CMUCL is freeware, so you fix it. Franz Inc engineers may want to satisfy real customer needs. present your case in a bug report. perhaps I can fix it if I feel like it, but I don't generally feel like helping people who don't give me an impression of being satisfied if whatever they were complaining about does get fixed. so, what would it take for you stop calling it "inconsistency crap"? do you have a clear idea what every single piece of the pathname stuff should do? if not, if somebody fixes one thing and you stumble upon another problem, would you come back with another "inconsistency crap" complaint? what if your complaints are themselves inconsistent? #:Erik
