Version: 0.6.2. The implementation in ‘sources/alpm.lsp’ is complete (encoding conversion covers ascii / utf-8 / utf-8-bom / cp1252 / mac-roman; cp1250 / cp1251 / cp932 are recognized in declarations but not converted yet).
ALPM is to AutoLISP what ASDF is to Common Lisp: you describe your libraries as systems — named sets of source files with declared dependencies — and ALPM loads them in the right order, every time, on AutoCAD, BricsCAD, or clautolisp.
One calling convention to know: AutoLISP functions take a fixed number of arguments, so the arguments written ‘[in brackets]’ in this manual must still be passed — give ‘nil’ to get the default, as in ‘(alpm-load-system "geometry" nil)’.
