Well I just did (cd) in clisp which is supposed to print the current working directory and it says

#P"C:\graphic-forms\"

Which I believe is where the readme told me to run the clisp in. What I don't understand is what it is looking for when it gives me the error:

...

*** - component "binary-data" not found, required by #<SYSTEM

There is a file called binary-data.asd that defines the system "binary-data". It should be located in the subdirectory

src/external-libraries/practicals-1.0.3/Chapter08

which is relative to the graphic-forms top level directory. The variable *binary-data-dir* is defined in config.lisp with that relative path.

After you execute (gfsys::configure-asdf) can you tell me what asdf:*central-registry* evaluates to? Just type that fully-qualified symbol at the REPL, and you'll get back it's value.
