Ivy uses resolvers for accessing the repositories. http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/settings/resolvers.ht ml I think you could access them. Alternatively you could set up a repo in your company and use ftp for accessing ... If this works an article or blog would be a benefit for other Lisp/Ivy/Ant users ;) Jan
