Thanks, Robert, that helps a lot. Using ASDF:SYSTEM-RELATIVE-PATHNAME is a big step forward. A follow-up question: Is there a way to know, within a file which is being loaded, whether or not it's being loaded via ASDF? The index file might be loaded via CL:LOAD also. Just to clarify the

Finding out from where the .asd was loaded and/or referencing a non-executable data file

Hi, I am resuming my tinkering on the Maxima interface to ASDF. I have bumped into a kind of minor problem for which I don't see a solution. Maxima can read .info files for documentation items. An index file (Lisp) which is created ahead of time (not run time) tells where the items are in the
