[elephant-devel] Problem with Elephant on SBCL 0.8.17

[Robert L. Read]

Thanks.

I'm not intentionally using unicode; do you know how I can turn it off?

I will eventually want to use Unicode, and can't (well, don't want to) 
afford Franz.

Is this something I could work on inside Elephant, or would it be better to
let you get to it and work around it for now?
