This archive contains freely available technical reports and published papers, as well as PhD dissertations, written by members of the Rice Programming Languages Team on Scheme programming technology and related topics.
Since Matthias Felleisen and some of his students moved from Rice University to Northeastern University in the summer of 2001, please see the Northeastern PLT Publications Page for recent publications by former members of Rice PLT.
Note: Some people have complained of problems when they try to read
these documents in their Web browser (by just clicking on the links). This doesn't
appear to be due an error in our server configuration, but rather due to browser
misconfiguration. The documents should have a MIME content type of PostScript

Browsers sometimes ignore the encoding. If you have this problem, please try
to find someone who can help you configure the browser; until then, you can
