The Windows installer similarly doesn't give you a choice of where to put LispBox, it installs into a directory it creates in C:\Program Files. Later in the installation, the Franz Allegro CL Express Edition installer gives you a choice of both where to save the downloaded installer and the installer itself asks where you want it installed. I made only one non-default change, which was to have Allegro CL Express installed in C:\Dev\acl80-express instead of C:\Program Files\acl80-express.

Any attempt to use it to run Emacs failed, with Emacs crashing and bringing up a DrWatson (which in XP lets you report the crash to Microsoft, if you want). Initially, I thought this may have been due to an address stack layout randomization (ASLR) subsystem I have running, but after adding execptions as per my other Lisps and programs which don't like ASLR, Emacs still blows up every time. Maybe someone without ASLR can duplicate my install (with that one directory change) and see what happens. -- Dan Moniz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [http://pobox.com/~dnm/] _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
