Hello there,

I have a question. I have the sources of Kyoto Common Lisp.
There are many machines (Vax, Suns, etc..) on which this
Lisp version runs. Only not on my machine...
I want to run it on a PowerNode9000 (UTX2.1Bu01) of Encore (Gould). 
Before I start hacking myself I want to ask if someone else has done it before.
Yes? Would you please send me the files or the diffs.

Thank very much.
Cees Bol.

I have made KCL work on a PowerNode, but it was a big pain.
In particular, it is very difficult to make compiled code
loading work because of the way the PN uses base address
registers.  Certain rather unpleasant hacks were used to
deal with this.  (The base registers get loaded for calls
to compiled functions except for calls between functions
defined in the same file.)

I think my code still exists and works for UTX2.0, but
I have to check to see whether I can give out copies.
