NOTES
================================================================

* The behavior of truckworld in non-Allegro CL 4.1 / Unix environments
  is not understood very well.  Specifically, the interprocess
  communication software is Allegro CL specific.  It isn't used
  while running the integrated simulator, but it may still cause
  problems at compile/load time.  If your system complains of a
  "FF package not found" or similar error, try creating a bogus
  package before loading truckworld, with the line:

    (make-package 'ff)


* Some X servers have been known to give an error when trying to allocate
  the tiny font used in the graphical displayer.  We suspect it is
  a resource allocation problem.
  Rebooting the X server sometimes fixes this.  You can also try
  redefining the tiny font to the small font.

  This is located in displayer/graphic/interface.lisp

  Change the line:
     (defun disp.tiny-font ()   (grafp.font *truckworld-display* :tiny))
  to
     (defun disp.tiny-font ()   (disp.small-font))
