It doesn't. You can load code into delivered applications, if you deliver at a suitably low level. A long time ago (more than 20 years) I did just this. There was a directory into which you could copy files, and the running daemon checked this periodically and if it found anything it: arranged for all the threads to be waiting in some known state, loaded the patch and nuked the file, before letting things go again. I am fairly sure you can (or could)do the lovely 'open file, delete it, and then load the open stream' trick on Unix, anyway BTW. I spoke to LW at that time about what the legal restrictions were of doing this and the answer, then, was that it was fine so long as you didn't essentially recreate a development environment. But you should probably check again as this is a long time ago. I can't revive this code now as I have the hobbyist version now (and also no requirement for it). --tim _______________________________________________ Lisp Hug - the mailing list for LispWorks users [email protected] http://www.lispworks.com/support/lisp-hug.html
