Hi Mr Maguire.

Having had a good night's sleep, it is obvious why the compiler warnings are
being printed now - they are not being sent to the Windows equivalent of
/dev/null - I had to modify the Unix code by removing those redirections to
get the code to work on Windows after you removed the "winnt" symbol.

If you want to check for similar warnings on Unix you just have to remove
those  redirections in the compiler string in gcl_cmpmain.lsp.
