Scheme Standards documents

This area contains various documents from the RNRS Authors. It does not contain the IEEE standard document (P1178), as that document is not freely distributable. From the Scheme FAQ:

IEEE P1178 is IEEE Standard 1178-1990, "IEEE Standard for the Scheme Programming Language", published by IEEE in 1991. ISBN 1-55937-125-0. It is now also an ANSI standard. It may be ordered from IEEE by calling 1-800-678-IEEE or 908-981-1393 or writing IEEE Service Center, 445 Hoes Lane, P.O. Box 1331, Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331, and using order number SH14209 ($28 for IEEE members, $40 others).
