 149         * gh.texi, data-rep.texi: Moved `@deftyp {Data type} SCM' line
 150         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
 151         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
 152         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
 153         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
 154         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
 155         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

 417         `scm_c_string2str', `scm_c_substring2str' and `scm_c_symbol2str'

 624         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
 625         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
 626         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
 627         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
 628         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
 629         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
 630         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
 631         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
 632         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
 633         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
 634         appear together in the printed manual.

 643         Part II rather than an appendix.
 644
 645         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
 646         become a chapter in ...
 647         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
 648
 649         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...

 668
 669 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 670

 672         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
 673         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)

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