Yeah. To the extent anyone else kicks the tires with Allegro 7.0
that'd be great--I'm pretty sure the 7.0 final will be the version
I'll be shipping with the book so bug reports now to Franz or here
will help me out a lot as I don't have much time to program at the
moment and thus don't even know how well the SLIME/Allegro
implementation works. Though that should change in a couple weeks once
I start working on example chapters at which point I'll probably start
noticing any gaps in the Allegro implementation.

And if anyone is using Allegro with SLIME, you might consider dropping
a note to support at franz.com to let them know that you'll be a happier
customer if they do what they can to make it work really well. They
tend to be very oriented to keeping their customers happy so if you
are actually using Allegro other than to test out SLIME they'll
probably be interested to hear about it.
