Hi Rudi, Some time ago, I promissed I'd look at implementing the three argument version of FIND-CLASS. I can't really test it, but I've finally managed to hack up my proposed solution. Find the patch included below and attached to the ticket. Also, I'm not sure the compiler sets up a global compilation environment. I think that if it doesn't, you want to bind a new environment somewhere in the COMPILE-FROM-STREAM to *compile-file-environment*. HTH, -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.
