ignoring init.lsp

[nigelbrown]

Could there be a command line switch (eg -i) that suppressed reading the init.lsp file? That way I could

newlisp -i   special-init.lsp my-prog.lsp

to use a specific initialization file without having to fiddle with any init.lsp that happened to be around.

Or is there another way to get that effect?

[newdep]

an addon,



A nice addon would be also an userspecified init.lsp file,

actualy located in the users $HOME directory instead of the

/usr/share/newlisp directory.

clisp uses -i to specify an init file: from the man:

-i  init-file

    Specifies initialization files to be LOADed at startup.



Lutz, Is there a way to ignore init.lsp?

[Lutz]

Don't have one in /usr/share/newlisp or in the newlisp startup directory when on Win32.



I like Norman's idea to look for the init.lsp in $HOME on Unix or USERPROFILE on Win32.

one could achieve this by putting this in the system wide init.lsp



(load (append (getenv "HOME") "/.init.lsp"))



the dot at the beginning would hide the file on LINUX et al



or on Win32



(load (append (getenv "USERPROFILE") "/init.lsp"))
