[Chicken-users] Soundex

[Kyle R. Burton]

(I hope I'm not missing something simple again).


I see that there is a Soundex that is part of slib, and that slib is
compatible with Chicken - but I couldn't figure out how to get it up
and running in my chicken instance.  I saw referenced at one point
that there was an slib.egg, but I couldn't find it.  I also saw that
there is an slib checked in on callcc.org's svn repository, but I
couldn't figure out how to get it.

After some motion and effort I gave up and just ported a Soundex
implementation from another language to Chicken.  I haven't read
through how to create an egg out of it yet, but I figured I'd offer it
to the list in case someone wants to egg-ifiy it or lead me through
the process.

The implementation is here:

There are 2 .scm files of interest, soundex.scm, and fuzzy-lib.scm
(some support utils, I suspect some of which duplicate some of the
chicken standard library).

I've also got a NYSIIS implementation there, and a C based text-brew
implementation with a Chicken wrapper near by:
