The original poster was so ignorant that he knew nothing
whatsoever about Usenet; in fact, he may not have known that
he was posting to Usenet. Consequently, each paragraph in
his post was one gigantic line. I broke his line for him.

In this and other posts he has provided evidence that he
is ignorant about higher-level languages and higher-level
programming concepts. In fact, he has shown that he finds
high-level concepts difficult or impossible to grasp.

(define (make-fib-gen)
(let ((a 1) (b 1))
(lambda ()
(begin0 a
(set!-values (a b) (values b (+ a b)))))))

(define fib0 (make-fib-gen))
(define fib1 (make-fib-gen))

(do ((i 5 (- i 1))) ((zero? i))
(display (fib0)) (display " "))

===>
1 1 2 3 5

(do ((i 6 (- i 1)))
((zero? i))
(display (list (fib0) (fib1)))
(newline))

===>
(8 1)
(13 1)
(21 2)
(34 3)
(55 5)
(89 8)

(define (make-accumulator)
(let ((accum '()))
(lambda xs
(if (null? xs)
(reverse accum)
(set! accum (cons (car xs) accum))))))

(define odds (make-accumulator))
(define evens (make-accumulator))
(define all (make-accumulator))

(do ((i 9 (- i 1)))
((zero? i) (values (all) (odds) (evens)))
(let ((n (fib1)))
((if (odd? n) odds evens) n)
(all n)))

===>
(13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610)
(13 21 55 89 233 377)
(34 144 610)

Can we keep it civil? There is (mostly) no need to be calling people
names.

And you are correct - most people today who do post to Usenet do so
through web gateways. Being a gmail address, the poster probably was
on Google Groups. Thankfully GG has been shut down.
