Your arguments about why strtol is a poor candidate to interface with Lisp
are well reasoned. With the low level interface, of course, LW ACL and
CMUCL can support it well. (You want to update your documented 
that LW can support this function). However, I think you idea of a wrapper 
is a good direction one as well.

Thanks -- I'll put in on my server (I'm not using sourceforge anymore) and 
put a link to it on the UFFI links page. Please send any updates to me and 
I'll post them as well.
