Yet Another Defsystem
– Where to keep your System Definitions

By default, Yads will first look for a system definition file in a folder with the logical pathname "CCL:SYSTEMS;". If it does not find it there, it will look in a folder with the physical pathname "LISPSERVER:SYSTEMS:".

However, system definitions can be stored anywhere and there may be any number of registry folders. You can set the list of registry folder pathnames to suit your particular setup by modifying the global variable *CENTRAL-REGISTRY*:

   (setq *central-registry* your-list-of-pathnames)
Yads will use the first system definition file it finds while traversing this list. This means that projects can be shadowed very easily.
