Re: [slime-devel] Lispworks; Windows gotcha

Hmm... no. The startup is a bit different if you use M-x slime: there is no fixed port number; Emacs tells Lisp the name of a temporary file

Okay -- I didn't know the protocol.

I reorganized startup code a bit: we use now comm:start-up-server and the correct port number is written to the bootstrap file. The new version should work with M-x slime, but it's bit difficult to test this with personal edition.

I'll test it for you.

BTW, I've heard that Xanalys will/has/announced to/ release the source of their editor. Do you know any details?

Yes. I have it sitting on my disk right here. It came with V 4.3.
