I grabbed the source and looked at it. As Daniel wrote, there are three files with this clause in them. The one that references the T Project implements an utility function that sorts a list given a comparison operator. It could be reimplemented from scratch in a few hours, which might even be faster than trying to track down the original authors. Two other files reference "the MIT Scheme project" in a similar way. These are about three thousand lines in total, with comments that indicate that they have been very heavily modified since they left MIT. No names of individual original-authors-at-MIT are given. MIT Scheme, in the mean time, has evolved into MIT/GNU Scheme, but still seems to be recognizeable as the project those licenses refer to. Considering the GNU-ness of MIT/GNU Scheme (and also the fact that its primary author turns out to be a Debian Developer), it is quite probable that the current MIT/GNU Scheme project will waive their right to receive postcards about character and string primitives in scsh. A request for this should ideally go through Olin Shivers, though. -- Henning Makholm "... and that Greek, Thucydides"
