Subject: Re: error in lispworks' #'directory or in my head???

Is there | a portable way in lisp? Are fileness, directoryness, and linkness portable concepts? I would expect such things to be part of the operating system interface. Since Common Lisp is more portable than Python, and has a far longer history, the operating systems it has to be portable across are far more numerous. /// -- The past is not more important than the future, despite what your culture has taught you.
