Thanks forthe logical pathname tutorial.
Definitly FAQ material.
From your message:
Here is the replacement in MCL final which uses logical hosts:
(setf (logical-pathname-translations "mcl")
(list (list "mcl:**;*.*"
(full-pathname
"ccl:**;*.*")))
(setf (logical-pathname-translations "Utilities")
(list (list "Utilities:**;*.*"
(full-pathname
"mcl:utilities;**;*.*"))))
The first arg to logical-pathname-translations, according to
CLtL2 is a "host".
In your example, I can almost believe mcl is a host, but
no way can "Utilities" meet my notion of a "host".
If the way you describe it is in fact how it works, CL2
has sure made the concepts difficult by the misleading
terminology.
