;FOO UNBOUND VARIABLE
The restriction alist in the (SETQ INIFORM ...) part of the DEFVST macro
has a pair (SYMBOL . FOO) which should be (SYMBOL . 'FOO). I wrote out
a new source version MC:NILCOM;DEFVST 144 but didn't compile it since I
don't understand all the circular interfile compilation dependencies.
The compilation dependencies are hierarchical rather than circular, and are
as follows:
DEFVST 3
||
\/
DEFVSX 2
||
\/
DEFVSY 1
||
\/
EXTSTR 0
That is, in order to compile a level-n file, all the files below it have
to be usable in the COMPLR, but none at the same or higher level is required.
Some other features are used too, like EXTEND, EXTMAC, EXTHUK, DEFSETF, and
UMLMAC, but they are independent of DEFVSxxx.
I've also edited the DEFVSxxx files to use a 1-arg version of GLOBALIZE,
and to use the SHARPC form of code conditionalization (should make
cross-compilation a little more comprehensible).
Dave: You should just FTP over to CMUA new versions of DEFVST.FAS,
DEFVSX.FAS, and DEFVSY.FAS (the latter two not being strictly
necessary to update, but why not).
