Hello list! I've realized that create-image-from-file will not try to expand logical pathnames. So, I wanted to suggest to change the line: (namestring file-name) to (namestring (translate-logical-pathname file-name)) but I also saw that for CMU there is some other function used to read the name, and so long I don't have it installed and never used it - I don't know whether the same will fit there too. This is line 115 in my version of sources (not modified). This shouldn't break older programs because if there are no translation rules, then the original pathname is returned from translate-logical-pathname, but theoretically, it could produce situations when previously some bizarre file name was taken literally instead of being interpreted. Well, that's it. Oh, and this would probably then apply to other functions that call on C functions to do I/O... If this makes sense, I could search for all such functions and export a clean patch for them. Should I? Best. Oleg
