BSD 4.3tahoe

	This is the distribution of Franz Lisp Opus 38.92 for the CCI "tahoe"
machine.  It should be configurable as a VAX or 68000 version, but this
has not yet been tested.
	Before the system can be compiled, a change is necessary to /lib/c2,
the C-compiler's optimizer phase. Without this change, the optimizer dumps
core when run through a pipe:

	Another special condsideration is the WCS version in use. If bignum
math with negative numbers (try "(quotient 9999999999999999999 -9)") gives
incorrect results, then you are using an outdated WCS and should attempt to
obtain a newer version from CCI.

	Please send any other porting bugs to:
