[Logiweb] Canned compiler

[Klaus Ebbe Grue]

Hi logiweb at diku.dk,

Concerning the 'canned' option to the pyk compiler:

(1) Be sure to be on bach-0 when making a canned version of the compiler. 
Different machines may have different versions of clisp.

(2) When using 'canned', the compiler stores all pages transitively 
referenced from the page being translated, *excluding* the page being 
translated. The compiler does a full compile and verify of the page being 
translated before doing the dump, which is waste of time. I will change 
that some time. I think one can get a quick dump of a set of pages by 
constructing a page that references the pages to be canned and whose body 
consists of the empty string "". Unfortunately, the associativity sections 
have to be included even if the body is the empty string.

(3) Staff has not yet responded concerning quote. Until then use /tmp as 
Martin suggested.

(4) Canned versions can be shared. If one student makes a canned version 
and does a 'chmod go+rx' on it, anybody can execute it.
