Lisp filepath issues when running application directly from jar file

[Ralph Ritoch]

Hello,

  Since you are loading resources and not from the filesystem you probably
want to utilize the load-system-file function which I believe is provided
by the :sys package. I'm not sure how portable this is so you may want to
add some additional control logic if you want portability.

(load-system-file "path/to/resource.lisp")

Best Regards,
  Ralph Ritoch
