The problem is that CL:DIRECTORY is specified to apply TRUENAME which is specified to resolve symbolic links. (See section 20.1.3 Truenames). There is no conforming way to obtain the pathname of a symbolic link in CL. You have to use an extension, either an implementation specific keyword argument to DIRECTORY, or an implementation specific function. On POSIX systems, I'd advise to use the POSIX API thru CFFI to deal with the POSIX file systems. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ A bad day in () is better than a good day in {}. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
