I had no idea that anyone was still using Corman Lisp. With the author not replying to any of my emails for years, and the most active users long gone, I have classified the platform as "dead until further notice". I understand you too are trying to port your software to it, but that might be wasted time.
Noted.
FWIW, I have made some progress: Corman Lisp's (user-homedir-pathname) happens to return a pathname with a file component, ie: - the directory part is \Users\ - the file part is Didier
As a consequence, calling PATHNAME-DIRECTORY on it returns C:\Users\ and the source registry becomes C:\Users.config\common-lisp\source-registry.conf (the actual user homedir is missing).
This is easily fixed with a Siebel-like PATHNAME-AS-DIRECTORY function. However, I ran into a bunch of other problems after that (such as the lack of a TRANSLATE-LOGICAL-PATHNAME function).
So given what you're saying above, I think I'll just give up.

Well, I can always modify the envelope of my emails :-)
