- The second patch to Macintosh Common Lisp 2.0 is now available. There
- are two ways to get it via the Internet: by sending mail to our archive
- server, or by anonymous FTP. It is also available on AppleLink, on the
- "Macintosh Common Lisp Discussion" board. Instructions for decoding the
- patch (it's in BinHex format) and installing it are in the documentation file
- accompanying the patch.
-
- This is version 1.0 of patch 2 (you can check the version number in
- the patch file's "Get Info" box). It is identical to the pre-release
- (version 0.6) I announced on December 31, 1992. If you have been testing
- that pre-release, you do not need to download this one (and thanks
- for your help!).
-
- This patch fixes a number of mostly minor bugs. Here are descriptions of a
- few of them, from the documentation file:
-
- ; Fixed some problems printing on Imagewriter printers.
-
- ; LABELS wasn't consistent about "parallel" binding order in some cases.
-
- ; EQUALP hash tables no longer error when CLOS instances are
- ; used as keys.
-
- ; Fixed a kernel bug that pushed the wrong stuff on the stack
- ; when a function had required, optional, rest, & keyword args
- ; and a value was not specified for all of the optionals.
-
- ; (fround 3) no longer signals an error.
-
- You must install patch 1 before installing patch 2; you can download patch 1
- from the same place as patch 2 (the files are "mcl2.0p1.fasl.hqx" and
- "mcl2.0p1-notes.txt").

- Compuserve or AppleLink) that has a gateway to the Internet. If you
- have not already done so, you should get the Help file on this
- service by sending this message (this should be the body of the
- message, not the Subject line):
