Re: Very confused about packages.


Pillsbury,

Shapiro's book is fantastic.


defpackage "match"
(:shadow boundp substitute))

(in-package "match")


That should be (defpackage "MATCH" ...) and (in-package "MATCH"). I
believe that Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 spend some time discussing the
many different printed representations that symbols possess. (Everyone
runs into this problem).

Good Luck,

Rand

==================== aside ============================
If you're using LispWorks with this example, you'll get a package name
clash.
