In an
earlier post, I outlined how to configure Emacs to use
SLIME with either
Allegro CL,
LispWorks, or
CLISP on Windows. However, my configuration instructions for LispWorks assumed
the commercial versions of the product, not the free Personal
version. As I mentioned in the posting: "the LispWorks Personal
version doesn't have support for init files. Therefore, it is
necessary to manually enter (load "c:/usr/home/.slime.lisp") into
LispWorks after it has started". This is inconvenient for people who
are trying out LispWorks and want to use Emacs and SLIME. To get around this
problem, I've created a basic
WSH script that feeds the necessary key
strokes to LispWorks to get it to load the ".slime.lisp" startup
file. This is a bit of a
kludge; however, I couldn't think of a more elegant way to get
around the limitations in the LispWorks Personal edition on Windows.
