How do I get ccl to utilize the HOME environment variable on Windows?
By default it uses C:/Documents and Setting/<username> but I have
defined a home variable to point to D:/HOME
When I start up slime, ccl automatically creates a .slime folder in C:/
Documents and Setting/<username> as well.


Thanks

When deciding what to return from USER-HOMEDIR-PATHNAME, Clozure CL
doesn't pay attention to the HOME environment variable. On Windows, it
consults USERPROFILE; on Unix, it calls getpwuid.

See the source for the function GET-USER-HOME-DIR. You can try making
the obvious modification and then rebuilding the lisp with (rebuild-ccl
:clean t) to see if that does what you want.

Worked like a charm, thanks.
Just curious, any particular reason for not going with HOME env
variable?
