While using the foreign function interface of TinyScheme might work, for what you are trying to do it is not the best approach. You should really look at implementing it as a TinyScheme extension. Take a look at the re and tsx extensions for TinyScheme to see how extensions work. Extensions can be loaded at run-time (although this feature is currently disabled). By putting your pixel operations you will make it possible for other users to make use of your routines without the need to compile a modified version of the Scheme interpreter. I plan on enabling the loading of extensions at run-time at some point. The main reason it hasn't been turned on yet is that I do not know whether the code that loads extensions is portable to other operating systems. -- Cheers!
