Cheers, I thought there might be something that was QL installable but didn't want to get sidetracked from the task at hand. I'll have a play with that in the morning :)

Enjoy yourself!

Of course, you're more than welcome to shoot me an email if you ever get stuck.

Here is a far more forgiving reference to Common Lisp than the Hyperspec, though don't let the fancy TeX typesetting intimidate you.

In addition to that, I think you should dump yourself a nice image with ASDF and QL builtin, so you don't have to load them every time.

Thanks again for the advice, and the offer. Be warned, I may take you up on it :)

I shall investigate creating that image. I found ASDF to be a bit problematic when I tried it on it's own (which is probably down to my inexperience), but QL worked first time.
