- I've been using bchschem.exe (with runtime.com). (Haven't the courage
- to try the other stuff.) Works very well. (My trip test was SLaTeX.)
- Which brings me to more questions. (I don't really want to bug the
- maintainers if this is common knowledge.)
-
- @ Is there ftpable documentation on the different ways of defining
- macros in MIT C Scheme? The scheme.dvi appears to document only
- procedures.
-
- @ Has there been any advance on command-line options beyond that
- mentioned in user.dvi? Specifically, can users now get at the command
- line once they have been whisked into the repl? Right now, I'm doing
- something ugly like having batch files that prefix calls to Scheme
- with changes to scheme.ini to mimic this kind of action.
-
- @ Is there a way to exit Scheme without going through the confirmation
- dialog?
