Abstract

Scheme's i/o primitives are extended by adding three new procedures that

• create an input port from a string,
• create an output port whose contents are accumulated in Scheme's working memory instead of an external file, and
• extract the accumulated contents of an in-memory output port and return them in the form of a string.
