Hi

I can parse and use the *args* when I run a clisp program as script.
Once you create an executable (with ext:saveinitmem) and try to give it
an argument "arg" it says "*** - LOAD: A file with name arg does not
exist".
How can I overcome this?

Thanks,
Andrew

If you don't like it, create a launch script:

mv executable-image executable-image.bin
cat > executable-image <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
exec "$0".bin -- ··@"
EOf
chmod 755 executable-image


If you don't like it, patch the sources of clisp...

Great news! Can I download the binaries for windows from somewhere?
On sf there is still an old version I believe.

Thanks,
