17The `sources' directory includes some stuff relevant to the Guile
18reference manual, and which may eventually be folded in to it. It's
19not immediately relevant, however, which is why it's not in this
20directory.

22The Revised^4 Report (r4rs.texi) is no longer in this distribution, as
23it is completely superseded by the Revised^5 Report. If you need to
24consult R4RS, it is still widely available, for example at
25http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/projects/info/SchemeDocs/r4rs/.
