I have to read and write a disk structure which is a block of C (null terminated) strings, and a list of offsets into that block. The total size of the block of strings would typically only be a few kilobytes, so reading the entire block into memory in one go is feasible.
What's a good way getting this into Lisp? I've been successfully using alien to read more conventional structures and data types, but this representation has me puzzled. -- Cameron MacKinnon Toronto, Canada
