Ok, so I downloaded the latest 6.0.1 Lispworks for windows, and I do not see anywhere in
the gui even a mention of ASDF - there is no "button"…  On their web site, they state that
they have ASDF integration in IDE - I don't see it.  The link in their web pages takes me here:

To use ASDF in the LispWorks IDE:

  1. Load ASDF and some ASDF system definitions in the usual ASDF way.
  2. Load the file (example-file "misc/asdf-integration.lisp") .


From the above: Load ASDF and some ASDF system definitions in the usual ASDF way. (WTF, I
don't know what the "usual way" is…?)  What is the usual way????

Ok, so I ran the second line called (example-file ……  And I assume that does something also,
although they don't say what….  Why is it called example-file???  What is example-file?  What
kind of a function is that?

Ok, so, I also downloaded cl-ppcre-2.0.3 (I can't use quicklisp network type installations
because I am at a bank, and they have serious firewalls preventing stuff just like this).  So,
I downloaded this package, and I unzipped it, and I did notice that there is amongst other
files a cl-ppcre.asd file (probably important).  So, this is what I have:

LispWorks 6.0.1 which is supposed to be already ASDF ready on Windows

Unzipped cl-ppcre-2.0.3

So, assuming that the whole thing is ASDF ready, how do I load up and "install"
cl-ppcre-2.0.3

Why is this so friggin' frustrating - I just wanna code in Lisp, not fight Lispworks and
ASDF…

Thanks, Alex.
