True, but it is also true that on the AS side if a hash-table key may be interpreted as integer, it is considered an array index... So, for example: var array:Array = []; array["100"] = 1; Will be considered an array of the length of 101. And if you then do: for (var i:int; i < array.leng...

If the issue is Windows then you can always go with Lispworks personal edition. The IDE (read: a nice Emacs clone ) is very good and without the laziness-inducing Eclipse environment Laziness must be hard-won. I can use Eclipse now. The regular newbie no.

The problem I have with your post is that you (or the AMF 3.0 people) have to define what is the result of roundtripping the "array-type". From the spec, reading an array-type will tell you how big the "dense" part is, plus it will tell you whether the "array" is "...

Suggestion. NEVER use an IDE like Eclipse if you have not mastered the command line (or the "interpreter"); this suggestion is especially valid for Java and C++. Plus, CUSP locks you in with a single CL implementations.

Not really if you use CXML or CL-XML. With CXML you are advised to use KLACKS which is a SAX-like parser.

So the original question still remains: Is there any solution known how to read floating-point numbers in any print-format correctly? - edgar Yes. Even in Common Lisp, provided that you actually define the "floating point" syntax. Common Lisp defines one for you. I am sure that www.kli.or...

Guys... we (should) all have read Goldberg's paper, but that has little import to the OP question...

Thanks everybody. I hoped there would be some "easy" way to read in numeric data files. I am not able to use quicklisp behind a proxy and I dont know how to install all those libraries manually, so i'll give it up for now. Such simple tasks shouldnt be so non-obvious to do in Lisp, from a...

Welllll. I suppose that - being the 23rd - there is no problem giving a way a piece of the assignment Cheers
