What about the fp egg--which uses silex to generate scheme code from a lexer spec--and links it directly into the resulting binary? Note that this scheme code (fp.l.scm) contains not only tables generated by silex, but also a verbatim chunk of 1,120 lines of code from silex.scm. Does this mean fp is now GPL? _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
