This is why your floppies have the wrong eol. Patch: (ADVISE '(\PFLOPPY.SETFILEINFO IN \PFLOPPY.OPENFILE) 'BEFORE '(AND (EQ ATTRIBUTE 'EOL) (RETURN))). I assume the premature end of file occurs because the semi-colon reader never finds an eol (i.e., you must be breaking underneath cmlreadsemi). Bill
