There's a variable, version-control, which tells it what to do. t means always, nil means only if they already exist and never means, well. I suspect that all this gets fucked with by things like being in a git repo, when it can turn off backups or do some fanciness. I don't know how that works. > > (Asking is better than searching; or asking Claude) > Sawing your own leg off is better than asking Claude, and 'AI' bullshit has poisoned search to the point that it's effectively useless. Soon, mailing lists and a revived usenet will be the only way of finding things out. Not so sure about usenet, actually: that was kind of a mistake. Half serious about this. --tim _______________________________________________ Lisp Hug - the mailing list for LispWorks users [email protected] http://www.lispworks.com/support/lisp-hug.html
