Hi,

I'm afraid I gave up on getting a version working with McCLIM, and I 
suspect nobody else has tried, though I hope anyone who has will chip in 
with experiences.  I see that you have already emailed the McCLIM list.  
It looks like there's a different interpretation of desired behaviour 
between Allegro CLIM and McCLIM (it isn't too surprising that happens in 
some places), so I guess you'd have to make this a place where the code 
is different for the two different CLIMs.  As far as I'm concerned, 
we're trying to keep the CLIM code running under Allegro, but not 
developing it further.  I'd note that a lot of the functionality of the 
original CLIM interface is available with the LUI, which is now the 
prefered interface for most people, though I'm not sure whether there's 
a substitute for the bits you're working on right now.

All best,
