<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">I checked McClim and Flexichain out of CVS, used ASDF to load them, and then tried to run the address-book demo but it did not work for me. I've tried searching the web for a FAQ about this but haven't been able to find anything. I did start looking through the mailing list archives but without a search option I have only found a suggestion to make sure that DISPLAY is set.<DIV><BR
