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

 725         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
 726         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
 727         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
 728         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
 729         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
 730         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
 731         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
 732         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
 733         (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
 734         appear together in the printed manual.

 744
 745         * appendices.texi (Obtaining and Installing Guile): Moved to
 746         become a chapter in ...
 747         * intro.texi: ... Part I: Introduction to Guile.
 748
 749         * scm.texi (I/O Extensions): Moved to become a section of ...

 768
 769 2001-10-27  Gary Houston  <ghouston@arglist.com>

 772         and updated links (I don't know if it should remain in the
