+This is the usocket Common Lisp sockets library: a library to bring +sockets access to the broadest of common lisp implementations as possible. + + +The library currently supports: + + - SBCL + - CMUCL + - ArmedBear + - clisp + - Allegro + - LispWorks + - OpenMCL + - <Your favorite Common Lisp here?> + +If your favorite common lisp misses in the list above, please contact +usocket-devel@common-lisp.net and submit a request. Please include +references to available sockets functions in your lisp implementation. + +The library has been ASDF (http://cliki.net/ASDF) enabled, meaning +that you can tar up a checkout and use that to ASDF-INSTALL:INSTALL +the package in your system package site.

KNOWN PROBLEMS - CMUCL error reporting wrt sockets raises only simple-errors meaning there's no way to tell different error conditions apart. All errors are mapped to unknown-error on CMUCL. + +- When running the test suite through the run-usocket-tests.sh shell + script, ArmedBear 0.0.9 will report failure - even when it didn't. + You need a CVS version later than 2006-02-11, or later than 0.0.9 + for the script to work correctly.
