This message announces the availability of Scheme Library release slib2a6. New in SLIB2a6: * structure.scm scaoutp.scm scamacr.scm scainit.scm scaglob.scm scaexpp.scm: Added missing copyright notice and terms. * rbtest.scm rbtree.scm: removed for lack of copying permissions. * root.scm (newton:find-integer-root integer-sqrt newton:find-root laguerre:find-root laguerre:find-root): added. * scanf.scm (stdio:scan-and-set): removed gratuitous char-downcase by changing all (next-format-char) ==> (read-char format-port). SLIB is a portable scheme library meant to provide compatibiliy and utility functions for all standard scheme implementations. SLIB includes initialization files for Chez, ELK 2.1, GAMBIT, MacScheme, MITScheme, scheme->C, Scheme48, T3.1, and VSCM. SCM also supports SLIB. Documentation includes a manifest, installation instructions, and coding standards for the library. Documentation on each library package is supplied.
