Hi,

We are running cmulisp 17 + pcl (on sparcs) here and I'm trying to get
Ontolingua 3.1.2 up on it.

I commented out EPIKIT-related symbol in defsystem.lisp (not needed).  I got
messages (during compile attempts) indicating that symbols such as NIL and
CLASS were already defined when referenced by the KIF package.  I managed to
get around this (temporarily) in kernel/packages.lisp.  We now get the
following message (full transcript at end) :

Type-error in KERNEL::OBJECT-NOT-LIST-ERROR-HANDLER:
   :OFFSET is not of type LIST

I noticed that cmulisp is not on the list of "official" ontolingua platforms
but, given its widespread use, I would assume that _someone_ has ported
ontolingua in one of its forms to cmucl.  Can anyone put me in touch with
any such soles ?

Thanks for any help (and Merry Christmas from Down Under),
