  Not so.  This is not hard.  I have a working solution that I
  implemented last night that obviates the need for a modern mode
  _image_ in Allegro CL.  It's now a variable with some support
  machinery around it.  John thinks so little of changing his code that
  I'm sure he won't object to the minor changes this will require in
  code that blithely assumes "Modern mode".  No changes are required to
  code that blithely assumes standard behavior, of course.
