The installation instructions on Sam's "documentation" page are  
bogus: "Typed Scheme is available as a package from PLaneT . It can  
be installed with the following require statement: (require  
("info.ss" ("plt" "typed-scheme.plt" 1)))".

These -- on the planet page -- are working fine for me, though you  
need to remember to quit drscheme and restart it.

Apologies from management for inadequate pre-release testing of
