Not so. This is not hard. I have a working solution that I implemented last night that obviates the need for a modern mode _image_ in Allegro CL. It's now a variable with some support machinery around it. John thinks so little of changing his code that I'm sure he won't object to the minor changes this will require in code that blithely assumes "Modern mode". No changes are required to code that blithely assumes standard behavior, of course. #:Erik -- ALGORITHM: a procedure for solving a mathematical problem in a finite number of steps that frequently involves repetition of an operation.
