 190         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
 191         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
 192         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
 193         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
 194         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
 195         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
 196         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
 197         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
 198         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
 199         appear together in the printed manual.

 208         Part II rather than an appendix.
 209
 210         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
 211         become a chapter in ...
 212         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
 213
 214         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
 215         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
 216
 217         * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...
 218         * scheme-control.texi (Control Mechanisms): ... this chapter.

 227         to string/string to date converters): New nodes.

 232         * scripts.texi: Document `--debug' and `--no-debug'.
 233
 234 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 235
 236         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
 237         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
 238         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)

 293
 294         The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
 295         from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
 296         prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
