Compatibility =============
This release was tested and found to work on the following implementations:
* SBCL * OpenMCL * CLISP * Allegro Common Lisp 8.0 in ANSI Mode
In our tests, this release of McCLIM did not work on the following implementations:
* CMUCL (at the time of this release, the released CMUCL has a bug that prevents successful loading of McCLIM; CMUCL 19d + patch 1 and the 2006-12 snapshot or later contain a fix for this problem)
Also, McCLIM currently does not support lisps with case-sensitive readers (ACL "modern mode" and lower-case SCL).
