Hi all,

I am pleased to announce the Scheme Cookbook:

  http://www.schemecookbook.org/

The Schematics Scheme Cookbook is a collaborative effort to
produce practical documentation for using the Scheme
language, particularly in commercial environments. It is
focused on PLT Scheme, although other Scheme dialects are
supported as far as possible.

Enjoy!

Noel

Subject: [plt-scheme] Where is resolver.ss?

The docs for PLaneT (5.4.1 in the MzScheme language manual) imply that you 
can load the planet resolver using (require (lib "resolver.ss" "planet")). 
 However, I can't find this collection, and can't the require doesn't work 
- are the docs incorrect, or am I reading something into them that I 
shouldn't?

If you have version 208 or higher, the planet collection should exist in 
plt/collects and that require line should succeed, though it won't do 
anything useful. The internal PLaneT implementation uses that file, but 
you should be able to use the planet require forms (e.g. the ones listed 
beside each package on http://planet.plt-scheme.org/) directly without 
having to require anything first.

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could tell me where to find TeX2page's
tex2page.sty file that's mentioned in the documentation:
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/dorai/tex2page/tex2page-doc-Z-H-2.html.

Many thanks!
Dave

Subject: [plt-scheme] A dummy syntax context

I am trying to make a readable<%> snip% exapand to a define using an 
identifier found within the snip%'s text%. To do this I a using 
symbol->string on the contents of the text% and then datum->syntax-object 
on the resultant symbol. The problem I am having, however, is that I need 
a 
syntax context (color) for datum->syntax-object. Normally, one would just 
use something like #'dummy for the context, however, being that the syntax 

is an identifier being defined, drscheme complains with:

define-values: identifier for a top-level definition already has a module 
context in: foo

Where foo is the symbol I am converting to a syntax-object and using in a 
define.

I am calling datum->syntax-object from within the module that provides my 
snip, so it is getting that module's context. I don't know how to take the 

context out of the syntax object.

Do you need a context for this particular identifier? Most identifiers
produced by `read' have no lexical context. In this case, it sounds
like you should use #f for the context argument to
`datum->syntax-object' so that the identifier will have no context.
