Another question:
I believe there was some discussion in this group a little while back
concerning Persistent Objects in CLOS.  Well, I don't have any record of
that discussion, and I've reached a point where I find it necessary to
write some methods to save the state of CLOS objects (i.e. - class
metaobjects as well as instances) to a file, so they can be restored at
a later time...

Is there any general facility to do this in CLOS, and, if not, can
anyone give me a suggestion of the best way to do this?  I assume this
is a fairly common problem that has been dealt with many times before...

Once again, Thanks for any and all assistance!
Dave.
