Yes, scheme --version works, although you'll have to parse the output a bit.
When I added the support to version 9.1 I started from swank-mit-scheme.scm, but there were some issues with it and it didn't work very well, so I ended rewriting most of it. It might be that the version in 9.1, in "src/runtime/swank.scm" is a better fit, even for older versions. But I haven't tried it. 2012/3/21 Tamás Kovács <kovis...@gmail.com>: > Thanks, Chris.
