Description

The function load-data-file loads a fasl file created by dump-forms-to-file or with-output-to-fasl-file.

load-data-file has the same semantics as load , but treats fasl files differently:

• it cannot load a fasl generated by compile-file.
• it allows loading of fasls generated by dump-forms-to-file or with-output-to-fasl-file, including those generated by a previous version of LispWorks.

Fasl files generated by dump-forms-to-file or with-output-to-fasl-file must only be loaded using load-data-file .
