      Lisp question:

      I create a simple structure:

	(defstruct (a-simple-structure (:conc-name nil))
	   a-simple-slot)

	(setf a-simple-instance (make-a-simple-structure))


      Now, according to CLTL (pg 476: 19.5 Defstruct Options),
      it seems to me that I should be able to reference 
      a-simple-slot with (a-simple-slot a-simple-instance).

      Instead, I seem to need (nila-simple-slot a-simple-instance).

      Is this a bug, or am I simply missing something?

      Thanks ... Rick

     Additional info for :conc-name problem:

     This seems to only not work when I'm also using CLOS.
     If I'm in the vanilla USER package, it works fine.

How are you defining your package?  If you specify :USE '(CLOS) then it
isn't inheriting from LISP or SYMBOLICS-COMMON-LISP.  The CLOS package
only exports the CLOS additions.  You have to specify :USE '(LISP CLOS)
or :USE '(SCL CLOS) in order to inherit all the standard Common Lisp
symbols as well.
