Yes. I wrote something called SLaTeX that allows listings of Scheme code in LaTeX without restricting it to the usual monospace typewriter font supported by other code typesetters. I've placed the current version in the titan.rice.edu's anonymous ftp area: get public/slatex.sh. SLaTeX decides which tokens should be, say, boldfaced, italicized, or sansserifed, pretty much along the style of the Little Lisper [1]. (The user can completely control this default decision process, so much so that he can flip the fonts around, add new fonts, or even do something silly like make everything come out in typewriter -- i.e., turn the program into a no-op.) I'd been leery of distributing SLaTeX before because of the frequent updating that it's undergone following the Rice Scheme-and-similar- language users' lively demands for bells and whistles, e.g., o allowing arbitrarily positionable displays, boxed code, in-text code, and directly inputing actual Scheme files; o getting little pockets of LaTeX text or mathmode into the Scheme code, for readable Schemelike pseudocode (useful for expository papers and class handouts); o making it learn automatically that a macro definition implies that keyword should henceforth be boldfaced, etc. At any time, the ftp site will contain the most recent code. The shar file contains the Scheme source (Ch*z, but should carry over to other Schemes with minor changes), a shellscript that piggybacks the codesetter on to LaTeX, the requisite LaTeX style file, installation instructions, a manual in LaTeX, a man page, and a copyleft. The first 2 sections in the manual suffice for most uses, with fine tuning being described later. (The code, as of now, contains more fine tuning than documented -- I'll update the docs when I next get time.) This is free(ly distributable) software, and hence no warranty, though I'll be glad to field bug and other reports.

Thank you Dorai, It is now a part of the utilities section in the repository. To bring all schemers up-to-date: The Scheme Repository is currently hosted in nexus.yorku.ca [130.63.9.1] for anonymous-ftp during non-prime hours. The repository currently consists of four directories under pub/scheme: bib - the sheme bibliography (bib/refer, bibtex, printable) doc - miscellaneous text scm - scheme source utl - utilities (schemeweb, SLaTeX) The scheme source portion of the repository is just updated, thanks to those of you who have responded with code and suggestions. I expect to add more scheme code to the repository shortly. If you have anything that *you* would have wanted to see in such a repository, [if you were out looking for some neat/useful/interesting scheme code] than please consider contributing to this repository. Please send all updates, corrections and new contributions to scheme@nexus.yorku.ca. happy scheming. oz --- In seeking the unattainable, simplicity | Internet: oz@nexus.yorku.ca only gets in the way. -- Alan J.
