<div>Robert,</div><div><br></div><div>Just got a chance to look at the tests in LispWorks 6.0.1 on Win7. I couldn't use the 'run-tests.sh' script for obvious reasons. I tried to load 'run-shell-command-test.script' by hand but ran into an issue with loading 'script-support.lisp' because *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS* was not cwd. I wrapped the load command with a LET binding for the cwd and then ran into an issue with finding the temporary ASDF FASL.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I did a little perusing of the tests and noticed that 'test1.script', for example, is specific to Unix/Posix/Linux/etc systems. So, my impression is that the tests are fundamentally not usable on Windows at the moment. It appears that there is a fair amount of work required to update the tests so that they are not Unix/Posix/Linux/etc specific. I have some motivation to improve Windows support for ASDF because I have come to rely on it quite a bit, so I'll start working through the tests as time allows and see if I can get things rolling.</div>

</div></div>Done now. Pretty sure this will not work on Windows, but I have no idea<br>
how to fix it. For now, I believe that this test will simply not run on<br>
Windows, which is as good as I can manage w/o any windows machine....<br>
