Sorry to post an implementation-specific question, but the University sysadmins were not able to provide me with a phone # or email address for DEC LISP S/W suport. According to the documentation, the following should let me use shell commands from wi/ LISP: (define-external-routine (system :entry-point "_system") "Optional documentation" (command :lisp-type string :vax-type :asciz) ) However, when I do (call-out system "date") I get an error message saying that call-out entry point _system could not be located in /tmp/vaxlispfoo123.o. There is also a message saying something about an illegal magic number in the file ~/lisp. Any suggestions? A phone number or email address for vaxlisp S/W support would be welcome also. This is probably not of general interest to the net, so please email. Thanks. - Marty Hall
