That day, I just forwarded the June version. >Also I added some patches sent by Fare in the cl-pdf version. They are not in what I sent you (bug was not known in June). Feel free to change the one delete -> (remove nil temps) It's clearly a bug. During holidays I revisited the two other changes. In remove-clause: (delete entry index) -> (setq index (delete entry index)) I decided *not* to leave that in the code (but add a comment) because (setq index ...) is a noop: index is local variable, and the function is just about to exit, so nobody cares about it's value. The code depends on non-guaranted behaviour of DELETE, basically that it implements the naive / canonical operation: RPLACD the previous CDR. Adding (setq index ...) would gain nothing in a Lisp which would provide another implementation of DELETE. E.g. (setf (fdefinition 'delete) #'remove) -- REMOVE is AFAIK a legal implementation of DELETE. Remove-clause would break. As I have not yet seen such other implementation, I've not bothered to write MY-DELETE to guarantee the behaviour needed by Iterate, or implement a different approach. If somebody yells that's not acceptable, please do so. I might change my opinion. Faré, since you reported that it's sbcl who pointed you to delete in Iterate, I'd like to know which version you used. I could not reproduce a warning with sbcl-0.9.2 (as found in Ubuntu/Breezy).

I'm sure I sent you the June 2005 version half a year ago. readme-pdf says: "This version is known to work well with cl-pdf and cl-typesetting". This can also be read as "don't trust the current or more recent versions" or "I haven't tested anything more recent so I can't tell nor make guarantees". I don't like the taste of that phrase, but I can fully understand that you provide a full package with all dependencies instead of having people fetch a half-dozen utility packages themselves. Hopefully, a Debian distribution will split things up and permit independent evolution of packages. I bet that my most current versions works equally well, if not better. I believe you just didn't get to update your copy of iterate in cl-pdf, because cl-pdf is essentially stable and you've been working on other things since then. >Interested people can get it from there until the official >site is OK again. I cannot recommend that until you update to what I sent you last June. I'll check whether the mailing list archives (or allows) attachments. Then I should send updates to the list, instead of to a few individual persons like I did back on 23rd of June 2005 (to Marco Baringer, you, Peter van Eynde, and CC: Kevin Rosenberg and Mark Williams). Of course, the best solution would be for me to get write access to common-lisp.net. I'll see how far I can get there. BTW, I'm slowly preparing an update to the June version - don't hold your breath! Interested people can get an interim version for compatibility testing from me (very little changes so far, I mostly increased testing coverage). Regards, Jörg

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Regards, Jorg Hohle.
