r14175 r14178 52 52 \item The \code{TIME} form does not return a proper \code{VALUES} 53 53 environment to its caller. 54 \item When merging pathnames and the defaults point to a \code{JAR-PATHNAME}, 55 we set the \code{DEVICE} of the result to \code{:UNSPECIFIC} if the pathname to be 56 be merged does not contain a specified \code{DEVICE}, does not contain a 57 specified \code{HOST}, does contain a relative \code{DIRECTORY}, and we are 58 not running on a \textsc{MSFT} Windows platform.\footnote{The intent of this 59 rather arcane sounding deviation from conformance is so that the 60 result of a merge won't fill in a DEVICE with the wrong "default 61 device for the host" in the sense of the fourth paragraph in the 62 [CLHS description of MERGE-PATHNAMES][2] (the paragraph beginning 63 "If the PATHNAME explicitly specifies a host and not a deviceâŠ"). 64 A future version of the implementation may return to conformance 65 by using the \code{HOST} value to reflect the type explicitly. 66 } 67 54 68 \end{itemize} 55 69
