the time of the error or interrupt.

+Eval
+----
+
+  `(require 'eval)'
+
+ - Function: eval EXPRESSION ENVIRONMENT-SPECIFIER
+     Evaluates EXPRESSION in the specified environment and returns its
+     value.  EXPRESSION must be a valid Scheme expression represented
+     as data, and ENVIRONMENT-SPECIFIER must be a value returned by one
+     of the three procedures described below.  Implementations may
+     extend `eval' to allow non-expression programs (definitions) as
+     the first argument and to allow other values as environments, with
+     the restriction that `eval' is not allowed to create new bindings
+     in the environments associated with `null-environment' or
+     `scheme-report-environment'.
+
+          (eval '(* 7 3) (scheme-report-environment 5))
+                                                             =>  21

+                         (null-environment))))
+            (f + 10))
+                                                             =>  20
+
+ - Function: scheme-report-environment VERSION
+ - Function: null-environment VERSION
+ - Function: null-environment
+     VERSION must be an exact non-negative integer N corresponding to a
+     version of one of the Revised^N Reports on Scheme.
+     `Scheme-report-environment' returns a specifier for an environment
+     that contains the set of bindings specified in the corresponding
+     report that the implementation supports.  `Null-environment'
+     returns a specifier for an environment that contains only the
+     (syntactic) bindings for all the syntactic keywords defined in the
+     given version of the report.
+
+     Not all versions may be available in all implementations at all
+     times.  However, an implementation that conforms to version N of
+     the Revised^N Reports on Scheme must accept version N.  An error
+     is signalled if the specified version is not available.
+
+     The effect of assigning (through the use of `eval') a variable
+     bound in a `scheme-report-environment' (for example `car') is
+     unspecified. Thus the environments specified by
+     `scheme-report-environment' may be immutable.
+
+
+ - Function: interaction-environment
+     This optional procedure returns a specifier for the environment
+     that contains implementation-defined bindings, typically a
+     superset of those listed in the report.  The intent is that this
+     procedure will return the environment in which the implementation
+     would evaluate expressions dynamically typed by the user.
+
+Here are some more `eval' examples:
+
+     (require 'eval)
+     => #<unspecified>
+     (define car 'volvo)
+     => #<unspecified>
+     car
+     => volvo
+     (eval 'car (interaction-environment))
+     => volvo
+     (eval 'car (scheme-report-environment 5))
+     => #<primitive-procedure car>
+     (eval '(eval 'car (interaction-environment))
+           (scheme-report-environment 5))
+     => volvo
+     (eval '(eval '(set! car 'buick) (interaction-environment))
+           (scheme-report-environment 5))
+     => #<unspecified>
+     car
+     => buick
+     (eval 'car (scheme-report-environment 5))
+     => #<primitive-procedure car>
+     (eval '(eval 'car (interaction-environment))
+           (scheme-report-environment 5))

+Values
+------
+
+  `(require 'values)'
+
+ - Function: values OBJ ...
+     `values' takes any number of arguments, and passes (returns) them
+     to its continuation.
+
+ - Function: call-with-values THUNK PROC
+     THUNK must be a procedure of no arguments, and PROC must be a
+     procedure.  `call-with-values' calls THUNK with a continuation
+     that, when passed some values, calls PROC with those values as
+     arguments.
+
+     Except for continuations created by the `call-with-values'
+     procedure, all continuations take exactly one value, as now; the
+     effect of passing no value or more than one value to continuations
+     that were not created by the `call-with-values' procedure is
+     unspecified.

+Repl
+----
+
+  `(require 'repl)'
+
+  Here is a read-eval-print-loop which, given an eval, evaluates forms.
+
+ - Procedure: repl:top-level REPL:EVAL
+     `read's, `repl:eval's and `write's expressions from
+     `(current-input-port)' to `(current-output-port)' until an
+     end-of-file is encountered.  `load', `slib:eval', `slib:error',
+     and `repl:quit' dynamically bound during `repl:top-level'.
+
+ - Procedure: repl:quit
+     Exits from the invocation of `repl:top-level'.
+
+  The `repl:' procedures establish, as much as is possible to do
+portably, a top level environment supporting macros.  `repl:top-level'
+uses `dynamic-wind' to catch error conditions and interrupts.  If your
+implementation supports this you are all set.
+
+  Otherwise, if there is some way your implementation can catch error
+conditions and interrupts, then have them call `slib:error'.  It will
+display its arguments and reenter `repl:top-level'.  `slib:error'
+dynamically bound by `repl:top-level'.
+
+  To have your top level loop always use macros, add any interrupt
+catching lines and the following lines to your Scheme init file:
+     (require 'macro)
+     (require 'repl)
+     (repl:top-level macro:eval)

