there's a simple reason for my question. i'm in the need to quickly
refresh my knowledge about the language because of a possible job in the
very near future. reading full books is a bit overhead in that short
time, and i tend to always find everything plausible in books without
being able to reproduce what i read. i rather like tutorials and
stuff that stays with the detail. but what i really want to reach is a
safe feeling. i just want to get sure about the current state of my
own, rusty knowledge about scheme. this is why i rather liked to 'test'
myself (like in school, but no multiple choice ;) the quick, easy and
dirty way.

regards,
maledetto <maledetto@online.de>
