That sounds like an excellent code revival project. Feel free to set up a project page and champion it. You might also want to look at other code bases that have portability layers, such as the ACL-COMPAT in Portable Allegro Serve and the code in SLIME (SWANK actually). Just make sure you keep track of licensing issues--PORT is under LGPL or GPL if I recall correctly while ACL-COMPAT is probably LLGPL and the SWANK code, again IIRC, BSD. -Peter -- Peter Seibel * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gigamonkeys Consulting * http://www.gigamonkeys.com/ Practical Common Lisp * http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
