Re: [Maxima-discuss] proposal to automatically put path to file on file search lists

[Eduardo O. <edu...@gm...>]

I used this

  luatreedir : pathname_directory(load_pathname);
  load         (concat(luatreedir, "luatree.lisp"));

in my luatree.mac - here:

  http://angg.twu.net/luatree/luatree.mac.html
  http://angg.twu.net/luatree/luatree.mac

to load the file luatree.lisp, that is in the same directory of
luatree.mac...

Does that trick work for all versions of Maxima?

  Cheers,
    Eduardo Ochs
