[Cunningham, Jeff]

I am posting this question to the list at Marc's suggestion.
If anyone knows how to configure cl-pdf to run under SBCL I'd sure 
appreciate some advice.

Thanks.

It's a configuration problem to use binary/text or bivalent streams in
SBCL. I don't use SBCL, so I can't help you much here, but several
cl-pdf/cl-typesetting users use it. So you should post your question in
the cl-pdf mailing list.
