What is the best option for HyperSpec lookups in ilisp? The new version of
HyperSpec no longer works with Naggum's utility. Is 4.0 still available
for download?

The current CVS version of ILISP has a fix for this.

If you want to keep your ILISP version you can replace the file
'hyperspec-naggum.el' with this one:
<http://weitz.de/files/hyperspec-naggum.el>. Make sure to set
'common-lisp-hyperspec-symbol-table' to the correct value for your
local installation of the CLHS.

HTH,
Edi.

Hi

I believe this happens also because of a change in the Xanalys web
site. They replaced KMP's version with a different one (sans Java)
which has a different structure.

I have not looked into it too much.

The ILISP crowd is always eager for help :)

Cheers

I just ran this and pasted the results to hyperspec.el

(with-open-file (out-stream path_to_temp_file :direction :output :if-exists
:supersede)
(with-open-file (in-stream path_to_Map_Sym.txt :direction :input)
(loop for symbol = (read-line in-stream nil :eof)
for file = (unless (eq symbol :eof)
(read-line in-stream nil :eof))
until (or (eq symbol :eof) (eq file :eof))
do (format out-stream "~&~W~%" (list (string-downcase symbol)
(file-namestring file))))))

FWIW, the short file names were in the version distributed with LW and we
changed the web site/download version to match.
