- We are developing some software using MCL 2.0. Recently I was able to do a
- save-application on a PowerBook 180 using the following
-
- (save-application "pathname" :size 8192)
-
- It took about 2.5 mins to complete its task and would reload and be ready to
- run in about 20 sec. (Powerbook had virtual memory running with sufficient
- allocation for this.)
-
- I was on the road at the time and did the above to make a presentation. When I
- got home I tried the same thing on a Quadra 950, but I keep getting an error of
- type -605 when I try to run the application which has been saved. I have tried
- both Cache settings on the Quadra, made sure that the :size for the saved appli
- cation matches that of the lisp which created the application, made sure that
- no other applications were loaded before lisp when I made the application or
- when I tried to open the saved application. It seems to have no problems
- saving the application, its just that something about the saved application
- is bad.
-
- How can I get this to work on the Quadra 950?? Will I have similar problems
- on a Quadra 700 or a IIci? Please send any helpful comments to me at my
- address above as I am not a regular on info-mcl.
-
- Second question: We find that it takes a long time for our system to compile.
- In particular we have two parts which are 200 - 300 K which contain functions
- that are created. Is there anything we can do to speed up the compiling pro-
- cess? Again, please send any helpful comments to my e-mail address above.
-
- Thanks in advance for your help.
