run-shell-command and pid-exit-status

I'm dealing with a program that uses the "external-program" library.

LWW complains that "system:run-shell-command" and 
"system:pid-exit-status" do not exist.

These two functions appear to be documented in 6.1, but trying to call 
either of them in the repl results in "operator undefined" errors.

Have these been moved to a different package / are they deprecated? Is 
there a work-around?

Thanks
pt

I have used said function with no difficulty. See the sian-<date>.lisp
file on my web-site (see my sig. below). Click on the 'source' link
near the bottom of the home page. The function 'x' uses the
run-shell-command from the 'sys' package.

Re: run-shell-command and pid-exit-status

system:run-shell-comamnd and system:pid-exit-status are only implemented on Unix/Linux/MacOS... call-system, call-system-showing-output or open-pipe may be useful options for those working on Windows.
