Edi Weitz gave pretty much the same answer I would. The simplest
thing is to put "AproposGUI.dll" into either the Allegro CL directory
or into a system directory.
For Edi:
I notice that specifying a full pathname for AproposGui.dll to the
import-types function still causes an error. This seems to be
happening because System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadWithPartialName won't
take full pathnames (?). If that's the case, maybe import-types could
be beefed up to check if the argument is a full pathname and instead
invoke Load or LoadFrom. ??

You compiled it? It should have been distributed with the tarball
already.

You have to put the AproposGui.dll file somewhere where the .NET
runtime looks for it when loading assemblies. So either put it in a
system directory or in the directory where your Lisp executable starts
from. That should do the trick. Let me know if it doesn't work.

No idea. I guess it's your browser changing the file's suffix without
asking you.
By the way, there's a mailing list for RDNZL questions:
