The Lisp reader is fine for a simple NLP project of mine, except for this case conversion. You didn't specify which lisp you were using, but if you have Franz Allegro, you can use the function `excl:set-case-mode' to change the reader from being in the Common Lisp specified insensitive upper-case mode to a case-sensitive mode. An example of its use is (excl:set-case-mode :case-sensitive-lower) Charley -- --- Charles A.
