What is this 1meg thing that cscheme writes in my directory? Can I use it for something (like make it come back live again) ? I'm using cscheme under emacs on a sun. Just curious. -- Pertti Kellom\"aki (TeX format) Tampere Univ. of Technology +358 31 228 197 home Software Systems Lab +358 31 162 934 work (room L406) pk@tut.fi

Under what circumstances does it write it? If it's an image dump, you should be able to specify it after the -band option when starting scheme.

I get it once in a while, but I haven't been able to pinpoint the cause.
It seems that it has something to do with GNU Emacs killing the scheme process.
I tried to say
% scheme -band scheme_suspend
but didn't get much out of it. Scheme was just silent for a while, and when I
finally got a prompt from it, it didn't know about any of the functions I had defined.

Scheme dumps a scheme_suspend band when it receives the Unix SIGHUP signal.
This is done so that when a connection is dropped, any work done in
the Scheme environment is not lost.

As always, you can examine the environment by using the WHERE procedure.

That sounds reasonable, thank you. I always suspected there's a
reason to everything.
