Hi I keep getting bitten by this in different contexts. I am just curious why it has to be so small. It is just because of the limit on FIXNUMs? This is really becoming a serious bottleneck for our applications.

The spec says it's a fixnum and in LWW and LWL the MOST-POSITIVE-FIXNUM is only 8388607 > This is really becoming a serious bottleneck for our applications. This is a problem for me too in my applications, and also for cl-pdf and cl-typesetting. Maybe Xanalys could take this back from the Mac port and plan it for a future release of LWW and LWL ? Marc
