GENERAL INFORMATION Welcome to SBCL. To find out more about who created the system, see the "CREDITS" file. If you'd like information about the legalities of copying the system, see the "COPYING" file. If you'd like to install or build the system, see the "INSTALL" file. If you'd like more information about using the system, see the man page, "sbcl.1", or the user manual in the "doc/" subdirectory of the distribution. (The user manual is maintained as DocBook SGML in the source distribution; there is an HTML version in the binary distribution.) The system is a work in progress. See the "TODO" file in the source distribution for some highlights. If you'd like to make suggestions, report a bug, or help to improve the system, please send mail to one of the mailing lists: sbcl-help@lists.sourceforge.net sbcl-devel@lists.sourceforge.net SYSTEM-SPECIFIC HINTS for OpenBSD: It's reported for CMU CL (by Darren Bane on the comp.lang.lisp newsgroup, 2002-04-22) that OpenBSD 3.0 has stricter ulimit values, and/or enforces them more strictly, than its predecessors, and so CMU CL's initial mmap() won't work unless you increase the limit on the data segment, e.g. with ulimit -S -d 524288 before you run CMU CL. The same is probably true of SBCL, but hasn't been tested yet. (As of sbcl-0.7.3, SBCL has only been tested on OpenBSD 2.9 and earlier.)
