I'm happy to do that, but it would be some work -- both documents have fine tone, but they are not the same tone ;) Also because there's no gnuplot library, it's hard to cover the spectrum of "extending applications in Guile". On the other hand, there is GNU plotutils, which does have a library: http://www.gnu.org/software/plotutils/ But on the other other hand, it seems quite bitrotten... > What's the dynamic FFI?

See http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/master/guile.html/Dynamic-FFI.html#Dynamic-FFI. I just updated the manual snapshot on the web site, by the way. Took a while, as I have completely forgotten how to use CVS :P Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
