524
525 * scheme-evaluation.texi (Expression Syntax): Turned syntax
526 description into a table, @deffn is not really up to the task.
527
528 2004-02-18 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
529

685 first time 'round (like me). Make graphical indicators samples,
686 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
687 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
688 readers not to forget the difference.

1367 from gh.texi to data-rep.texi. Both files already had similar

1370 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
1371 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1372 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1422 Blocks): Move malloc-stats to memory management chapter.
1423
1424 * scheme-procedures.texi (Syntax Rules): Remove mention of
1425 use-modules for loading syncase; only use-syntax really works.
1426 Thanks to Panagiotis Vossos for spotting this.
1427
1428 * program.texi (Scheme vs C): New node, with existing material
1429 taken from chapter intro.
1430 (Programming Overview): New intro para to introduce example of
1431 Guile integration:
