Prototype Based Programming in Lisp?

[David McClain]

Yep, my bad… I just looked at the About box - I’m running LW 7.0/64. And thanks for the info on ASDF. My (ASDF-VERSION) shows 1.627. That’s what was delivered with LW 7.0. I’ll try to update ASDF now. 

The FIVEAM package halted on load with the error stating that it needs ASDF >= 3.1 to load properly. When I tried just using EOS, as indicated in the Sheeple docs, it needs a generic function on OPERATE that can dispatch on an argument. OPERATE in my old version of ASDF is a normal function.

Cheers,

- DM

Both EOS and FIVEAM need a more advanced form of ASDF than is built into LW64 Version 7.1. But the examples on the GitHub page seem to work just fine. Thanks for that! I’ll roll my sleeves up and dig in…
