I've started looking at that, but not only is my time limited, so is my skill/knowledge (at least one of those two, hopefully just the one that's easier to fix). http://www.mit.edu/people/wandy/fps/porting.html lists porting issues the authors are aware of; most of these looks fairly straightforward. Working from the top: R5RS features: We use R5RS multi-value return forms: VALUES, CALL-WITH-VALUES, and RECEIVE. I can't find RECEIVE in r5rs; maybe it was in an earlier draft but removed from the final? In any case, FPS has a macro defining it in terms of call-with-values. Guile's (ice-9 syncase) has call-with-values and values procedures defined that look like they might do the right thing; what I don't understand is how to use them. They're (define)d, not (define-public)d, so as far as I understand, they can only be used from the syncase module; they're not used there though, so I expect I'm missing something in the guile module system. Anyone have some pointers?
