Scheme Weekly News

	This is a round-up of news and announcements related to the
	Scheme programming language, mostly taken from newsgroups,
	mailing lists and web sites that I'm aware of.	Feel free to
	send me more.  The aim is to publish in multiple formats on the
	web each week, but more on that very soon.  (Date: 2002-09-23)

New paper: XML, XPath, XSLT implementations as SXML, SXPath, and SXSLT

	The paper briefly describes SXML and SXML tools, and then
	elaborates a longer, practical example of a real-life SXML
	application. The paper can serve as a sort of a documentation
	for the SXML tools. (PDF format link)

Swindle for PLT 202

	Swindle is a collection of modules that extend PLT Scheme.
	The main feature which started this project is a CLOS-like object
	system based on Tiny-CLOS from Xerox, but there is a lot more
	-- a generalized Lisp-like `set!'  and related functionality,
	lambda argument &-keywords, a lot of convenient syntaxes etc.

SRFI 37: args-fold: a program argument processor

	Draft SRFI for processing command-line arguments.  Currently,
	many implementations provide access to this through an argv
	structure, but not always in a similar manner.

	numbering and long articles.

Scribe1.1a

	Scribe is a Scheme system for text processing.	It looks like a

	language.  New version enables easy CGI execution.
