Roger Critchlow (rec@arris.com) has generated a new set of patches for the
28sep90 release of Scheme->C.  The patch file is available for
anonymous ftp from 'gatekeeper.dec.com' [16.1.0.2]. The Scheme->C files
are in '/pub/DEC/Scheme-to-C'.  The new patch file is
REC-28sep90.patches.  He describes the patches as follows:

These patches are primarily of interest to users of the Intel 386
architecture under variations of System V.3 UNIX.  (My version of the
Sparc patches is included, but its only advantage over the merged
patch set is in the test directory.)  The 386 patches incorporate: 

	1) Miscellaneous improvements in System V signal handling and
	other os dependent functions.

	2) Shared libraries for the scheme run time and xlib interface
	libraries.

Also included are some things of more general interest:

	3) Patches to the test/*.sc file which has byte addressing
	dependencies in it.

	4) A constructed xlib/xwss.sch file, the one xlib header not
	included in the distribution.
