One thing that has cropped up as I am trying to resurrect my PICACS code =
in SBCL is that the code I developed to save objects (and any =
subobjects) to disk is broken, because of all of the CCL calls I used.=20

I there a standard LISP way of writing objects to disk (and later =
restoring them), including all subobjects?=20

As it was, I solved it three years ago by writing code that determines =
the slots of any object, traverses the whole object and subobject tree =
of a given object and writes out to disk the code needed to recreate the =
objects.

Surely there is a better way, and one that doesn't require =
system-specific calls (?) -- and three days of hunting poor =
documentation to figure out how to translate my CCL implementation to =
SBCL?

Cheers,
