    Here's the abstract:

    This SRFI defines ASCII-only
    equivalents to many of the character
    procedures in standard Scheme plus a
    few extra ones. Recent Scheme
    standards are based around Unicode but
    the significant syntactic elements in
    many file formats and network
    protocols are all ASCII. Such
    low-level code can be faster and
    easier to understand with ASCII
    primitives.

    Regards,


    SRFI Editor
