I'm not sure I understand how it is being done now, because it's done through LISP-INVOCATION, a library I don't claim to understand. When we are running LISP-INVOCATION as part of the tests, yes, I believe it's easy for us to use the environment variables to decide what (recursive) flavor of Allegro to run. But for more general use of LISP-INVOCATION, I don't know how one detects the "parent" version of Allegro. OTOH, I suppose that (a) we can simply require the user to specify the lisp s/he wants, which does not have to be the same as the parent dialect and (b) this isn't an ASDF problem. So I think I can shut up about this. cheers, r > > > > > On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 10:27 AM, Robert Goldman <rpgold...@sift.net > <mailto:rpgold...@sift.net>> wrote: > > How is this to be managed?
