My stars, it's full of pointers! $5400 of 'em. And not _quite_ regular

Are you saying the disk image bombs?  Or that did you try the ShrinkIt
archive?  I just booted the actual 5.25" floppy the images were made
from and (LOAD BASE) works just fine.


Sorry for my confusing post. I was responding to your note, "I tried running Lisp under ProDOS and it bombs." For me it runs to the colon prompt. At that point, it doesn't crash, but any command produces an error. It actually crashes into the monitor later, after trying to load base.

Sounds like DOS-based program that fails when attempting I/O under
ProDOS...  Correct behavior, I'd say.  ;-)
