John, If your name is ever submitted for sainthood, I'll sign the documents. Many thanks from a grateful teacher! (Now I need to learn how to do this stuff myself...) Regards, Josh On Sun, Oct 22, 2017 at 8:58 PM, John Clements wrote: > Okay, this might now be

Okay, this might now be done. You should be able to install it using raco pkg install simply-scheme OR you can use the package manager from within DrRacket. MAJOR disclaimer: I am not a user of Simply Scheme, and this package does not appear to include any tests. However, it appears that

Okay, I spent half an hour on this, and I think I’m done… um, almost. Actually, it appears that my quick job of updating the drracket tool has resulted in a configuration that can reliably make DrRacket seg fault (!). Since this package does not involve FFI in any way, this is a bug in

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

Re: [racket-users] Can anyone help me with a change?

I don’t think packages on PLaneT can be updated but I may be wrong. I have moved things from PLaneT to the Racket Package system, and it isn’t very hard, certainly wasn’t time consuming (an evening). 1. Make a new github repo 2. add the old code, 3. Run it to see what breaks 4. Fix it - I don’t

Hi, I think it's the case that making the change to `random` is simple (or removing it if that's the appropriate thing), though I *believe* that Danny would be the only one who could re-upload it to planet. If you're willing to get it from a different source, e.g. pkgs.racket-lang.org, then it

Racket Community, We use the book Simply Scheme at my high school. Danny Yoo did a wonderful job adapting the library content for that book, but he left the code for random numbers in place. The book assumed versions of Scheme that might not have *random* and provided a fixed seed, meaning
