Afaik the port was done by Peter Lane, who still maintains the non-Chicken version of pstk. He doesn't seem to keen on providing Chicken support nowadays, though. Perhaps a port to Chicken 5 could actually be based on his r7rs version, though. Your version is still available on Sourceforge:

I was once the maintainer of pstk. But I can tell you that I haven't touched it in years, and it fell off of SourceForge in one of their restructurings, so I have no intention of looking at it again. Several years ago someone, I don't recall who, forked pstk for Chicken. I was not involved in the

Hi, I'm planning on using Tk in a project, and was wondering what's the current status of Tk support in Chicken. So Chicken 4 has two eggs, pstk and tk. Of these, pstk is listed under "Unsupported or redundant". What's the reason for that? I thought pstk was essentially an enhanced version
