femlisp raises an interesting issue: it has (setq *READ-DEFAULT-FLOAT-FORMAT* 'double-float) in setup.lisp
Gendl also sets *read-default-float-format* to 'double-float, and expects it to be set that way for compiling any Gendl/GDL application code (all the internal operations for points, vectors, transforms, etc are expected to deal in double-floats). That is the only non-ANSI-compliant thing in Gendl, as far as I know. If there is a reasonable way to back out of this to make Gendl 100% ANSI compliant, I'd be interested to look into it. But the current situation is that users expect double-float to be the default when working with Gendl. -- My Best, Dave Cooper, Genworks Support david.cooper@genworks.com, dave.genworks.com(skype) USA: 248-327-3253(o), 1-248-330-2979(mobile) UK: 0191 645 1699
