The problem is Erik is too damn quotable. TMSAIASTI.

A bit of an offtopick:
Ken, where can I get your cello project from. Anywhere I go at
common-lisp.net it just gives me errors when I try to download it.

Thanks,
Andrew

Are you using this?:

:ext:ktilton(a)common-lisp.net:/project/cello/cvsroot

From the web I just got the tarball OK:

http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/cello/?root=cello

Then allow a full week to get it built and running. :) That will include
the Cells and Celtk projects (Celtk comes with Cells for now).

Note that ASD files are not maintained. Fix as necessary by inspecting
LPR files.

If you just want GUI, Celtk is easier to install. If you just want
OpenGL, there is a Celtk3D.lpr in there somewhere. Cello gets you also
support of FTGL, OpenAl, and GraphicsMagick.
