Hi all,

I've selected Stk as a good Tk interface, mainly for one reason: the ability
to define data structures. I've noticed that not all features (nice ones) 
from scheme appear in Stk, for instance there is no define-structure.

I know Stk included CLOS to define powerful class definition but it only
works in dynamic-loading architectures (ie SUNOS). 

Anyone knows why there are these differences from scheme to Stk? 
Is the define structure special form really unnecessary? How can a class
may be defined in a no dynamic architecture?

thanks in advance,
