Also, you can simply specify an unsigned-byte element type when opening the file. There may be some residual stream overhead, but it cuts out the major cost of character interpretation/conversion. What prompted this question? I am currently working with some large image-files, and I wanted to do as...

Is there any possibility (portable or not) to have fast low-level access to files using some Common Lisp Implementation? Like mmap, mapping into a vector, or so? I have found http://blog.viridian-project.de/2009/07/24/sbcl-getting-started-with-mmap/ but I dont know whether this deref-call is efficie...

Hm. Looks interesting, but produces a dependency hell of deadlinks, non-working installers, etc. (well, at least I have lispworks here again).

A Google AD had a Link to something called "LISP Generator", http://www.beowolftech.com/lispgen/home.html - I dont know what to think about this. Looks like the approach is to generate programs only by Menus. Having all (or at least all essential) functions mentioned in a searchable Menu c...

Actually I am using LTK but was looking for an alternative. Not that I dont like LTK (its a nice and small and basically the best UI-Binding one gets for CL by now), I dont even mind that its not an FFI-Binding, but I dont want to have to depend on external files (as far as thats possible). I am cur...

Just one question: Is anyone still maintaining the Cliki? I always liked it, but seems like asdf has become less interesting (maybe because more people use clbuild instead), and maybe because of this it also became less interesting. Anyway, looking at http://www.cliki.net/Lisp-Tk I just wondered ...

i can compile cl-markdown with sbcl and get warnings that some functions named "binding-generator" and a number were not defined. but under clisp, I cannot even compile because of this: ;; Compiling file /home/clisp2/clbuild/source/cl-markdown/dev/html.lisp ... *** - FUNCALL: undefined fun...

Actually, I am pretty surprised that so many lispers like Apple Stuff (at least it seems like that to me).

The .fas-File is a file containing code that can be loaded quickly - though, it is no executable. To execute it, use clisp -i <fas-file>. To really get an executable, you must load your file and generate an executable memory dump: http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#image Using (defun read-setup (th...

Seems like some confusion with the different Font-Handlings under X11 and Terminals. In http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/elisp/html_node/Command_002dLine-Arguments.html I found the command "command-line-args" - maybe you could (as a workaround) use it to determine wether "nw" wa...
