#13 Need info on how to load init files for CLISP
Using Xemacs 2.4.13 on WinXP, with ILISP 5.12 and CLISP
2.30. Can start CLISP in inferior process, but get
error that CLISP cannot find init files (e.g.
ilisp-pkg.lisp). Appears to be due to fact that file
name being passed to CLISP includes '\' as path
separator, instead of '/'. Have done some research in
ilisp-snd.el and ilisp-hi.el, but have not figured out
how to prevent file name problem.

Are you using the Win32 version of CLISP or are you running
a Unix-y version under cygwin? I think one difference is in
the way path separators are handled. -win32.zip, not tar.gz.
That's just a vague recollection, hope it works.

In answer to the question, I am using the win32 version of
CLISP. Further update: I think I have solved the problem (or
at least, found a fix). I modified file-name-hack in ilisp-hi.el
to check for system-type of 'windows-nt, and ilisp-dialect
of 'clisp-hs. If both conditions satisfied, I use replace-in-
string to change "\\" to "/".
This may not be the most elegant fix, but it works, and at
least the changes are localized to a function that already
kludges filenames.

Attaching a copy of a modified ilisp-hi.el with hack so that
init filenames can be handled by clisp.
Modified ilisp-hi.el with hack so that init filenames are passed to CLISP in a format it can handle.
