Hi Danny,

I'm also having problems trying to install Simply-Scheme.  They appear to
be different than Ambjorn's problems.

I'm using DrScheme, version 372.

Using the instructions found here:
http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dyoo/cs3/simply-scheme/

I changed language to Pretty Big.
I ran:
(require (planet "simply-scheme.ss" ("dyoo" "simply-scheme.plt" 1 1)))
and got:

syntax: no pattern variables before ellipses in template
setup-plt: Error during Compiling .zos for Simply Scheme
(/home/ckasso/.plt-scheme/planet/300/372/cache/dyoo/simply-scheme.plt/1/1)
setup-plt:   syntax: no pattern variables before ellipses in template

I deleted the cache and tried:
(require (planet "tool.ss" ("dyoo" "simply-scheme.plt")))
I got the same error as before plus:

.plt-scheme/planet/300/372/cache/dyoo/simply-scheme.plt/1/1/tool.ss:15:51:
syntax: no pattern variables before ellipses in template in: ...
