Does the .lib also include the user-supplied (EVAL-WHEN (:COMPILE-TOPLEVEL) ...) side-effects? If so, that's great -- it's like the CFASLs of SBCL (except it probably pre-dates them). —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Die Mathematiker sind eine Art Franzosen: redet man zu ihnen, so übersetzen sie es in ihre Sprache, und dann ist es alsobald ganz etwas anderes.
