Yes and no. Yes: The `ffi/unsafe/vm` library provides access to Chez Scheme's `eval`, so you can use `(vm-eval '(fork-thread ...))`. Even more directly, you can use the `ffi/unsafe/os-thread` library to create a Chez Scheme thread. No: Accessing Chez Scheme directly is unsafe, because you can break Racket invariants, and there are some limitations on using Chez Scheme functions in Racket and vice versa. See `vm-primitive` for more information. Matthew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
