1.Detail information about SS file extension: Scheme Source Code

File type Scheme Source Code Category Developer Files
Developer N/A File format N/A
Description SS file is a Scheme Source Code. The ss file extension is associated with Scheme, a functional programming language and one of the two main dialects of the programming language Lisp, that first appeared in 1975.

Scheme is often used in computer science curricula and programming language research, due to its ability to represent many programming abstractions with its simple primitives. It is also an ideal test bed for compilation and interpretation techniques since it is possible to write a simple, yet fully standards-compliant Scheme interpreter in just a few days.

Scheme is a dialect of Lisp that stresses conceptual elegance and simplicity. It is much smaller than Common Lisp; the language specification is about 50 pages, compared to Common Lisp's 1300 page draft standard.

Advocates of Scheme often find it amusing that the entire Scheme standard is shorter than the index to Guy Steele's "Common Lisp: the Language, 2nd Edition".

Unlike the Scheme standard, the Common Lisp standard has a large library of utility functions, a standard object-oriented programming facility (CLOS), and a sophisticated condition handling system.

The ss file contains source code written in Scheme programming language.

Can't open a SS file?

When you click a file to open it, operating system examines the filename extension. If operating system recognizes the filename extension, it opens the file in the program that is associated with that filename extension. When operating system does not recognize a filename extension, you receive the following message:

”Can't open this file: example.SS”。

To open this file, you install one of the applications from the list of software programs that you found here, you should be able to open, edit or convert the file with the SS extension without any issue.


Where I can download the application that support SS file?

If you do not know where you can download the application from our list, click on the link (which is the name of the program), you will find more information there on the location where to download the required application. Most often they are the websites of software manufacturers.


How to change file associations?

  • Right-click a file with the extension whose association you want to change, and then click "Open With".
  • In the "Open With" dialog box, click the program whith which you want the file to open, or click "Browse" to locate the program that you want.
  • Select the ”Always use the selected program to open this kind of file” check box.


Can I change the extension of SS files?

Changing the filename extension of a file is not a good idea. When you change a file's extension, you change the way programs on your computer read/open the file. The problem is, changing the file extension does not change the file format. Select a software program from our list and install it on your computer. If the file has not opened correctly, you have to look for a different software program from our list. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.


What else may cause problems width open a SS file?

The reasons for the lack of the ability to open a SS file on your computer may be at least several. The easiest thing is to find a suitable application installed on your computer, which will open a SS file. If there is still something wrong, you might want to check:

  • Whether the SS file is damaged.
  • Whether the SS file is incorrectly linked in the registry entries.
  • Whether the SS file extension has been accidentally removed from the Windows registry.
  • Whether the installation of an application that supports the SS file format is incompletely.
  • Whether the SS file is infected.
  • Whether the drivers of the equipment used for opening a SS file are up to date.
  • Whether your computer has enough hardware resources to open a SS file.

If the SS file still not working with your software after eliminating the above shortcomings? That means that the problem is more complex and requires the help of a specialist.
