And I will repeat what I have said before: people who complain about the CL pathname system (or more generally about design decisions in any language) without coming up with a detailed proposed replacement design with at least one implementation are acting like fools. Especially as here where it's pretty clear that LW's truename implementation just ought to return, well, 'the canonical filename of the file in the filesystem' as the spec requires and it's really not doing that. --tim _______________________________________________ Lisp Hug - the mailing list for LispWorks users [email protected] http://www.lispworks.com/support/lisp-hug.html
