| 9 | contain) reference documentation on all aspects of Guile. | |

| 17 | Please be aware that this is all very much work in progress (apart | |
| b9bf148f | 18 | from the Revised^5 Report). Bug reports and contributions are |
| c2dc2842 | 19 | welcome! |

| 21 | The file `oldfmt.c' contains a function which can be used by | |
| 22 | application writers to support both old-style and new-style error | |
| 23 | format strings. | |

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

| 30 | The Revised^4 Report (r4rs.texi) is no longer in this distribution, as | |
| 31 | it is completely superseded by the Revised^5 Report. If you need to | |
| 32 | consult R4RS, it is still widely available, for example at | |
| 33 | http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/projects/info/SchemeDocs/r4rs/. |
