hi

(i use allegro commmon lisp on a solaris sun unix station)

i was wondering if there's a file (just like .emacs for emacs) which lisp
automatically loads. I could then configure such a file to my define my
"desired functions" etc..

Thanks

Im not totally sure about ACL for UNIX, but in the Windows version you
can put a compiled file into your "patches" directory and it will be
automatically loaded.  If there is a "patches" directory with your
Allegro, it likely behaves similarly.

But I am just a very very ordinary user with no root permissions to do
such a thing...!

Thanks anyway..

Why don't you _read_ the documentation that came with your Lisp???
Allegro will look for ~/.clinit.cl and CMU CL will look for
~/.cmucl-init.lisp.

And CLISP for ~/.clisprc.
