End of file problem

[ab talebi]

when I try to compile my program it gives me this error message:

End of file while reading stream #<FILE-STREAM
D:\Documenes\privat\tommy.lisp>.

any idea what the problem is?

Most likely you have unbalanced parentheses or double quotes.

This sort of problem is of course trivial to diagnose/fix for
emacs users: Place the cursor at the beginning of the file and keep
hitting M-C-f (forward-sexp) until you get an "unbalanced expression"
message.

There is also M-x check-parens, which checks the current buffer and
finds unbalanced parens, brackets, and quotes.

Missing parentheses.