+Quick Print
+-----------
+
+  `(require 'qp)'
+
+When displaying error messages and warnings, it is paramount that the
+output generated for circular lists and large data structures be
+limited.  This section supplies a procedure to do this.  It could be
+much improved.
+
+     Notice that the neccessity for truncating output eliminates
+     Common-Lisp's *Note Format:: from consideration; even when
+     variables `*print-level*' and `*print-level*' are set, huge
+     strings and bit-vectors are *not* limited.
+
+ - Procedure: qp ARG1 ...
+ - Procedure: qpn ARG1 ...
+ - Procedure: qpr ARG1 ...
+     `qp' writes its arguments, separated by spaces, to
+     `(current-output-port)'.  `qp' compresses printing by substituting
+     `...' for substructure it does not have sufficient room to print.
+     `qpn' is like `qp' but outputs a newline before returning.  `qpr'
+     is like `qpn' except that it returns its last argument.
+
+ - Variable: *qp-width*
+     `*qp-width*' is the largest number of characters that `qp' should
+     use.

+-----------
+
+  `(require 'break)'

+     If your Scheme implementation does not support `break' or `abort',
+     a message will appear when you `(require 'break)' or `(require
+     'debug)' telling you to type `(init-debug)'.  This is in order to
+     establish a top-level continuation.  Typing `(init-debug)' at top
+     level sets up a continuation for `break'.
+
+ - Function: breakpoint ARG1 ...
+     Returns from the top level continuation and pushes the
+     continuation from which it was called on a continuation stack.
+
+ - Function: continue

+     returns an unspecified value to it.
+
+ - Function: continue ARG1 ...

+     Turns breakpoints off for its arguments.
+
+ - Macro: unbreak
+     With no arguments, unbreaks all currently broken identifiers and

+     yielded by the PROC is(are) returned.  K may be ommited, in which
+     case it defaults to `1'.
+
+ - Function: user-email-address
+     `user-email-address' returns a string of the form
+     `username@hostname'.  If this e-mail address cannot be obtained,
+     #f is returned.
+
+ - Function: current-directory
+     `current-directory' returns a string containing the absolute file
+     name representing the current working directory.  If this string
+     cannot be obtained, #f is returned.
+
+     If `current-directory' cannot be supported by the platform, the
+     value of `current-directory' is #f.
+
+ - Function: make-directory NAME
+     Creates a sub-directory NAME of the current-directory.  If
+     successful, `make-directory' returns #t; otherwise #f.
+
+ - Function: null-directory? FILE-NAME
+     Returns #t if changing directory to FILE-NAME makes the current
+     working directory the same as it is before changing directory;
+     otherwise returns #f.
+
+ - Function: absolute-path? FILE-NAME
+     Returns #t if FILE-NAME is a fully specified pathname (does not
+     depend on the current working directory); otherwise returns #f.
+
+ - Function: glob-pattern? STR
+     Returns #t if the string STR contains characters used for
+     specifying glob patterns, namely `*', `?', or `['.
+
+ - Function: parse-ftp-address URL
+     Returns a list of the decoded FTP URL; or #f if indecipherable.
+     FTP "Uniform Resource Locator", "ange-ftp", and "getit" formats
+     are handled.  The returned list has four elements which are
+     strings or #f:
+
+       0. username
+
+       1. password
+
+       2. remote-site
+
+       3. remote-directory
+
+ - Function: ftp-upload PATHS USER PASSWORD REMOTE-SITE REMOTE-DIR
+     PASSWORD must be a non-empty string or #f.  PATHS must be a
+     non-empty list of pathnames or Glob patterns (*note Filenames::.)
+     matching files to transfer.
+
+     `ftp-upload' puts the files specified by PATHS into the REMOTE-DIR
+     directory of FTP REMOTE-SITE using name USER with (optional)
+     PASSWORD.
+
+     If PASSWORD is #f and USER is not `ftp' or `anonymous', then USER
+     is ignored; FTP takes the username and password from the `.netrc'
+     or equivalent file.
+
+ - Function: path->url PATH
+     Returns a URL-string for PATH on the local host.
+
+ - Function: browse-url-netscape URL
+     If a `netscape' browser is running, `browse-url-netscape' causes
+     the browser to display the page specified by string URL and
+     returns #t.
+
+     If the browser is not running, `browse-url-netscape' runs
+     `netscape' with the argument URL.  If the browser starts as a            |
+     background job, `browse-url-netscape' returns #t immediately; if         |
+     the browser starts as a foreground job, then `browse-url-netscape'       |
+     returns #t when the browser exits; otherwise it returns #f.              |

