[Chicken-users] Online documentation "scan"
I hate to complain about the ongoing refinement of web-hosted Chicken
documentation but
[procedure] (proper-list? x) -> boolean
should "pop" more.
Suggest a point size constraint {description-text} < {procedure text}
< {in-section-header-text} where {procedure text} is as above, keeping
text-properties, such as bold, the same.
Sorry,
Kon
P.S. I know this is plain-text but common-denominator used when
recipients are unknown.

[Chicken-users] sql-de-lite integrated SQLite3 library
Jim, that's a perfect solution to a personal common problem and worry! What an awesome idea! Thank you very much!

Re: [Chicken-users] new egg server at call-cc.org

As the main cause of heavy load on that server was the chicken update cron job, I've taken steps to do that with svnsync now (and even written a tutorial on how to do it yourself for a nice local mirror: http://wiki.call-cc.org/running-an-egg-mirror ) Hopefully this will make chicken.kitten-tech more reliable in future... but more interestingly, maybe it will also make it easier for more people to run public mirrors so we can have more fallbacks ;-) ABS -- Alaric Snell-Pym http://www.snell-pym.org.uk/alaric/ ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
