Hi Camm.

I checked into HEAD yesterday a fix which works with the test snippet you
provided in a separate email to Tim.  I note that the interface (on Unix
also I believe) is not robust in the sense that it doesn't check the type or
number of arguments to the function, but otherwise it looks fine.

No, but for the record it's caused by the following change:

http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/gcl/gcl/pcl/defsys.lisp.diff?r1=1.4&;
r2=1.5

the purpose of which escapes me.  The problem is that on Windows the name of
the file being passed to COMPILE-FILE in "pcl/defsys.lisp" is incomplete
when that new version of the file is used.

Reversing that change then leads to a further problem which I have yet to
investigate.

Cheers

Mike Thomas.
