[LispM] BSD style socket interface?

[Steven Nunez]

The original poster, me, is using PostModern with CCL (reluctantly).  I haven't tried on Genera because I know it will get stopped on the sockets code. I'm interested in hearing more about ideas for a BSD style sockets interface. I could not find anything higher level in the Genera documentation than a packet API. Perhaps creating sockets from that is only a few days work, but I've never had to get into the network plumbing in any language, so I cannot really say how difficult it is.

ASDF 3.1 (2?) does work on Genera; I use it often. Something having to do with 'truename' seems to have broken things in 3.3 and I have not had the time to track it down since the version that does work does not seem to cause any problems.

This sounds eerily familiar, like it was discussed and resolved on this mailing list sometime in the last 10 months.

Ah, yes...
What happened after the following?
Did it make ASDF stop working?
Or, how is the OP compiling Postmodern (enough to get stuck on usockets)?

But it is incompatible with what Genera does. In the latest version of ASDF, the code that is giving you problems has already been removed by a #-Genera conditional with a comment that describes what you are seeing.
