I am currently working on developing a system that will require the user
to save the instances he/she created on top of a pre-defined classes.
Does any one know of any utility in the public domain that can be used
to keep track of the instances created and later parse them on a file
for future use?
I would appreciate any suggestions regarding the best way to do such
task. Do I really need to keep track of every instance made and then
later on parse a clos code to a file that reads like:
(make-instance ...
(make-instance ...
..
for future use. Or is there anyway around this?
