Hi, Daniel! This sounds very interesting. Is this date/time-manipulation code publically available? I think a comfortable, complete date/time-manipulation is one thing that Scheme is sorely lacking. We have SRFI-19, but it is a bit unwieldy and not very complete. (how, for example, do you convert a given time in a zone to another zone? How do you go back a month? etc) Cheers, Peter -- http://sjamaan.ath.cx -- "The process of preparing programs for a digital computer is especially attractive, not only because it can be economically and scientifically rewarding, but also because it can be an aesthetic experience much like composing poetry or music." -- Donald Knuth _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
