I am sorry it takes me so long to answer, but I am currently overloaded 
with C++ development tasks. As for the readtable and symlinks problems I 
have identified them and am in the process of incorporating the fixes 
into CVS. Hopefully, before the end of the day I will be done.

The problem with the readtable is that the toplevel reader rebinds the 
variable *readtable* to the system one while reading the input from the 
user, but not while executing (See tpl-read in top.lsp). Also, I will 
now make sure that LOAD saves the value of *readtable* before loading a 
file.
