Here's the initial text: 4.5 Using Guile Tools =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Guile also comes with a growing number of command-line utilities: a compiler, a disassembler, some module inspectors, and in the future, a system to install Guile packages from the internet. These tools may be invoked using the `guild' program. $ guild compile -o foo.go foo.scm wrote `foo.go' This program used to be called `guile-tools', and for backward compatibility it still may be called as such. However we changed the name to `guild', not only because it is pleasantly shorter and easier to read, but also because this tool will serve to bind Guile wizards together, by allowing hackers to share code with each other using a CPAN-like system. *Note Compilation::, for more on `guild compile'. A complete list of guild scripts can be had by invoking `guild list', or simply `guild'.

FWIW I have a draft of NEWS I'd like to push soonish. Perhaps we can release this week. Andy --=20 http://wingolog.org/
