What were you trying to do?
Do my 6.001 problem set 8.
What's wrong:
I loaded the problem set files and it gave me an
"Unbound variable string?" error. I redefined "string?"
as "(lambda (x) false)" since it wasn't really required
in the program.
Then it gave me an "Unbound variable call-with-current-continuation"
error--this was more serious since the program (hey, I didn't
write it) requires it and I have no idea how to fix it.
A few other randomly chosen primitives, which are supposed
to work according to the /mit/scheme/documentation/manual
files, didn't work as well.
What should have happened:
Scheme on Athena should have accepted these.
Maybe there's a bug which is preventing Scheme from seeing
the machine-code definitions for these (I don't have time
nor do I feel like going through exactly which commands
don't work) commands. They're supposed to be predefined,
aren't they?
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I don't know; 6.001 Fall 1991 Problem Set 8,
the /mit/scheme/documentation/manual files, whatever.
