Re: Re: RE:negative exponents and testing

Hi Nigel,

I have not modified the GCL tests to work with Corman Lisp. Rather, Corman Lisp 2.5 has the necessary changes to run the test framework as it comes from GCL. You can get them from the tests directory of the current GCL release, available from numerous sites.
