Support LispWorks (at least on Windows)

[lispstudent]

Since UIOP is not supporting LispWorks,

CL-USER 7 > (cmd:$cmd "ls")

Error: Not (currently) implemented on LISPWORKS: UIOP/LAUNCH-PROGRAM:LAUNCH-PROGRAM
  1 (abort) Return to top loop level 0.

Type :b for backtrace or :c <option number> to proceed.
Type :bug-form "<subject>" for a bug report template or :? for other options.

Would you consider adding support for LispWorks (at least on Windows)?

Although not proficient enough to offer a patch I would be glad to test.

I would like to support LispWorks (in this and other libraries) but the last time I tried to use the free version the ASDF was so ancient I couldn't get anything to load. So I'm afraid I'm not likely to do it.

Also this is probably a problem that should be fixed at the UIOP level.

That said I would be willing to accept a PR that added LispWorks support.

Thanks,

should be fixed at the UIOP level.

I researched this a bit, it seems ASDF maintainer is not much interested in that.

the last time I tried to use the free version

Recently LispWorks released version 7.1.2 of Personal Edition, bringing it up to par with all other editions. Perhaps ASDF would be better now?

As I said, I am not proficient enough to offer patches, but I would be glad to test, as many times as needed, via Hobby DV license.

Thank you for taking the time to look at the request.

The error message I was getting on Lispworks was a little different , but I am on Linux. Can you see whether you this PR makes things work for you? #12

The error message I was getting was "I/O parameters cannot be foreign streams on this Lisp"
