I think that by specifying the POSTGRESQL nickname on non-Lispworks platforms, only a few users might have to change their code to accomodate the renaming of CLSQL's POSTGRESQL package. Further, the only people it might inconvenience are Lispworks 5 users, but overall, the patch's function is to help only Lispworks 5 users. So, it's a reasonalbe tradeoff and I'll apply the second alternative. Thanks for the help! Kevin
