How do I use Quicklisp with Practical Common Lisp?

angrypeacock138

I'm trying to follow along with the book "Practical Common Lisp" and it says to load the code in the appendix into quicklisp. I can't seem to figure out how to do that. Can someone help me?

Assuming you have Quicklisp installed, you can follow these steps to load code from Practical Common Lisp:

Open your Lisp implementation and load Quicklisp.
In the Lisp environment, type (ql:quickload "Practical Common Lisp")
Press Enter.

This should load the code from the book into your Lisp environment so you can run it.

I'm assuming you are using Quicklisp to load code from the book Practical Common Lisp. To load code from the book, you need to use the "load" function. For example, to load the code from Chapter 1, you would use the following:

(load "book/chap1")

You can also use the "load-file" function, which will load a file from the filesystem. For example, to load the file "book/chap1.lisp", you would use the following:

(load-file "book/chap1.lisp")
