That is an *excellent* idea, and I only wish we had thought of it. Unfortunately, I have to say that it just comes too late in the process. Fortunately, implementations that don't have the read and file libraries can easily use these stubs: (define (read-error? x) #f) (define (file-error? x) #f) -- John Cowan [email protected] http://ccil.org/~cowan Heckler: "Go on, Al, tell 'em all you know.
