Re: [Maxima-discuss] "Save" location

[Gunter K. <gu...@pe...>]

Wow... ...what is the output of

    build_info();

The Lisp standards were designed with a reality in mind in which the
lisp is the operating system. Which means that the concept of an
external operating system having a "current working directory" would be
a custom extension to a lisp.

The newest wxMaxima release should be able to switch the current working
directory on all supported lisps, though. In the last few releases you
would have been able to turn this feature on and off from wxMaxima's
configuration dialogue as the lisp sbcl runs into problems if your
system mixes unicode chars and chars from the local codepage in
directory names resulting in error messages that annoyed users that
never wrote files.

Kind regards,

     Gunter.
