we'll put you on the team.
Visit the Scheme Underground Web page for more information on good hacks at

\begin{itemize}
\item Threads.
\item An X gui interface. (Needs threads.)
\item A better C function/data-structure interface. This is not easy.

\item More network protocols. Telnet and ftp would be the most important.
\item Port Edwin, and emacs text editor written in MIT Scheme, to scsh.
Combine it with scsh's OS interfaces to make a visual shell.
\item Manual hacking.

\item Soup up the markup processor, and redo manual in markup. Generate
{\LaTeX}, HTML, and info versions. Alternatively, persuade some kind

soul to hand-port manual to HTML or info.
\end{itemize}

\item Job control, after \ex{jcontrol.scm}
1995-10-13 23:34:21 -04:00
\item Better static heap linker.

\item Gnu readline lib.
