Re: AIX version of scsh

I tried to get scsh to run on an RS6000 at HKU, but I couldn't get foreign
function call to work. You don't have text symbols of the form _main or
_printf. You have data symbols of the form .main and .printf, and these
are sort of like closures in Scheme: they contain data and code pointer,
and so the function call protocol given one is a little different. I was
unable to get it to work. Perhaps if I'd had detailed documentation I could
have done it, but I was working in the dark.
