IT IS ACTUALLY QUITE INTERESTING TO TRY THIS. IN EMACS, C-X C-U WILL VERY HAPPILY GIVE YOUR ENTIRE WORK A QUAINT ARCHAIC FEELING. YOU CAN VIRTUALLY HEAR THE PRINTER CHURN OUT ILLUMINATED PARCHMENT. I WISH THERE WERE SOME WAY TO MAKE "ALIASES" FOR SYMBOLS IN COMMON LISP SO THAT WE COULD HAVE BOTH UPPER- AND LOWER-CASE SYMBOL NAMES, BUT NO SUCH LUCK. -- ERIK NAGGUM, OSLO, NORWAY ACT FROM REASON, AND FAILURE MAKES YOU RETHINK AND STUDY HARDER. ACT FROM FAITH, AND FAILURE MAKES YOU BLAME SOMEONE AND PUSH HARDER.
