Hi,

Is where any way to upgrade ASDF used in LispWorks Personal (6.1.1) to the more modern version, i.e. 3.1?

You should be able to just grab the latest version of ASDF from the web
site (at common-lisp.net), put it somewhere -- say
/home/alexey/src/asdf/ and then

(push "/home/alexey/src/asdf/" asdf:*central-registry*)
(asdf:load-system "asdf")

One of the things Faré worked on hardest was making it possible for ASDF
to upgrade itself.

LMK if that does not work for you.

best,
r

There's also the script in asdf/tools/install-asdf.lisp that might
help --- if you need to patch it, please send update upstream.

There is so much sand in Northern Africa that if it were spread out it
would completely cover the Sahara Desert.
