Subject: Problems translating  to loom
Hi, 
 I've just tried to translate the kif-ontology  in the examples
subdirectory of ontolingua to loom 2.0b2. Despite the various warnings
resulting from the fact that  member like things could not be translated to
:loom I get the following error in loom:

> Error: No applicable method for args:
>         (NIL)
>         to #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION LOOM::DEPENDENTS #xCEB24E>
> While executing: #<STANDARD-METHOD NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD (T)>

during the translation of 

(define-relation EMPTY (?x)
  "True of the empty set."
  :iff-def (= ?x (setof)))

 should I use another version of loom?.

Thanks 

Gerd

P.S.:  I would like to use the engr-math theories within loom. My
understanding is that a translation of this theories into loom is
difficult. Has anybody done  somthing like this before (I'm espescially
interested in the unit-and dimensions and the quantity-space things)
