Hi! I'm very interested in working with RDNZL.

Good... :)

It looks great, but I've hit a snag; perhaps you could help?

I got the first "message box" example to execute OK (neat!). However when I tried running the second "apropos" example I got the following error

Warning: Returning NULL object from .NET call Error: Assembly "AproposGUI" not found

(I compiled aproposgui.DLL in the RDNZL examples directory)

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

I'm probably doing something stupid, but at this point I'm fairly clueless about all this, so am not sure what to do next.

Any ideas how I might proceed?

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.

(By the way, for some reason the Windows download arrives named rdnzl.tar.tar, which chokes WinZip. Manually changing it to rdnzl.tar.gz makes everything copacetic. I think I've seen this before with tar files--don't know if it's because of something I'm doing or not, but thought you might want to know...)

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:
