[Openmcl-devel] logical pathnames not working with alias

[Alexander Repenning]

Say if I make an alias of a folder called "sources" and put that into   
the Clozure CL application folder and try to access a file via logical  
pathname notation

(truename "ccl:sources;sample-file.lisp")

I am getting Error: File "ccl:sources; sample-file.lisp" does not exist

whereas the same works if sources is a regular, i.e., not an alias,  
folder

This does not work either with the alias when using unix path notation:

(truename "/Applications/Clozure CL 1.2/sources/sample-file.lisp")

but again does work if sources is a real folder.

Does this mean that aliased folders cannot be used for some reason or  
is there some flag that needs to be set?
