[Ecls-list] truename: no file name supplied

[Marco Antoniotti]

You could always do

	(load (make-pathname :name ".common" :type "lisp" :defaults  
(parse-namestring "/home/pascal/")))

Unfortunately, PARSE-NAMESTRING cannot be relied upon to parse names  
starting with a dot under UNIX.

Cheers

Marco
