Do any of you know of a good Scheme reference book to recommend. I like Dybvig's "The Scheme Lanaguage", but I feel we need something which more closely follows (or more clearly identifies) the standard forms of R3/R4. | Wayne Allen, wa@mcc.com uunet!cs.utexas.edu!milano!cadillac!wa | MCC/CAD, 3500 West Balcones Center Dr, Austin, Tx 78759 (512)338-3754

I usually point people to the P1178D5 draft of the IEEE proto-standard; It's available on zurich.ai.mit.edu. _Scheme and the Art of Programming_ by Springer and Friedman is a good general introduction to Scheme; I think that working directly from the standard is best for reference. (My .signature should be taken as tongue-in-cheek; actually, the Scheme standard is my favorite standard of recent times; it's small and clean, and therefore reflects the language very nicely. Nice work, folks!) Regards, Dak -- David A.
