o/~ Hey Mr Tambourine Man, play some -*- Text -*- for me o/~ A semi-sane sockets interface for SBCL. Usually also works in CMUCL, but is rarely actually tested there so may require some massaging. It is invoked through the SBCL contrib/ modules system: (require :asdf) (require :sb-bsd-sockets) It uses the regression tester from the CMU AI repository, in its incarnation as the SBCL contrib SB-RT. The tests themselves are in tests.lisp, and can be run using the Makefile target intended for the purpose, or by evaluating (sb-rt:do-tests). Note that one of the tests is an HTTP client that connects back to ww.telent.net; if this bothers your expectations of privacy, don't run it. There is an automatically generated API reference in api-reference.html which you can regenerate if you can figure out how doc.lisp works. You might find the examples in tests.lisp useful, too. Feedback, patches, development versions Instructions on how to access the CVS repository for db-sockets are at http://cvs.telent.net/ If you find bugs or want to send patches for enhancements, by email to Daniel Barlow , but please check the CVS version first. $Id$
