   9   contain) reference documentation on all aspects of Guile.

  22 The file `oldfmt.c' contains a function which can be used by
  23 application writers to support both old-style and new-style error
  24 format strings.

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