Yes, I know. I have fixed bugs in that code. :) No contracts is the obvious one for now. But I know Matthew also has plans to redo some of the top-level only test suites in collects/tests/racket and if this were available, he might use it (altho I don't know that he would). Something minimal could depend really only on equal?, io, some simple macros, and functions I think, so it seems possible to depend only on #%kernel, but probably that's too much work. How difficult would just racket/base be? Robby _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
