I am running Allegro CL 1.2.1 on a MacII with 5 Meg RAM
and a Rodime 140, sometimes with and sometimes without
multifinder.  I have had the following problems and am
wondering if you Lisp hackers out there have any advice
to offer.

  1. Sometime when I am backtracing the system hangs
     and I have to reboot (not fun)
  2. I need to save a new image with PCL compiled to
     make life easier.  I also need to save an image for
     environment restoring later on.  I cannot find any
     system-dependent commands for saving the environment
     in my manual (admittedly a 1.1 version).  Does anyone
     know how to do this.
  3. I need to track memory usage during execution and
     wonder if anyone knows if the (room t) function will
     work.
  4. Is there a programmers/developers manual aside from
     the users manual that might help to resolve issues of
     implementation?

For now these are the only problems that I have encountered.
Minor ones, really, and the product seems like a very good one,
but I'd be happier with answers to the above questions.  Does
anyone know if Coral has a version of CLOS out yet?  Also, does
anyone have their new phone number out here?
