In article <65076@cup.portal.com> Thomas_E_Morgan@cup.portal.com writes: From: Thomas_E_Morgan@cup.portal.com Newsgroups: comp.lang.clos I have been doing some work which involves taking over the slot storage for metaclass instances. The purpose in doing so is to experiment with a fully versioned environment, where the values of slots, as well as the slots hemselves are versioned. Behaviors get version too, for that matter. I'd like to try and help, but I don't understand just what it is you are trying to do. For one thing, I can't understand what you mean by "slot storage for metaclass instances." If you can say some more about this that would be good. One specific question is whether you are trying to change just the base-level semantics, or do you want a "three-level tower," where the base level isn't normal CLOS, and the first meta-level isn't normal CLOS, but the second meta-level is. Perhaps an example? Gregor
