I got a message that something couldn be converted from a bignum. How do I convert something from a bignum?
Some conversions are not yet implemented (such as converting a REALLY big bignum to floating point). We are working on this. This is a purely internal issue, so there is no workaround. Q: My program gets into an infinite loop; to break out I have to reboot. My free hard disk space keeps shrinking mysteriously! A: Run chkdsk /f when you reboot. When LISP crashes, if it is swapping to a file, that file is left in an inconsistent state; although it is still using up disk space, it does not belong to the file system and cannot be referenced or deleted by normal DOS commands. chkdsk /f will turn the remnants of the dead swap file into a file with a .chk extension in the root directory. You can then safely delete the .chk file, which will reclaim the disk space for further use. Note that if you encounter any files prefixed with ~cl and with a .tmp extension you can delete them as well; these are the names of the temporary swap files and if you have crashed while running LISP, you can end up
