37 <para>This manual is largely derived from the manual for the &CMUCL;
38 system, which was produced at Carnegie Mellon University and
39 later released into the public domain. This manual is in the
40 public domain and is provided with absolutely no warranty. See the
41 <filename>COPYING</> and <filename>CREDITS</> files for more
54 <para>This manual is maintained in SGML/DocBook, and automatically
55 translated into other forms (e.g. HTML or TeX). If you're
56 <emphasis>reading</> this manual in one of these non-DocBook
57 translated forms, that's fine, but if you want to <emphasis>modify</>
58 this manual, you are strongly advised to seek out a DocBook version
59 and modify that instead of modifying a translated version. Even
60 better might be to seek out <emphasis>the</> DocBook version
61 (maintained at the time of this writing as part of
62 <ulink url="http://sbcl.sourceforge.net/">the &SBCL; project</>)
63 and submit a patch.</para>
