Ask again with a different message, so users (and developers) who
weren't following this will see it. :-)  Try both users and developers
mailing lists.

Neat pictures, but I don't understand FEM.

You'll have to wait.  It was accidentally deleted from sourcforge, but
it is being revived.  But it is also being registered on savannah.org,
so I don't know where its real home will be.

It sounds pretty nice, but only works for CMUCL/SBCL/OpenMCL.  Tightly
integrated with the underlying Lisp.

If it's still not working for you, you can ask me questions (but not
preferably not here on this list).

Well, I do send reports and/or fixes to ilisp when something is
broken, but I don't use the latest snapshots so I don't know what's
happening there.
