<ftp://clozure.com/testing/portableaserve/old/portableaserve-openmcl-native-threads-16-Oct-2003.tar.gz>

contains PortableAserve from SourceForge CVS, with changes for
#+openmcl-native-threads.  This is fairly near what got merged into
the SourceForge tree.

One of the changes in that .tar.gz file (that -didn't- get merged in to
the main sources) said #+openmcl when it needn't have, breaking things
on all other platforms.  (Hey, these things happen.  Whattayagonnado ?)

Please don't distribute this version (and please forget all about it
as soon as the main CVS branch is fixed.)

That version seems to compile (with one warning about an undefined
function that apparently can't really get called) and run fine, at
least when :chunking nil is in effect.

The person who did the more recent changes either subscribes to this
list or heard about the problems from someone who does; he said that
he'd try to integrate chunking support with the underlying
stream-buffering code in the lisp, which should make transferring some
types of data faster than it's been in previous pasever/openmcl
versions.
