There are some functions with internal require calls to delay loading modules until they are needed. While this reduces startup latency for interpreters, it can produce headaches for compilers.

Although it will work on large info files, feeding it an excerpt is much faster; and has less chance of being confused by unusual text in the info file. This command excerpts the SLIB index into `slib-index.info':

info -f slib2d6.info -n "Index" -o slib-index.info

How do I know this? I parsed 250kbyte of random input (an e-mail file) with a non-trivial grammar utilizing all constructs.

Readers may recognize these color string formats from Xlib. X11's color management system was doomed by its fiction that CRT monitors' (and X11 default) color-spaces were linear RGBi. Unable to shed this legacy, the only practical way to view pictures on X is to ignore its color management system and use an sRGB monitor. In this implementation the device-independent RGB709 and sRGB spaces replace the device-dependent RGBi and RGB spaces of Xlib.

A comprehensive encoding of transforms between CIEXYZ and device color spaces is the International Color Consortium profile format, ICC.1:1998-09:

The intent of this format is to provide a cross-platform device profile format. Such device profiles can be used to translate color data created on one device into another device's native color space.

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.
