We've chosen to deal with the issue another way, namely by eliminating the command-line option business, and by splitting the Scheme-script executable into several according to language dialect. This means the Scheme script executable now only has one argument before the filename (the entry procedure) which makes it suitable for putting it on the first line. Thus, if you know the absolute location of the executable, you can do without the shell trampoline. Watch out for a revision soon. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
