		<title>Simple Automated File Type Detection Under Windows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is a report on my experience running Windows ports of the legacy *NIX file(1) command.
The first stage of processing my roll-your-own terabyte text corpus (after acquiring it from the internet, of course!) is to classify each document in the corpus according to its type.
I require classification of files from the text corpus into [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=brainrack.wordpress.com&blog=2581141&post=47&subd=brainrack&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Broken and Ill-Documented API for Windows Mount-Points</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
This note is written for programmers who must deal with mount points under Windows. It applies to Windows Vista Home Premium version 6.0.6000 with kernel32.dll version 6.0.6000.16386. It may apply to other versions of Microsoft&#8217;s operating systems, but I have no first-hand knowledge of such. If you are having trouble with GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName, or other functions [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=brainrack.wordpress.com&blog=2581141&post=40&subd=brainrack&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Stability and CLtL2 Conformance Review of Corman Lisp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Background
The cl-ansi-tests application (I am using the July 2005 version) is a set of over 20,000 individual tests of various aspects of a lisp&#8217;s conformance with the Common Lisp standard.  It was written by Paul Dietz over the span of many years.  Running cl-ansi-tests is a good way to discover things about a particular lisp implementation, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=brainrack.wordpress.com&blog=2581141&post=39&subd=brainrack&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

[Note: this document is a revised version of the original written by Chris Riesbeck.  It has been modified to reflect changes made to the lisp-unit package (including a name change to lisp-unit-tester) at the pleasure of Neil Haven.

		<title>Package Documentation for Corman Lisp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The :document-package package steps through all exported and local objects in a package, extracts their documentation strings and other information such as associated lambda-lists, types, etc., and displays it all in a legible format.  It is possible to produce package documentation as plain text or as formatted html.

I have more-or-less successfully got Corman Common Lisp running with XEmacs/SLIME.  I will describe how&#8230;
In order to get things running I&#8217;ve made a number of changes to Swank and Corman Lisp.  If the cookbook below doesn&#8217;t work for you I have probably forgotten to document one of the changes, so [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=brainrack.wordpress.com&blog=2581141&post=35&subd=brainrack&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
