| See the example at:

| http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/SandBoxIOutput
| 
| The commands executed by MathAction to compile and load modified
| BOOT code for i-ouput.boot are equivalent to the following:
| 
|   )lisp (boottran::boottocl "src/interp/i-output2.boot")

What happens if you just say:

   )lisp (boottran::boot "src/interp/i-output2.boot")
