L.S.

The Lyric byte-compiler on my 1186 seems to generate wrong code for:
(LAMBDA NIL (* ; "Edited 16-Nov-88 14:26 by Fons Botman")
	(CONSTANT (DIFFERENCE (TIMES 365 24 60 60)
			      (IDATE " 1-Jan-01 00:00:00 GMT"))))
The byte-compiler generates:
  34:        157  45   4 110  GCONST    -2115947648
  40:         20              RETURN
  41:          0              -X-
TCOMPL generates:
  34:        157  75 151 366  GCONST    2179019648
  40:         20              RETURN
  41:          0              -X-
Which seems more correct.
