I'm OK with that.  The reason that I didn't suggest it straight
away is that the PLT-scheme language took on a few fairly
radical changes when they bumped the version from 3xy to 4.x.y,
to that code that worked with the earlier version would not
necessarily work with the latter.  People using the old drscheme
port might have wanted to keep using it.  I think that enough
time has probably passed, now, that anyone who cared has already
made the switch and changed what they needed to change, so the
old one could go away now.

Just my few cents (blame the fluctuating AUS$ for imprecision...).

Cheers,

Andrew
