21 | The `sources' directory includes some stuff relevant to the Guile |
22 | reference manual, and which may eventually be folded in to it. It's | |
23 | not immediately relevant, however, which is why it's not in this | |
24 | directory. | |

26 | The Revised^4 Report (r4rs.texi) is no longer in this distribution, as | |
27 | it is completely superseded by the Revised^5 Report. If you need to | |
28 | consult R4RS, it is still widely available, for example at | |
29 | http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/projects/info/SchemeDocs/r4rs/. |
