Hi,

I have enjoyed using openmcl.  I first want to thank everyone that
helps make this software available.

Is there a way to extend the "control stack"?  My program failed when
I attempted to take the length of a medium-sized list (around 65,000)
elements because it exhausted the control stack.

  Type :? for other options.

The definition of LEN is:

  (defun len (x)
    (if (atom x)
        0
      (1+ (len (cdr x)))))

Is there a manual of any kind manual for "openmcl"?

Thanks,

Warren
