Not all. You don't need the equivalent of `with-open-input-file', for instance, since `current-input-port' would never sensibly be set to a binary port. You can also use the same procedure for closing a binary port. -- Brian Mastenbrook [email protected] http://brian.mastenbrook.net/ _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
