1.3 Evaluation quick guide

If you are evaluating LispWorks, then the following notes might prove to be useful.

• LispWorks support (lisp-support@lispworks.com) will be happy to answer any issues you have.
• The LispWorks distribution contains various examples demonstrating various features of LispWorks. All the examples are in the directory "examples" inside the LispWorks installation.

You can find this directory by evaluating the following in a LispWorks Listener:

Each example contains comments that explain what it demonstrates.

In many cases it is convenient to copy the example and modify it to do what you want, rather than writing your own code from scratch.

• If you encounter an error that is not obviously a bug in your code, it is always best to produce a full bug report as described in Generate a bug report template. This will speed up the resolution of the issue.
• If you have performance issues, you should use room, extended-time and profile to narrow the problem. See the LispWorks User Guide and Reference Manual for details of these diagnostic functions and macros. You should also report it to LispWorks support, as LispWorks is efficient in general and we do not expect performance problems.
