We are having tremendous trouble building even the simplest programs that
use sockets under Allegro CL for Win NT 3.0.2. When we try to build
ex\socket\apserver.lsp, it runs perfectly under the development
environment. But when we try to try to run the build runtime image, we
always get a mystifying
"Error: Argument NIL to FIND-CLASS does not name a class."
Well, of course it doesn't. My question is this: Why is FIND-CLASS being
called at all? And why does this error only occur when we try to use some
sort of socket functionality, but not occur when we use the same runtime
image but avoid using sockets i.e. redirect the socket stream to the
terminal?
Enquiries to ··········@franz.com have yielded no response after over a
week. Can anyone assist?

Are you remembering to load #P"fsl\\socket.fsl" into the runtime
environment? There are a lot of standard things loaded into the
development environment but not the runtime environment. See the
readme.txt file in the root allegro dir.

Yes, certainly are. We received a mail from Franz Inc. tech support today,
saying that when you load the "socket.fsl" file, you have to set
*add-socket-menu* to nil (it is t by default). Otherwise, in the runtime,
the socket module tries to add things to a menu that is in allegro.img but
does not exist in runtime.img, causing the above described behaviour. Does
anyone know where this was documented? We scoured the manuals, and
certainly found no mention of it...
