Subject: Personalizing Franz Lisp Groups: net.lang.lisp <If this line were blank, it wouldn't be here...> I'm hoping someone out there in net.land can help me. Being an old INTERLISP hacker I remember a feature that it had wherby it would automatically load and execute some file ( or number of files) when you first fired up the system. My question is, does Franz have a similar feature, so that I may automatically load my top-level and have it start executing as soon as I start lisp? Tanx in advance...

Just create a ".lisprc" in your home directory. Alan S. Driscoll AT&T Bell Laboratories

As is to be expected, the Franz Lisp initialization file is called ".lisprc" and resides in your home directory. When you fire up the interpreter, it reads the s-expressions contained in the .lisprc as if you were loading the file. Marc A.
