RE: Re: trouble applying the 2.01 patches

The 2.01 patches need to be applied to a 2.01 version. They are not
supported in the original 2.0 download. This is because many changes
were made in 2.01 which were never released as patches (if, for example,
they required extensive modifications or kernel changes). The new files
may depend on these other changes.

I hope to come up with a slicker way to handle patches in the near
future. For now, you just copy the files into your install directory
(replacing any older versions) and rebuild using the command line
mentioned in the manual:

clconsole -execute sys/compile-sys.lisp

If you try to load the patch files on top of an image, it may not work.
With clos.lisp it will definitely not work, because that file
essentially boots clos when it loads. It can't be reloaded on top of
itself. In general, a number of the files in sys/ need to be loaded in
the correct order. In the recent case, clos.lisp and structures.lisp
(sorry I got the name wrong in the readme, I just corrected it) they had
interdependencies and needed to be loaded together.

I have just added another patch file, arrays.lisp, which improves
creationg performance (by a huge amount, in some cases) of initialized
arrays. This also improves performance of reading of large literal
strings. JP and Edi helped me track this down.

I was afraid of that. I will just have to start with the 2_01 and apply
the last two patches. I originally started with 2.0 and loaded the
patches I though I needed to be loaded before the 2_01. I must have
thought wrong. 

Thanks for your patience, I will have to load the 2_01 first.
