You forgot that you have to create a flexi stream first - in-memory streams happen to be provided by the same library but they're something different. Use MAKE-FLEXI-STREAM to turn them into flexi streams. > And are string-backed in-memory streams even allowed? No. CL already has WITH-INPUT-FROM-STRING... :) > Thanks for your time and for developing flexi-streams. In return, I > hope to be able to buy you a beverage of your choice in Hamburg (-: Nice. Looking forward to seeing you there! Cheers, Edi.

Good... :) > LispWorks (4.3.7 on Linux) was complaining about > flexi-output-streams not being output-streams because the > superclasses are incorrect---here's a patch: Ouch! How could that work at all? Needless to say that LW 4.4.6 didn't complain because that's what I'm using all the time. Thanks, I've uploaded a corrected version. Cheers, Edi.
