RE: cormanlisp patches for ilisp

Reini,

Still no luck. I reinstalled everything & downloaded your new patches and
copied them into the Corman install directories. I also reinstalled ilisp &
copied your modified cormanlisp.lisp into the ilisp directory. When I ran
makeilisp.bat, I got some warning errors but the batch file completed this
time. When I started ILISP in emacs, Corman starts up but ends immediately
with an error. I have listed below the makeilisp.bat messages followed by
the ILISP buffer contents in emacs. 

It would help if you could list all the steps you follow to get a working
emacs/ilisp with Corman(from installing Corman & ilisp through to a minimal
.emacs that works). Neither John Pallister nor I have been able to get
Corman working with ilisp based on the instructions in your readme.ccl file,
so a step-by-step set of instructions should help us get it set up
correctly. Once I have managed to successfully install Corman with ILISP, I
will add the instructions to the CL Cookbook page so this will help others
who want to use Corman with Emacs.

Thanks,
Bill

I found the error in 
  http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/autocad/lisp/cormanlisp/ccl-1.5-patches.zip

namely in the bootstrapping load-order. set-readtable-case is now
deferred.
you also have to use the new ilisp/cormanlisp.lisp since this defines 
now set-readtable-case.

please try it again.
