If I remember correctly, the no-fail option was intended as a direct (if inverted) replacement for an option called "exclusive" (which can still be seen in at least R5.91RS), which would cause an exception to be raised if a file the program is trying to create already exists, not as a general exception-prevention option. Possibly the name is unfortunate. > Do R6RS experts see anything wrong with my conclusions above? I probably don't qualify as an expert in your book, but I don't see anything wrong with your conclusions. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
