Re: Problems compiling abcl-1.6.1

Mark:

Thank you! Especially for the quick turnaround. That works, but now
there is a warning about 'yield' becoming a restricted term in future
versions (presumably of Java).

The warning is for

src/org/armedbear/lisp/java/swing/REPLConsole.java

at line 144. It says to invoke a method called 'yield', qualify the yield
with a receiver or type name.

FYI: I sent my mail to the address specified in the README file.
