Announcing SIOD version 2.9
New features: a set of data-file I/O primitives:
fopen, fclose, getc,putc, fputs, fread, fwrite, fseek, ftell
fast-read, fast-print
a simple trace package (optional C procedure to link in)
Available for anonymous ftp from nexus.yorku.ca
in the implementations section: pub/scheme/imp.
Also available from world.std.com under src/lisp.
---------
The fast-read and fast-print primitives allow control over when and how
"symbols" are optimized into index references. This simple feature, along
with the ability to to ftell/fseek on a file, can be used to implement
various lisp "database" capabilities.