+Extra-SLIB Packages
+===================
+
+  Several Scheme packages have been written using SLIB.  There are
+several reasons why a package might not be included in the SLIB
+distribution:
+   * Because it requires special hardware or software which is not
+     universal.
+
+   * Because it is large and of limited interest to most Scheme users.
+
+   * Because it has copying terms different enough from the other SLIB
+     packages that its inclusion would cause confusion.
+
+   * Because it is an application program, rather than a library module.
+
+   * Because I have been too busy to integrate it.
+
+  Once an optional package is installed (and an entry added to
+`*catalog*', the `require' mechanism allows it to be called up and used
+as easily as any other SLIB package.  Some optional packages (for which
+`*catalog*' already has entries) available from SLIB sites are:
+
+SLIB-PSD is a portable debugger for Scheme (requires emacs editor).

+          ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/scheme-repository/utl/slib-psd1-3.tar.gz
+
+     With PSD, you can run a Scheme program in an Emacs buffer, set
+     breakpoints, single step evaluation and access and modify the
+     program's variables. It works by instrumenting the original source
+     code, so it should run with any R4RS compliant Scheme. It has been
+     tested with SCM, Elk 1.5, and the sci interpreter in the Scheme->C
+     system, but should work with other Schemes with a minimal amount
+     of porting, if at all. Includes documentation and user's manual.

+
+Installation
+============
+
+  Check the manifest in `README' to find a configuration file for your
+Scheme implementation.  Initialization files for most IEEE P1178
+compliant Scheme Implementations are included with this distribution.
+
+  If the Scheme implementation supports `getenv', then the value of the
+shell environment variable SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH will be used for
+`(library-vicinity)' if it is defined.  Currently, Chez, Elk,
+MITScheme, scheme->c, VSCM, and SCM support `getenv'.  Scheme48
+supports `getenv' but does not use it for determining
+`library-vicinity'.  (That is done from the Makefile.)
+
+  You should check the definitions of `software-type',
+`scheme-implementation-version', `implementation-vicinity', and
+`library-vicinity' in the initialization file.  There are comments in
+the file for how to configure it.
+
+  Once this is done you can modify the startup file for your Scheme
+implementation to `load' this initialization file.  SLIB is then
+installed.
+
+  Multiple implementations of Scheme can all use the same SLIB
+directory.  Simply configure each implementation's initialization file
+as outlined above.
+
+  The SCM implementation does not require any initialization file as
+SLIB support is already built in to SCM.  See the documentation with
+SCM for installation instructions.
+
+  SLIB includes methods to create heap images for the VSCM and Scheme48
+implementations.  The instructions for creating a VSCM image are in
+comments in `vscm.init'.  To make a Scheme48 image for an installation
+under `<prefix>', `cd' to the SLIB directory and type `make
+prefix=<prefix> slib48'.  To install the image, type `make
+prefix=<prefix> install48'.  This will also create a shell script with
+the name `slib48' which will invoke the saved image.
+
+
+File: slib.info,  Node: Porting,  Next: Coding Standards,  Prev: Installation,  Up: About SLIB
+
+Porting
+=======
+
+  If there is no initialization file for your Scheme implementation, you
+will have to create one.  Your Scheme implementation must be largely
+compliant with `IEEE Std 1178-1990', `Revised^4 Report on the
+Algorithmic Language Scheme', or `Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic
+Language Scheme' in order to support SLIB.  (1)
+
+  `Template.scm' is an example configuration file.  The comments inside
+will direct you on how to customize it to reflect your system.  Give
+your new initialization file the implementation's name with `.init'
+appended.  For instance, if you were porting `foo-scheme' then the
+initialization file might be called `foo.init'.
+
+  Your customized version should then be loaded as part of your scheme
+implementation's initialization.  It will load `require.scm' from the
+library; this will allow the use of `provide', `provided?', and
+`require' along with the "vicinity" functions (these functions are
+documented in the section *Note Require::).  The rest of the library
+will then be accessible in a system independent fashion.
+
+  Please mail new working configuration files to `jaffer @ ai.mit.edu'
+so that they can be included in the SLIB distribution.
+
+  ---------- Footnotes ----------
+
+  (1) If you are porting a `Revised^3 Report on the Algorithmic
+Language Scheme' implementation, then you will need to finish writing
+`sc4sc3.scm' and `load' it from your initialization file.
+
+
+File: slib.info,  Node: Coding Standards,  Next: Copyrights,  Prev: Porting,  Up: About SLIB
+
+Coding Standards
+================
+
+  All library packages are written in IEEE P1178 Scheme and assume that
+a configuration file and `require.scm' package have already been
+loaded.  Other versions of Scheme can be supported in library packages
+as well by using, for example, `(provided? 'rev3-report)' or `(require
+'rev3-report)' (*note Require::.).
+
+  The module name and `:' should prefix each symbol defined in the
+package.  Definitions for external use should then be exported by having
+`(define foo module-name:foo)'.
+
+  Code submitted for inclusion in SLIB should not duplicate routines
+already in SLIB files.  Use `require' to force those library routines
+to be used by your package.  Care should be taken that there are no
+circularities in the `require's and `load's between the library
+packages.
+
+  Documentation should be provided in Emacs Texinfo format if possible,
+But documentation must be provided.
+
+  Your package will be released sooner with SLIB if you send me a file
+which tests your code.  Please run this test *before* you send me the
+code!
+
+Modifications
+-------------
+
+  Please document your changes.  A line or two for `ChangeLog' is
+sufficient for simple fixes or extensions.  Look at the format of
+`ChangeLog' to see what information is desired.  Please send me `diff'
+files from the latest SLIB distribution (remember to send `diff's of
+`slib.texi' and `ChangeLog').  This makes for less email traffic and
+makes it easier for me to integrate when more than one person is
+changing a file (this happens a lot with `slib.texi' and `*.init'
+files).
+
+  If someone else wrote a package you want to significantly modify,
+please try to contact the author, who may be working on a new version.
+This will insure against wasting effort on obsolete versions.
+
+  Please *do not* reformat the source code with your favorite
+beautifier, make 10 fixes, and send me the resulting source code.  I do
+not have the time to fish through 10000 diffs to find your 10 real
+fixes.

