Hi,
I don't have a computer yet. We can't install applications on
computers in our labs. When I downloaded CLISP bundled for the book
practical common lisp, it was a zip file. I have unzipped it on my
external hard drive. When I run lispbox.bat Emacs runs fine. But then
it is trying to writes files on the c:\ drive of the computer, which
we don't have access to, emacs emits errors messages.
There is no documentation with what I've downloaded.
Thanks for your advice.
This is the emacs screen I'm getting...
(load "f:/2007/lisp/slime-20060110/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t)
(swank:start-server "c:/DOCUME~1/surf28/LOCALS~1/Temp/slime.
2768" :external-format :iso-latin-1-unix)

I am thinking you have a old version, becurse if you download LISP-IN-
BOX for windows today
you download a basesett and a lispversion both comes a .exe
I download CLISP but there is more to select from.
1 run base installera
2. Run lisp stuff
I have look att the installed stuff and can' find any ting saying use
c:\
may may beginner skill can't found it or there was in the old version.
se http://common-lisp.net/project/lispbox/
On this page you find liks for EMACS and SLIME

emacs use the HOME environment variable. By default, it's somewhere on C:\.
If you set the HOME environment variable to some other path (eg
somewhere on F:\) before launching emacs (lispbox.bat), it should be ok.
I don't know the exact syntax how to set environment variables in
MS-DOS. Perhaps there's an example inside lispbox.bat itself.
