Known Limitations

Building from Source

This this can be built using SBCL.

  1. git clone git://git.code.sourceforge.net/p/step-toybox/step-toybox
  2. cd step-toybox/apps/
  3. git clone git://git.code.sourceforge.net/p/step-toybox/stepref
  4. cd stepref
  5. sbcl --load deliver

You should now find a stepref file in the current directory.
