[elephant-devel] Interesting result

[Ian Eslick]

One interesting result from the recent serializer rewrites is that I  
was able to open a database in SBCL that was created in Allegro and  
read back in strings, symbols, numbers, regular and persistent classes.

I think that SBCL, Allegro, OpenMCL and Lispworks will have  
compatible databases for simple ASCII/Latin-1 character sets.  I also  
believe that Allegro, OpenMCL and SBCL will be able to share all  
unicode strings as well.  (I don't think that Lispworks returns  
proper unicode codes).

Does anyone have a solid handle on unicode lisps and the relationship  
between Unicode codes and char-code?
