The Internet Scheme Repository

This is a Repository for materials related to the Scheme programming
language, maintained for the benefit of the Scheme community.

This repository is not currently being maintained.

------------------------------------------------------------------

A WWW interface to the repository is now available.  Point your
web browser to:
http://www.cs.indiana.edu/scheme-repository/home.html

------------------------------------------------------------------
Many new areas have been added in the recent re-organization, and
some old ones removed/replaced.  If you have contributed 
material to the repository, please change your pointers in future
announcements, READMEs, etc to reflect its new location.

The repository currently consists of the following directories:

        code    - lots of scheme code meant for benchmarking,
                  library/support, research, education, and fun:
                   lang      - Scheme code for language implementation
                   lib       - Scheme library code
                   match     - Scheme code for pattern matching
                   misc      - Miscellaneous Scheme code
                   num       - Math-oriented Scheme code
                   oop       - Scheme code to implement 
                               object-oriented programming systems
                   string    - Scheme code for string handling
                   struct    - Scheme code to implement and 
                               manipulate many type of data structures
                   sys       - Scheme code for operating systems interface.
                --------------------------------------------------
                These directories replace the old scm directory,
                both to avoid confusion with the SCM Scheme
                implementation and its related packages as well
                as to better organize the archived code.
                --------------------------------------------------

        doc     - Scheme-related documents:
                   lit       - machine readable parts of various books
                   misc      - miscellaneous documents, including:
                       +arc       - Archived mailing lists
                       +bib       - the Scheme bibliography 
                   prop      - proposed revisions to the standard
                   pubs      - publications on a wide variety of topics
                               related to Scheme
                   standards - documents from the RNRS authors
                --------------------------------------------------
                These directories replace the old arc, bib,
                doc, lit, and txt directories.
                --------------------------------------------------

        ext     - extraneous stuff, extensions etc.

        imp     - Most of the publicly distributable Scheme implementations

        incoming- Anonymous ftp writable directory for uploading material
                  to be included in the repository. 

        instruct- Material (other than literature) which is designed
                  primarily for instruction.

        new     - Any "new" contributions.

        promo   - Freely-distributable promotional or demonstration
                  material for Scheme-related products, including the
                  READMEs from Scheme implementations in the Repository.

        utl     - utilities (schemeweb, SLaTeX)

An excellent list of Scheme impementations (part 2 of Mark Kantrowitz's
Scheme FAQ) is available in ./doc/misc/scheme_2.faq .

If you are an author of Scheme-related material, please consider
contributing.  If you believe any of your material is already in 
the Repository, please check so that it may be kept up to date 
with your newest release and to insure proper credit is given.

Your contributions may be uploaded directly into the incoming
directory using anonymous ftp.  Please send a short note to us
describing any uploaded material and where in the repository you
suggest it be located.  Material unaccompanied by documentation
or description is apt to be excluded from the repository (or filed
under "unknown").

We have begun using the GNU compression program 'gzip' to compress the
larger files in the repository.  gzip is available from:
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gzip-1.2.4.tar
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gzip-1.2.4.shar
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gzip-1.2.4.msdos.exe
Files compressed with 'gzip' are significantly smaller than those
compressed with 'compress', and thus will transfer faster.
Contributors are encouraged to submit material in this format.

For more information on the format of archived material, see the 
file ./FILE_FORMATS.

The Scheme Repository is mirrored in Europe:
  ftp.inria.fr:/lang/Scheme
  faui80.informatik.uni-erlangen.de:/pub/scheme/yorku
  ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de:/pub/comp/programming/languages/scheme/scheme-repository

Many thanks to Ozan S. Yigit, founder of the original scheme
repository at York University, and to David Eby and John Zuckerman,
who maintained the repository through 1998.
