[Openmcl-devel] Q: Clozure CL and built-in class vs. CLOS class, how to get a CLOS instance from CCL:MAKE-SOCKET?

[Rainer Joswig]

Hi Gary,

thanks! I haven't been able to find those parts (though I read the socket documentation).
I'll check that and see if I have questions remaining.

Many thanks,

Rainer Joswig
