    ;Hello CLIMer,
    ;I have some troubles with the drawing-circle function. It works well, if
    ;I want to draw full circles, not specifying start- and end-angle. If I
    ;give values to these keywords the debugger always tells me:

    ;Trap: The function CLIM-UTILS::NYI is undefined.
    ...

Looks suspiciously like an acronym for "Not Yet Implemented".
And indeed, on symbolics 8.1 (it appears you're running on a symbolics)

(apropos "nyi" 'clim)
->
 CLIM::NYI
[ie. the symbol is there but no function, etc.]

(who-calls 'clim::nyi)
->
#<CLOS:STANDARD-METHOD CLIM::DRAW-ELLIPSE-METHOD ...calls CLIM::NYI as a function.
#<CLOS:STANDARD-METHOD CLIM:DRAW-DESIGN ... "
#<CLOS:STANDARD-METHOD CLIM::DRAW-ELLIPSE-INTERNAL ... "

Hmm.  It appears that CLIM::NYI is (itself) "Not Yet Implemented"

While I loudly applaud CLIM, I haven't started using it significantly,
even less doing any major conversions, because of the NYI's --- even
just the ones documented as such.
