A bit of an offtopick:
Ken, where can I get your cello project from. Anywhere I go at
common-lisp.net it just gives me errors when I try to download it.

Thanks,
Andrew

Are you using this?:

    ············@common-lisp.net:/project/cello/cvsroot

 From the web I just got the tarball OK:

    http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/cello/?root=cello

Then allow a full week to get it built and running. :) That will include 
the Cells and Celtk projects (Celtk comes with Cells for now).

Note that ASD files are not maintained. Fix as necessary by inspecting 
LPR files.

If you just want GUI, Celtk is easier to install. If you just want 
OpenGL, there is a Celtk3D.lpr in there somewhere. Cello gets you also 
support of FTGL, OpenAl, and GraphicsMagick.
