Well, if you use the standard (public) functions in the sb-bsd-sockets package, your solution should work portably from SBCL on ECL, because that uses the same API. The ABCL solution I can do myself as I have it installed (and researched it a bit last weekend): the conclusion is that - at least - it's possible. CLISP - from the review of the documentation - will not support this feature. Which leaves LispWorks and Scieneer. Scieneer is very much like CMUCL, so if the latter needs adapting, so does the former (most likely). LispWorks supports :local-address and :local-port keys - at least as of 5.0 which I have installed here. This means that we can have this feature everywhere but on CLISP... Which sounds enough to implement it [and contact the CLISP authors to implement it on CLISP too]. > Above five CLs, I have working patches for "bind-local" support, as in > attach. > > For other CL platforms, I'll try to install them first.

(By the way, I hope you don't mind if I take your patch as a guideline, not as the final one - especially the SBCL backend is changed more than I'd like: it could be a 4 line change.) Once more: thanks a lot! Bye, Erik. _______________________________________________ usocket-devel mailing list usocket-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/usocket-devel
