If you want it to be a single file script you can execute, you can just make your file be:
#!/usr/bin/env racket #lang racket/base (module foo racket/base (provide x) (define x 5)) (module bar racket/base (require (submod ".." foo)) (display x)) (require 'foo 'bar) ~Leif Andersen On Wed, Jan 14, 2015 at 11:06 AM, Norman Gray <nor...@astro.gla.ac.uk> wrote: > > Jay, hello. > > > On 2015 Jan 14, at 13:41, Jay McCarthy <jay.mccar...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > 1.
