[Larceny-users] Error on trying to get started

[Russell Wallace]

I've downloaded larceny on Windows and I'm trying to use it to run a
minimal test script, like (print 42). When I run larceny.bat without
arguments I get a repl, but when I run it with test.scm as an argument, I
get 'error: deprecated heap file syntax'. What am I doing wrong?

It sounds as though you should be typing

larceny < test.scm
or
larceny -- test.scm

The second of those shouldn't work unless you're using the -r5rs option,
which is the default.

For a summary of command-line syntax, type

larceny --help
