Thanks Peter!

You just forgot "html/" in the cl-pdf/cl-typesetting URLs. The correct ones
are:
http://www.fractalconcept.com/asp/html/cl-pdf.html
http://www.fractalconcept.com/asp/html/cl-typesetting.html

When I first announced cl-typesetting (2 years  ago), a lot of people
expressed interest in making higher level syntaxes for cl-typesetting. As
far as I know you are the only one to date to have done and published one.
