functions like open
where no specific value is specified as the default is the value
of (locale-external-format *locale*) (see

General information on international character set support in Allegro CL is in iacl.htm.
This variable has been incorrectly documented for a while as providing the default for the external-format argument to relevant functions like open. This iss incorrect. The correct documentation is above.
