[plt-scheme] Re: DrScheme: Reference to undefined identifier: require

Zane:
  Your answer was right on, and I was able to figure out the details.
Life seems a bit easier when using module, require and provide.  I
picked R5RS when I began, because DrScheme says it's "no frills", and
I'm a no frills kind of guy.  Following your recommendation broke a
couple things, but nothing that could not be fixed in 5 minutes.

This is how things ended up:

In ch-2.scm:
(module ch-2 mzscheme
  ; - A collection of super-clever solutions to problems in my
textbook
(provide $FUNCTION_NAMES))

In ch-2-tests.scm:
(module ch-2-tests mzscheme
  (require "ch-2.scm")
  (require "dp-test-framework.scm")
  ;  - The test suite for my impressive solutions.
)

In dp-test-framework.scm:
(module dp-test-framework mzscheme
  ;a pretty cute way to run tests and aggregate the results
(provide $A_COUPLE_FUNCTIONS))


Based on what you see above, do I understand module, require and
provide?  Is this a good way to work with Scheme?  Do you have any
pointers for a newbie?  I look forward to hearing your response.
Thanks for your help so far.

Sincerely,
Daniel
