I'd bet you are familiar with this: the number of lines or the number of characters that piece of code is made of is not necessarily a reliable measure of its usefulness. In the case of OpenAxiom, I've already explained this. SBCL is the default Lisp system for OpenAxiom on GNU/Linux systems. I can't make it the default on Windows -- where we actually have lot of users, but most of whom non-Lisp technical users -- in most part because of this unhelpful message. -- Gaby |
