SLIB-3a1

Introduction to SLIB

The SLIB package is a portable library for the programming language Scheme. It provides a platform independent framework for using “packages” of Scheme procedures and syntax. SLIB contains useful packages for all Scheme implementations, including Guile. Its catalog can be transparently extended to accommodate packages specific to a site, implementation, user or directory.
