Hi there.

The Windows build doesn't use readline so I doubt it.
I don't know how to use GCL from inside emacs - I always run them
separately. If someone can tell me some easy steps to achieve that I'll try
and look into it.
I have considered changing GCL to never write CR characters but it is a
subtle problem depending on the circumstances and I haven't yet fully
understood what happens with line endings in the various Common Lisp format
and print functions. Nor do I know what the ramifications vis-a-vis the
ANSI specification might be.
In principle, it is probably statistically valid to change GCL so that it
reads the various kinds of line ending properly, but only ever outputs Unix
style LF line endings because on modern Windows systems Notepad is the only
text processing program I am aware of which does not understand them.
The approach I favour is to have a global variable and a setting function
which optionally turns CR output on and off.
Cheers
