 ... veh! Indeed - one of the reasons I wouldn't touch that system - to dependend on a single implementation[1].

Hey, some late evening goodies+

 Cheers, RalfD


[1] N.B: I really value LispWorks - the LW-People I met in Cambridge and on varios Lisp
Conferences where nice and experts in their field. But we all have seen Lisp Companies 
disapear (Genera, Harlequin, Macintosh Common Lisp ...). I'd hate to one day wake up to
find out that all my work can't be used any more because <Lisp Company>/Apple did something
with my runtime environment. That's why I'm so eager to keep old systems running (I do have
a collection of old hardware and emulators to run old stuff, but that's not something that
will last longer than say 10²0 years. The music I do in my other life is more than 500
years old can still be performed ;-)
