Lisp Routine Locations

Question.
What is the best way to set up the location for lisp files? Currently the trend in my small company is to put all lisp routines in one file. I just started to learn about lisp routines and this seemed fine at first because everything was together but now when I try to incorporate stuff that I write it messes it up.

Thoughts

 

definately split up and put into directories, this will help you organize.
Use a common library file that loads each file on demand to save on
memory.....

I would recommend making the folder outside of AutoCAD so they don't get
deleted in an upgrade or uninstall. I recommend using C:\CLISP for custom
lisp. I use C:\WLT\LISP14A, 14B, 15, 16 as I have approx 1500+ in the first
two and my DOS file manager doesn't like more than that. Yes, I still like
DOS for some types of useage. I also put all of my stuff under my initials
as it is much easier to erase my stuff if I change companies.

Here is a sample from our acaddoc.lsp, that we have located in a directory
far far away...

(defun C:ATR ()
(load "ATR")
(C:ATR)
)
(defun C:RV ()
(load "RV")
(C:RV)
)
(defun C:HOOK ()
(load "HOOK")
(C:HOOK)
)

these functions allow us to keep all of our lisp in their own separate
files, and load them on demand, as you can see, very simple coding.
