You can do everything without CLOS (or without structures) of course: you could just write Scheme (for whichever RnRS didn't have record types). But sometimes they're convenient, often very convenient: there are wheels which are not worth reinventing. And I am saying this as someone who finds some of CL's wheels so hideous to use that I have reinvented them. In this case since I am going to use CLOS (because structures have too many precanned accessors), the question is (a) do I actually lose anything by using less MOP (as I said, I need some) and I suppose (b) would it be considered a smell to use less? _______________________________________________ Lisp Hug - the mailing list for LispWorks users [email protected] http://www.lispworks.com/support/lisp-hug.html
