Writing, whether code or documentation, helps clarify my ideas.

Help us help you help us to help you. :) I really really think you are running demo code developed under Cells I using the Cells II package. CV became C-IN or C-INPUT for the terseness-challenged. Any code in any doc I recall would be Cells I code, since I have not written any doc since Cells I. (a) Post the code (b) Tell us where you got it (c) Tell us if (cells::test-cells) runs to completion (d) Consider asking on the Cells list (tho I think we are close to nailing this) kt

a & b) The example code is from http://www.tilton-technology.com/01-Cell-basics.lisp and http://bc.tech.coop/blog/030911.html c) (cells::test-cells) appears to run properly and returns NIL d) Probably a good idea, I have stolen a bit of the thread here. I really does look like I am using example code that doesn't map to the library version :( It would be really nice if the basic cells tutorial lived in CVS somewhere & was part of the test suite. It would also be nice if you could get the cells library from CVS without needing to get other bits and pieces. Cheers Brad |
