Thanks for your words fella .. always nice to hear from a person suffering along with you. Lol I want to RTFM but there is no manual with most of these things. :lol: I will make it work, I know it was done before so it can be done again. Lisp was ment to be a gui, like symbolics made. If they manage...

Was sat there thinking over what you had said... Then it hit me - did I actually have the C libraries the wrapper was suposed to be binding to in the first place? :roll: Well you can imagine my homer simpson like DOH. haha I downloaded about 100megs worth of C/C++ libariries and it installed fine (s...

Ah as I suspected the P-list strikes back Cheers for that! will begin investigating.

I guess what I am looking for is function-get. But I don't think thats avaliable in clisp....

quick update, I have been expermenting with the graphics libraries in clisp and to be honest it strikes me as suffering from a lack of documentation and seems very fragile. But aside from the gui, vecto is a great little library - was able to write a poster generator and get another program that pre...

Thanks I will have a play with that today.

Thank you! thats great.
