Questions

Hello,

I am in the course of porting my application Femlisp to Windows using
Allegro 8.0 and have run into the following problems:

1. The command
  alisp -e "(print \"Hello\")"
works under Linux/Bash but not with Windows/Cygwin/Bash (Error: Attempt to
take the value of the unbound variable `|"HELLO"|').  Is this because of
differences between Linux and Cygwin or because of differences of Allegro
on these platforms?  Is there a remedy?  I need this especially in the form

alisp -e "(load \"file\")"

2. I am using run-shell-command to start up Gnuplot and OpenDX.
   Unfortunately, those commands take parameters (especially, I need to
   call dx as "dx -script" which is not supported under Windows.  I did not
   really understand the reason of this restriction.  And: can anyone
   propose a remedy?

Thank you very much,

Nicolas.
