[parenscript-devel] Problem using parenscript with ECL

[Vladimir Sedach]

Hi Magnus,

I did further testing and the problem with Parenscript on ECL is that
named-readtables does not work on ECL 12.7.1 (the latest release).
I've emailed the author of named-readtables and either he or I will
provide a fix.

Thank you,
Vladimir

PS - The problem I reported earlier with the segfault was related to
my running an older version of SLIME with the new ECL.
