A DSSSL shell would be nice, if it could be done. I don't think anyone has done it yet. It would be useful be able to play with FOs on the command-line. In FreeBSD, there are a couple of shells that do scheme. SCSH (scheme Shell) and esh (a simplified scheme shell). I have played with both, and find that esh is easier to use, and has better instructions. --Allan > -----Original Message----- > From: DPawson@xxxxxxxxxxx [SMTP:DPawson@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Thursday, June 24, 1999 7:57 AM > To: dssslist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: Documentation for DSSSL > > Ralph Ferris wrote: > >This paper, however, doesn't include a description of the > >Scheme "utility" > >functions (e.g., string->number) that are important to writing > >functions > >for style sheets.
