Installing PLAI Scheme

The textbook presupposes that you have access to a recent version of DrScheme (ideally, version 372). Download DrScheme here. It also presupposes the PLAI extensions. Here are the author's instructions for downloading and installing these extensions:

In DrScheme's File menu, select Install .plt File... and paste this URL:
http://www.cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Books/ProgLangs/plai-371.plt

(The package will work with either v371 or v372.)
This automatically installs the language levels for the text. Please re-start DrScheme. The language levels will be visible from the Language menu's Choose Language... entry (or via the language chooser at the bottom-left).
