It is focused on PLT Scheme, although other Scheme dialects are supported as far as possible. Enjoy!

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?   -- Gordon Weakliem http://www.eighty-twenty.net --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Wed, 01 Sep 2004 12:51:22 -0500 From: Jacob Matthews <jacobm@cs.uchicago.edu> To: plt-scheme@list.cs.brown.edu Subject: Re: [plt-scheme] Where is resolver.ss?

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. -jacob --__--__-- Message: 4 Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2004 16:39:39 -0400 From: "David J.

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. -mike --__--__-- Message: 6 From: Matthew Flatt <mflatt@cs.utah.edu> To: "Mike T.

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.
