It would be nice if project-pathnames provided a means to register all pathnames at boot time in the standalone executable and merging it with the new asdf-bundle features in asdf to create a fully packaged application out of the box... just my 2cJuanjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725670048074264680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966353302263378647.post-40981782551323023152013-01-09T02:26:30.607-08:002013-01-09T02:26:30.607-08:00Good question.

I am not an expert on logical pathnames, but I am under the impression that they do something similar, but much more complex and restrictive at the same time. I could be wrong, because I didn't devote a lot of time to logical pathnames, and I am still not clear on what the standard requires and what part of them is implementation-dependent (eg case). In any case, I wanted something with simple and well-defined semantics — I am under the impression that logical pathnames are a mystery to most CL programmers, and I am included in that camp. Can you point to a good tutorial? CLHS is really, realy obscure on this feature.<br /><br />Also, I should correct the examples, "data/" etc is not portable.Tamas K Papphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669947082318259107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966353302263378647.post-87729689924953482712013-01-08T15:33:17.294-08:002013-01-08T15:33:17.294-08:00Hi Tamas!
