264 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
265 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
266 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
267 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
268 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

327 (SRFI-13): Changed paragraph about bindings both in the code and
330 * misc-modules.texi (Formatted Output): Tyop fix.

365 The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
366 from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
367 prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
