URL: http://mjr.towers.org.uk/swn/

        This is a round-up of news and announcements related to the
        Scheme programming language, mostly taken from newsgroups,
        mailing lists and web sites that I'm aware of.  Feel free to
        send me more.  The aim is to publish in multiple formats on the
        web each week, but more on that very soon.  (Date: 2003-04-29)

Schemix 2.4.20

        Schemix is a Scheme system, implemented as a patch to the Linux
        kernel.  Currently the system can be successfully compiled into
        a 2.4.20 kernel, which then reads and executes Scheme code from
        /dev/schemix. Any output is written to /dev/schemix.

dmd- 0.6

        dmd- is a daemon managing daemons (or daemons-managing daemon)
        written in guile as a replacement for the SysV-init with a
        powerful and beautiful dependency-based system.  This release
        adds docstring support and an "unkown service" service, as well
        as other minor changes.  It was designed for GNU/Hurd, but has
        been tested on GNU/Linux too.
