Back when I used CLISP there was an easy way to create scripts that where callable from the Unix command line. It was nice because the contents of the shell script was just plain text Lisp code and could be edited and tweaked easily. Is there a way to do that in LispWorks? Regards, Chris Dean
Maybe cl-launch is what you're looking for? http://www.cliki.net/cl-launch Regards Friedrich
If you're on a unix platform, I think most standard shells will take the first line of a script as the interpreter. So, if you were on linux, and your lispworks binary was /usr/bin/lispworks, I think you could probably just put #!/usr/bin/lispworks ;;; lisp code here in a file and get the results you're looking for. You'd probably want to make sure that whatever binary you pick is a console environment, and maybe change the default behavior of the REPL, (to avoid unwanted printing or such). Would this be the sort of thing you're talking about?

That works great! Thanks.
Is there anything special about the deliver.lisp script that you use?
I'm just using:
(load-all-patches)
(load "lisp-shell")
(deliver 'shell-app-main "lisp-shell" 0)
(quit)
Thanks again,

There was a piece of extra wiring I was missing that Stonewall Ballard sent out. The tweak here is that the shebang program isn't just the plain LW app, you need to build a custom program to load the lisp program in the body of the file. Regards, Chris Dean
