I am interested in developing macros and special forms in PC Scheme that will simplify the porting of source code between Scheme and Common Lisp. I have already had some success with this, using the extend-syntax source file bundled with TI PC Scheme. However, the documentation for this is practically nil. I know there is a book, I believe by Dybvig (sp?), that covers this topic, and hope to purchase it someday. For now, though, I am looking for some brief documentation on extend-syntax that will take me farther than I have been able to get on my own. For example, I know there is a 'with' form, but have no idea what it can be used for. Anything at all would be more than I have now. Thanks much for anything! Also, if there are others working on this type of project, I would be interested in corresponding. And a big *thank you* to whoever started this Scheme newsgroup! Doug Pierce AI/KBS Lab Michigan State
