Ah, I see that this file is fixed in the subversion repository --- at least to the extent that it loads correctly.
You mean cl-irc still doesn't work for you? Yes, cl-irc works with SBCL: I have a 0.8.0 image running for some time now and haven't seen any problems. As far as documentation on the functions in allegro.lisp: for all methods and most functions, there's documentation in usocket.lisp. If that's insufficient, no problem, but I'll need directions on what's unclear so I can add it. Looking at the sources, usocket doesn't account for the case when a NIL socket is returned by Allegro. I guess usocket should return NIL when Allegro does (and cl-irc should take into account NIL is a valid return value signalling 'no socket'). Do you have any idea what could have gone wrong so that no socket was created? bye, Erik. PS: Thanks for the report. Could you CC the mailing list too? I read that more often than this mail-address. -- "Feel free" - 5 GB Mailbox, 50 FreeSMS/Monat ... Jetzt GMX ProMail testen: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/promail
