1099 Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
1100 first time 'round (like me). Make graphical indicators samples,
1101 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
1102 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
1103 readers not to forget the difference.
1105 2003-11-17 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
1107 * scheme-modules.texi: Document '@' and '@@'.

1735 2002-08-08 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
1737 * scheme-binding.texi: Don't talk about 'bound?' which is gone.
1738 Thanks to Christopher Cramer.
1740 2002-08-06 Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>
1742 * scheme-memory.texi (Memory Blocks): add scm_calloc, scm_gc_calloc.

1785 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
1786 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1787 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1844 taken from chapter intro.

2261 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
