- Reply-To: chaynes@cs.indiana.edu
-
- The fifth draft of the "Standard for the Scheme Programming Language,"
- P1178/D5, has been approved by the IEEE Standards Board (subject to
- resolution of a couple of minor editorial and administrative matters,
- which will be done in the next few days).
-
- The Scheme standard will be available in published form from the IEEE
- Standards Office (for about $50) in a couple of months or so. I will
- post exact ordering information at that time. Until then, copies of
- the draft may be obtained by writing

- or calling 201-562-3800. The draft costs $27 ($21.60 for IEEE members)
- and payment may be made by check or credit card. In accordance with
- IEEE policy, drafts of the standard will no longer be distributed by
- MIT and Indiana University.
-
- The Working Group on Scheme, IEEE/MSC/P1178, now ceases to exist. It
- will be reconstituted to revise or reaffirm the standard when the need
- is felt (not more than five years from now).
-
- Special acknowledgment is due the standard and ballotting response
- editors, Chris Hanson, James S. Miller, David H. Bartley, and John D.
- Ramsdell. The rapid progress of the Scheme standard working group and
- the quality of the final standard is due in large measure to the
- efforts of the "Revised^n Report on Scheme" authors and their editors,
- William Clinger and Jonathan Rees.
