LOAD-OP definitely compiles the Lisp source and then loads the resulting fasl file. You use LOAD-SOURCE-OP when you only want to load the Lisp source code without compiling it. bob ========== On Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 4:46 PM, Pascal J. Bourguignon <pjb@informatimago.com> wrote:

It's confusing me because we already have an operator that functions as "compile and load", namely LOAD-OP.
load-op doesn't compile the files, only loads them. I use it routinely to load files without compiling them in clisp.
Of course, the difference is significative only with implementations that don't compile upon loading.
