BTW, I'm interested why the plt-scheme supporters are hanging around the guile mailing list? For the guile people, I think you're missing a big opportunity to supply guile pre-built in binary form, especially on Windows where it's harder to build. (It aint a walk in the park on Linux either). Bundle goops and gtk into a Windows build with full Linux compatibility and I think you have a very attractive app. Lots of people, especially governments must have multi-platform compatibility and it is a shoe in for gnu software. I will also look at lilypond to see if that helps. _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
