I wanted to point out that the code for SYS:MAKE-FD-STREAM in "code/fd-stream.lisp" in the `unicode-utf16-branch' branch (CVS 2008-07-11) does not support an :EXTERNAL-FORMAT keyword argument. Perhaps there is a mismatch between your build and the CVS sources?

To be useful, you might want to do (setf | *default-external-format* :utf-8) or something. You need to set up | slime too to be able to see something useful. -- Madhu
