Does anybody know of a Common Lisp interface to the Unix system calls?
It would be really great if the interface chucked the Unix errno error
model and created new conditions in the condition system type
hierarchy tree. Something that directly called assembly language would
be best but a foreign function interface to the C routines would be
acceptable too. ADVthanksANCE.
