[CSC 330] Problems with Lisp scripting

[Andrew J. Pounds]

Some of you have reported that when you try to run your lisp code as an 
executable it dumps into the SBCL environment.  I figured out what was 
going on.


On cobra for some reason some of the Lisp probrams think that they were 
created in a Windows or DOS environment and have DOS end of line 
terminators (Carraige return followed by a line feed). For that reason 
when you run your code as a script it runs until it gets to the carraige 
return and then the next character is a line feed which dumps it into 
the SBCL development environment.

If you run the linux "file" command on your file you will get something 
like this...

|cobra:/scratch/pounds/Prog01/Lisp % file HappyNums.lisp HappyNums.lisp: 
Lisp/Scheme program, ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators|


to fix this, run the command dos2unix

|cobra:/scratch/pounds/Prog01/Lisp % dos2unix HappyNums.lisp dos2unix: 
converting file HappyNums.lisp to Unix format 
cobra:/scratch/pounds/Prog01/Lisp % file HappyNums.lisp HappyNums.lisp: 
Lisp/Scheme program, ASCII text|


Notice that the "with CRLF line terminators" message is gone. You should 
now be able to run your code in SBCL as an executable without it 
dropping into the development environment.
