  93
  94         * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
  95         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
  96         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
  97         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
  98         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
  99         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
 100         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
 101         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
 102         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
 103         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
 104         appear together in the printed manual.
 105
 106         * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
 107         debugging.texi.
 108
 109         * appendices.texi: Removed.

 112         material that used to be in appendices.texi, but now a chapter in
 113         Part II rather than an appendix.
 114
 115         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
 116         become a chapter in ...
 117         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
 118
 119         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...
 120         * scheme-io.texi (Input and Output): ... this chapter.
 121
 122         * scm.texi (Handling Errors): Moved to become a section of ...

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

 138
 139 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>
 140
 141         * guile.texi, scsh.texi: removed obsolete guile-scsh material
 142         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
 143         main menu.  It's like slib I think.)
