While I appreciate the level of detail that Stephen provided, I am
absolutely slammed and don't know github usage, so what looks smallish to
you (and probably would be for me if I were better educated on the system)
is looking mighty large to me.  In terms of the fix, what needs to change
is that there is code in simply.scm that needs to be commented out;
everything else remains as it originally was.  And the code is actually
documented within simply.scm: it says to remove the RANDOM code if the
underlying interpreter supports it (which is the case here) and that's it.

The version of Scheme this was designed for was at UC-Berkeley.  It
wouldn't surprise me if there was some common ground with MIT Scheme, but I
don't know for sure.

I do plan to learn github at some point, but I'm kind of stuck at the
moment.  If it only took an evening from where I am right now, I'd do this,
but my lack of familiarity with the overall system has me very
uncomfortable.
