Hi,

For the known issue #2, I'm glad to report that USOCKET has been prepared for the bytecode compiler recently (but not released yet). I've confirmed that Hunchentoot could load and run its test site correctly in ECL/Windows without a C compiler.

Now I'm going to release USOCKET 0.6.0 before Christmas, ECL users are very welcome to test USOCKET on trunk and report issues back.

Regards,

Chun Tian (binghe)
