Yes exactly, I guess I am asking why you don't.
Here I made a log:

From http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3D1355
I take clisp-2.33.1-win32 from Dusseldorf saving it to desktop.

I Extract it to C:\

Now inside of C:\clisp-2.33.1 I click on install.bat
I answer 'Y' to all questions.

When I click on the minora shortcut on the desktop the system goes
into "seacrhing for lisp.exe" mode. I have to click "browse" and then
locate lisp.exe in c:\clisp-2.33.1\base

More to the point in the batch file clisp.bat in  C:\clisp-2.33.1
I see that

C:\clisp-2.33.1\lisp.exe -B "C:/clisp-2.33.1/" -M
"C:\clisp-2.33.1\/base/lispin\
it.mem" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

So my question is why not, on the distribution, update this file to

C:\clisp-2.33.1\base\lisp.exe -B "C:/clisp-2.33.1/" -M
"C:\clisp-2.33.1\/base/l\
ispinit.mem" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

Seems like it would run better.

Good point. I will when STEP is more mature. If they send me a copy of th=
e
database, I want to be able to turn around on it within a few days time t=
o show
them how quick the interface may be authored. In the meantime I test and =
develop
on the junk Mondial sample.

> thanks. what do you use to interface CLISP and ODBC?

A student of mine just finished this. He downloaded the code from  Andrea=
s
Thiele that relies mostly on the FFI package. When I get the time I am go=
ing to
go over his code in more detail to get a better understanding.
I suppose you want me to put in a link to Andreas' page too.

Thanks I see it now. Hopefully it will bring some more visitors. I am get=
ting
about 2 per day as it stands. I suppose this is a healthy amount given th=
e
scrapy condition of the system and database.=20
