Hi folks,
Thanks, Felix, for answering this one. Is there a directive we could
add to hart itself, to automate the require-for-syntax?
Basile, I hope you enjoy using Hart!

Hi folks,
The current "base64" egg for Chicken 3 builds, but gives me incorrect
results. The non-working version is by Bailey, ported by Felix. (I
found an older version in Scheme by Felix that works correctly.)
Sorry for not debugging the problem, but attached is a test program

Hi folks, it looks like base64 under chicken-hygienic doesn't import
properly -- I get the import.so but not the real one.
I used the new chicken-install to fetch base64, though I don't think
that's relevant.

that uses higher-level macro systems? I'd rather not rewrite it in

I usually do csc -X module1 -R module2 myfile.scm (where module1 is

Hi folks,
I find that I use these two procedures frequently, and I'd love to see
them in an egg so I don't need to keep including them locally. Perhaps
is someone interested in working on a shared misc-combinators egg, to
store handy little things like this?
If such an egg exists and I'm not awar

Neat!
Mark, you may not believe this, but a few months ago I started writing
a stack-based language in Chicken, and the first name I chose for it
was 'Quacktor'. Great minds think alike, and fools seldom differ...
Also, John Cowan has worked on a Joy egg, if I'm not mistaken; you
might find that

I like cleverness of call-with-current-continuation.org. But it seems as if
Chicken is growing up, and a boring-but-descriptive domain name is a good
idea to welcome and retain new
Hi folks,
I just started a new egg in the svn repo. It's nothing worth looking at yet,
I just want to make sure I didn't do something stupid that would break
anything. Here's what I did:
cd release/3/
svn mkdir locality
svn mkdir locality/trunk
cp locality/trunk
svn commit locality
