[Bese-devel] some problems getting FiveAM to load...

[Gary King]

I was trying to look at FiveAM yesterday and didn't have much luck.  
The stable version was a 404 and the development version wouldn't  
load on any of the four lisps I tried. Here are some of the details:

Allegro 7.0

(this is due to the with-run-state macro being undefined ... I could  
not find this macro in the sources).

This check out was done yesterday.

Advice? Help? Thanks!