+
+Copyrights
+==========
+
+  This section has instructions for SLIB authors regarding copyrights.
+
+  Each package in SLIB must either be in the public domain, or come
+with a statement of terms permitting users to copy, redistribute and
+modify it.  The comments at the beginning of `require.scm' and
+`macwork.scm' illustrate copyright and appropriate terms.
+
+  If your code or changes amount to less than about 10 lines, you do not
+need to add your copyright or send a disclaimer.
+
+Putting code into the Public Domain
+-----------------------------------
+
+  In order to put code in the public domain you should sign a copyright
+disclaimer and send it to the SLIB maintainer.  Contact jaffer @
+ai.mit.edu for the address to mail the disclaimer to.
+
+     I, NAME, hereby affirm that I have placed the software package
+     NAME in the public domain.
+
+     I affirm that I am the sole author and sole copyright holder for
+     the software package, that I have the right to place this software
+     package in the public domain, and that I will do nothing to
+     undermine this status in the future.
+
+                                                     SIGNATURE AND DATE
+
+  This wording assumes that you are the sole author.  If you are not the
+sole author, the wording needs to be different.  If you don't want to be
+bothered with sending a letter every time you release or modify a
+module, make your letter say that it also applies to your future
+revisions of that module.
+
+  Make sure no employer has any claim to the copyright on the work you
+are submitting.  If there is any doubt, create a copyright disclaimer
+and have your employer sign it.  Mail the signed disclaimer to the SLIB
+maintainer.  Contact jaffer @ ai.mit.edu for the address to mail the
+disclaimer to.  An example disclaimer follows.
+
+Explicit copying terms
+----------------------
+
+If you submit more than about 10 lines of code which you are not placing
+into the Public Domain (by sending me a disclaimer) you need to:
+
+   * Arrange that your name appears in a copyright line for the
+     appropriate year.   Multiple copyright lines are acceptable.
+
+   * With your copyright line, specify any terms you require to be
+     different from those already in the file.
+
+   * Make sure no employer has any claim to the copyright on the work
+     you are submitting.  If there is any doubt, create a copyright
+     disclaimer and have your employer sign it.  Mail the signed
+     disclaim to the SLIB maintainer.  Contact jaffer @ ai.mit.edu for
+     the address to mail the disclaimer to.
+
+Example: Company Copyright Disclaimer
+-------------------------------------
+
+  This disclaimer should be signed by a vice president or general
+manager of the company.  If you can't get at them, anyone else
+authorized to license out software produced there will do.  Here is a
+sample wording:
+
+     EMPLOYER Corporation hereby disclaims all copyright interest in
+     the program PROGRAM written by NAME.
+
+     EMPLOYER Corporation affirms that it has no other intellectual
+     property interest that would undermine this release, and will do
+     nothing to undermine it in the future.
+
+     SIGNATURE AND DATE,
+     NAME, TITLE, EMPLOYER Corporation

