+CMUCL is the CMU implementation of Common Lisp. This is a 18a
+prerelease, probably the most stable version to get for FreeBSD. For
+further information see http://www.cons.org/cmucl/
+
+First-aid documentation is in the manpages lisp(1) and cmucl(1) and
+via the normal Common Lisp documentation runtime functions (describe
+...)  (documentation ...)  and (apropos ...). There is a real user
+manual that is currently adopted to 18a. See the homepage for
+pointers, we have GNU info, postscript and initial HTML files.
+
+CMUCL's strength in comparision with other Lisp systems (or dynamic
+languages in general) is its highly optimizing compiler. If you know
+how to write efficient Common Lisp code, you are free of unwanted
+memory allocation, type checks, indirections to objects. And CMUCL
+helps you to write efficient Common Lisp, it generates very
+informative warning messages about code constructs that prevent
+compilation to efficient code.
+
+Optional packages for graphical user interfaces and other Common Lisp
+applications and librarues are are on
+ftp://ftp2.cons.org/pub/languages/lisp/cmucl/binaries/ (FreeBSD-Binaries) and
+ftp://ftp2.cons.org/pub/languages/lisp/cmucl/ports/ *source)
