i forgot to add that it is probably best not to ARCHIVE algorithms or
generators at all. this is because an algorithm of any complexity will
likely depend on a lexical clousure and the common lisp standard does not
provide a mechanism for saving these "objects" divorced from the lexical
environment in which they were created. this turns out to not really be a
problem becuseu algorithms are almost always developed inside a text editor
anyway. so you should just save that file -- that way the algorithms can be
recreated in the environment in which they were intended.
