Very nice. Although the book focuses on using DrScheme, I've tried a few examples with guile, an OpenSource implementation of Scheme found available for Linux, and they seem to work. For example, from section 2[1]: guile> (define (area-of-disk r) (* 3.14 (* r r))) guile> (area-of-disk 5) 78.5 [1] http://www.htdp.org/2003-09-26/Book/curriculum-Z-H-5.html Regards, - Robert http://www.cwelug.org/downloads Help others get OpenSource software.
