TinyScheme +(http://tinyscheme.sourceforge.net) is maintained by D. Souflis +(dsouflis@acm.org), and is based on MiniSCHEME version 0.85k4. + +Scheme is a very nice and powerful programming language, but the +basic language is very minimalistic in terms of library functions; +only basic file input / output functionality is specified. +Different implementations of the language (MIT Scheme, GUILE, +Bigloo...) provide their own extension libraries. TSX attempts to +provide commonly needed functions at a small cost in terms of +additional program footprint. The library is modularized, so that +it is possible (and easy!) to select desired functionality via +#defines in tsx.h. + + +INSTALLATION + +TSX has been tested on GNU/Linux 2.4.2 with gcc 2.96 and +libc-2.2.2, with TinyScheme 1.31. + +To install, copy the distribution file to the directory +where TinyScheme is installed (and where scheme.h lies), +and run make. If building succeeds, a file called tsx.so +should be created. This file can be loaded as a TinyScheme +extension with + + (load-extension "tsx-1.0/tsx") + +After loading TSX, you can make use of its functions. +To reduce footprint, you can choose the functionality which +will be included. To do so, have a look at tsx.h and +comment the #defines for unneeded modules. + +If you get compiler errors, make sure you have enabled +dynamic modules in your tinyscheme runtime (define USE_DL +somewhere near the top in scheme.h). + + +SAMPLE APPLICATIONS + +Three sample applications are distributed with TSX 1.0. +The code is not particularly elegant, nor written in proper +functional style, but is provided for illustration of the +implemented calls. + +-smtp.scm + Sends an email to the user getting the username from + the USER shell variable, connecting to the SMTP port + on the local machine. + +-listhome.scm + Provides a list of all the files on the user's home + directory (obtained with the HOME environment variable). + +-srepl.scm + Provides a socket-based read-eval-print-loop. It listens + for connections on the 9000 port of the local machines, + and executes the commands received. To test it, run + + telnet localhost 9000 + + after starting the sample application, and type Scheme + expressions. You will get the evaluations. To exit the + session, type "quit" and TinyScheme will exit, closing + the socket. The output of some functions will not + be the same as you would obtain on TinyScheme's + "command line", because standard output is not + redirected to the socket, but most commands work ok. + +You should copy these applications to the directory where +TinyScheme is installed (i.e., where the "scheme" binary +file resides), and can be run with: + + ./scheme listhome.scm + ./scheme smtp.scm + ./scheme srepl.scm + + +TSX FUNCTIONS + +The extension functions implemented by TinyScheme Extensions are +documented in the file "tsx-functions.txt". + +END |
