cl-irc has switched to using usocket instead of trivial-sockets as its sockets portability layer. The switch to usocket was easy because there had been no releases depending on trivial-sockets yet and the differences in the code on the cl-irc side are small. For cl-irc this brings a whole new range of supported CL implementations. bye, Erik. PS: Do you experiment with or actually use usocket, please send a notification to this list!
