Subject: Logical pathnames ...

Date: 1998-7-20 11:55

Hello ...

... I am working with Allegro CL, ver. 3.0 and my task is to port our
application from Unix and Mac lisps to PC Lisp - prefferably Allegro.
But ... here I encountered common problem with logical pathnames ... I
have tried the file you suply with the package (Logpath.lsp), but it
seems it is not working properly, because the same example with
(translate-logical-pathnames ...) ran well in other PC lisps, but
Allegro.

Can you give me some help according this issue ??? It would be much more
convenient to write our application using logical instead hard-defined
physical ... Maybe there is some new patch or ... ???

Regards ...

Martin

P.S. Here is a simple example I tried and its results:

(setf (logical-pathname-translations "TEST")   '(("EXP;**;*"
"C:\\temp\\**\\*")))

(lp:translate-logical-pathname "TEST:EXP;tmp1;tmp11;new.txt")

The result:   "#<WINDOWS-HOST \"LOCAL\">:new.txt"
