Hi,

I'm trying to save a lisp image in CMUCL.  The cmucl manual says this is
done with ext::save-list.

I need help on an argument to this functiON:


:init-function 
        This is the function that starts running when the created core
file is resumed. The default function simply invokes the top level
read-eval-print loop. If the
        function returns the lisp will exit. 


I want a start-up function followed by the top level read-eval-print
loop.  How can this be done?

Thanks,
Tunc

You can probably get better help asking on the ·········@cons.org or
··········@cons.org lists.

Anyway, the default top-level function is called %top-level.

Can't you get what you want by creating a .cmucl-init.lisp in your
home directory that does the start up stuff you want?

I suppose you could, but then you'd have to replicate code: e.g. for
MATLISP you need to
load libblas.a liblapack.a ... etc.  You've already defined a function
called LOAD-BLAS-&-LAPACK,
all I wan't is to save an image with the foreign wrappers so that when
the image loads it calls
LOAD-BLAS-&-LAPACK which inturn calls ld.
