I was recently attempting to get a copy of the IEEE draft standard for Scheme. I know that things of this sort are kept on zurich.ai.mit.edu, but all my efforts to log in on zurich have met with failure. There always seem to be too many anonymous users (even at 11pm PDT = 2am EDT). I must have tried twenty or thirty times at various times of the day. So: can anybody give me another site from which I can ftp it? Alternatively, some indication as to how I could get onto zurich would be fine. *Please* don't simply mail the standard to me. My experience with requests of this sort is that either nobody responds at all, or alternatively one gets megabytes of the same file over and over again. Thanx for your help. -- \ Vincent Manis <manis@cs.ubc.ca> "There is no law that vulgarity and \ Department of Computer Science literary excellence cannot coexist." /\ University of British Columbia -- A.

If you can reach MIT via FTP and have TeX (or at least the ability to print
dvi files), you can get a copy of the current draft Scheme standard from:
host: altdorf.ai.mit.edu (18.43.0.246)
user: anonymous (any password)
files: (pick one)
archive/scheme-reports/p1178d4.dvi
archive/scheme-reports/p1178d4.dvi.Z
archive/scheme-reports/p1178d4.tar
archive/scheme-reports/p1178d4.tar.Z
(a postscript version should be available soon as well)
Otherwise, please email me your hard mail address and I'll mail you a
printed copy.
