Two minor corrections Abdulaziz Ghuloum 23 Oct 2006 11:21 UTC

Greetings,

The first paragraph of "Specification" states:

     These procedures are stable when called with predicates which
     return #f when applied to identical arguments. These procedures
     have asymptotic time and space needs no larger than O(N*log(N)),
     where N is the sum of the lengths of the sequence arguments.

Instead of "These", you probably meant to say "The sort and sort!" since
the two statements above do not apply to the other three procedures.
And
since these procedures take only one sequence, the above should say
"where N is the length of the sequence".

Also, the description of merge! states:

     The first pair of the result will be either the first pair of
     list1 or the first pair of list2.

Since either/both of list1 and list2 may be empty (nonpair), the above
may
be worded as "the result will be eq? to either list1 or list2".

Aziz,,,
