 I should have done this in the first message you are right.

 I got the file pcl+clx.sept92f.clisp.tar.Z from gatekeeper.dec.com. 
 Clisp seems to be installed correctly (I installed and ran maxima).
 I am not at my machine with clisp so I can't copy the message exactly
 but here is the code segments that are the problem. Grepping for
 any of these (ie: grep big-endian *) in the clisp source comes up empty.
