[slime-devel] inferior-lisp-program cannot contain spaces

Looking at CVS HEAD's slime-inferior-lisp functions it seems that it's impossible to use paths containing spaces, since they will be split-string'd in several parts. Trying to run on Win32, where most programs have space-containing paths ("c:/program files/....") confirms the problem. Are there any fixes/workarounds? Thanks

A workaround is to use the short (MS-DOS) names of everything that contains spaces. You can find them by using dir /x in a Command Prompt or from the Properites dialogs on the Explorer. __Martin

(load "c:/Program\ Files/emacs/site-lisp/slime/swank-loader.lisp") -- [ingvar] Modelling forest damage by storms with regular expressions is... a curious idea. [Xach] before: ||| after: //_ [Xach] seems easy enough to me