-@subsection Theory
-
-Rabin and Miller's result can be summarized as follows.  Let @code{p}
-(the candidate prime) be any odd integer greater than 2.  Let @code{b}
-(the "base") be an integer in the range @code{2 ... p-1}.  There is a
-fairly simple Boolean function---call it @code{C}, for
-"Composite"---with the following properties:
-@itemize @bullet
-
-@item
-If @code{p} is prime, @code{C(p, b)} is false for all @code{b} in the range
-@code{2 ... p-1}.
-
-@item
-If @code{p} is composite, @code{C(p, b)} is false for at most 1/4 of all
-@code{b} in the range @code{ 2 ... p-1}.  (If the test fails for base
-@code{b}, @code{p} is called a @emph{strong pseudo-prime to base
-@code{b}}.)
-
-@end itemize
-For details of @code{C}, and why it fails for at most 1/4 of the
-potential bases, please consult a book on number theory or cryptography
-such as "A Course in Number Theory and Cryptography" by Neal Koblitz,
-published by Springer-Verlag 1994.
-
-There is nothing probablistic about this result.  It's true for all
-@code{p}.  If we had time to test @code{(1/4)p + 1} different bases, we
-could definitively determine the primality of @code{p}.  For large
-candidates, that would take much too long---much longer than the simple
-approach of dividing by all numbers up to @code{sqrt(p)}.  This is
-where probability enters the picture.
-
-Suppose we have some candidate prime @code{p}.  Pick a random integer
-@code{b} in the range @code{2 ... p-1}.  Compute @code{C(p,b)}.  If
-@code{p} is prime, the result will certainly be false.  If @code{p} is
-composite, the probability is at most 1/4 that the result will be false
-(demonstrating that @code{p} is a strong pseudoprime to base @code{b}).
-The test can be repeated with other random bases.  If @code{p} is prime,
-each test is certain to return false.  If @code{p} is composite, the
-probability of @code{C(p,b)} returning false is at most 1/4 for each
-test.  Since the @code{b} are chosen at random, the tests outcomes are
-independent. So if @code{p} is composite and the test is repeated, say,
-15 times, the probability of it returning false all fifteen times is at
-most (1/4)^15, or about 10^-9.  If the test is repeated 30 times, the
-probability of failure drops to at most 8.3e-25.
-
-Rabin and Miller's result holds for @emph{all} candidates @code{p}.
-However, if the candidate @code{p} is picked at random, the probability
-of the Miller-Rabin test failing is much less than the computed bound.
-This is because, for @emph{most} composite numbers, the fraction of
-bases that cause the test to fail is much less than 1/4.  For example,
-if you pick a random odd number less than 1000 and apply the
-Miller-Rabin test with only 3 random bases, the computed failure bound
-is (1/4)^3, or about 1.6e-2.  However, the actual probability of failure
-is much less---about 7.2e-5.  If you accidentally pick 703 to test for
-primality, the probability of failure is (161/703)^3, or about 1.2e-2,
-which is almost as high as the computed bound.  This is because 703 is a
-strong pseudoprime to 161 bases.  But if you pick at random there is
-only a small chance of picking 703, and no other number less than 1000
-has that high a percentage of pseudoprime bases.
-
-The Miller-Rabin test is sometimes used in a slightly different fashion,
-where it can, at least in principle, cause problems.  The weaker version
-uses small prime bases instead of random bases.  If you are picking
-candidates at random and testing for primality, this works well since
-very few composites are strong pseudo-primes to small prime bases.  (For
-example, there is only one composite less than 2.5e10 that is a strong
-pseudo-prime to the bases 2, 3, 5, and 7.)  The problem with this
-approach is that once a candidate has been picked, the test is
-deterministic.  This distinction is subtle, but real.  With the
-randomized test, for @emph{any} candidate you pick---even if your
-candidate-picking procedure is strongly biased towards troublesome
-numbers, the test will work with high probability.  With the
-deterministic version, for any particular candidate, the test will
-either work (with probability 1), or fail (with probability 1).  It
-won't fail for very many candidates, but that won't be much consolation
-if your candidate-picking procedure is somehow biased toward troublesome
-numbers.
