Hi: Probably a dumb question. I have a library of code that I use somewhat frequently in LispWorks. How can I modify my lispworks environment to make this code loadable-on-demand? For example, CL-USER 10 > (require "foreign-parser") ; Loading /Applications/LispWorks 5.0/Library/lib/5-0-0-0/load-on- demand/ffi-tools/parser/defsys.lisp on demand... I would like to do the same sort of thing with my own module. Thanks!, -Chris

Some implementations provide "hooks" for REQUIRE so that you can add your own modules, but LispWorks doesn't AFAIK. However, REQUIRE accepts a second argument. See the examples in the CLHS which show code for a "portable" usage of REQUIRE. http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_provid.htm An alternative would be to always load a couple of Common Defsystem system definitions with your initialization file and to then use LW:LOAD-SYSTEM instead of REQUIRE. http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw51/LWUG/html/lwuser-241.htm Another alternative is ASDF which comes with facilities for system lookup. My "starter pack" shows how you can set up ASDF in LispWorks in such a way that you can load arbitrary ASDF systems with keyboard shortcuts (mimicking SLIME). http://weitz.de/starter-pack/ http://weitz.de/lw-add-ons/ And, finally, if you use your library very often and if itself is pretty stable, it might make sense to save an image containing that library. http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw51/LWUG/html/lwuser-172.htm Edi.
