+An incomplete port of the Scheme shell (scsh) was once available for
+Guile as a separate package. However this code has bitrotten
+somewhat. The pieces are available in Guile's legacy CVS repository,
+which may be browsed at
+@url{http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/guile/guile-scsh/?root=guile}.
For information about scsh see
@url{http://www.scsh.net/}.
-The closest emulation of scsh can be obtained by running:
-
-@lisp
-(load-from-path "scsh/init")
-@end lisp
-
-See the USAGE file supplied with guile-scsh for more details.
+This bitrotting is a bit of a shame, as there is a good deal of
+well-written Scheme code in scsh. Adopting this code and porting it to
+current Guile should be an educational experience, in addition to
+providing something of value to Guile folks.
