NEWLISPDIR questions

[pjot]

Hi,



If I set the variable NEWLISPDIR manually in a DOS prompt, newLisp does not seem to get the new value.

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:>cd newlisp



C:newlisp>newlisp

newLISP v.9.2.11 on Win32, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.

"C:\Program Files/newlisp"

C:newlisp>set NEWLISPDIR="C:\newlisp"



C:newlisp>set NEWLISPDIR

NEWLISPDIR="C:\newlisp"



C:newlisp>newlisp

newLISP v.9.2.11 on Win32, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.

"C:\Program Files/newlisp"

It seems newLisp always prints "C:Program Filesnewlisp". But in Windows I like to install newLisp in "C:newlisp".



Second question: will there be some description in the newLisp manual about this important environment variable...?

Overwrite protection for an existing NEWLISPDIR environment variable was not introduced until 9.2.12. The version you are trying is 9.2.11.



NEWLISPDIR is documented in the manual in development version 9.2.16, released yesterday.

Ooops sorry, I see there is some info about the newLisp dir in the 9.2.16 manual now :-)



Maybe it is also usefull to explain clearly what this variable can be used for (e.g. location of 'guiserver.lsp')....?



Thanks for replying,



Peter
