Hello,

Is there a simple socket library for LispWorks 4.1.x or is it necessary
to do this in C and use the foreign function interface?

Thanks,
Mark

It's built in. From the LispWorks Reference Manual:

3 The COMM package
The COMM package provides the TCP/IP interface. TCP/IP sockets can be used
to communicate between processes and machines. The TCP/IP mechanism allows
LispWorks to connect to or implement a server. Before the interface can be
used the module "comm" must be loaded using

(require "comm")

This chapter provides reference entries for the functions in the COMM
package.

open-tcp-stream
start-up-server
socket-stream


Works well for me.
