Hi David,

Sorry for the late reply.

David Jaquay <djaquay <at> gmail.com> skribis:

The text was changed in the meantime to this:

 -- Scheme Procedure: compose proc1 proc2 ...
     Compose PROC1 with the procedures PROC2 ...  such that the last
     PROC argument is applied first and PROC1 last, and return the
     resulting procedure.  The given procedures must have compatible
     arity.

How does that sound?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
