  <h3>Introduction</h3>
  <p>
- Lisplab is a mathematics library in common lisp
+ Lisplab is a mathematics library in Common Lisp
  released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). 
- Lisplab is based on code from <a href=http://matlisp.sourceforge.net>Matlisp</a>
- to interface Blas/Lapack for computations, but has also a lots 
- of code written natively in Common Lisp in addition. The main purpose 
- of the library is to integration various sources
- of mathematical software to a convenient platform for computations. 
- The sources of software include
+ Lisplab is based on code from <a href=http://matlisp.sourceforge.net>Matlisp</a>, 
+ but has now moved quite far from the original code mass.
+ <p>
+   The main purpose of Lisplab is to provide a framwork for 
+   mathematical computations. This means that it should be easy
+   to create and manipulate mathematical objects and have 
+   a consistent naming of methods and classes. 
+   Lisplab is heavily based on CLOS. 
+ </p>
+ Lisplab contains  
  <ul>
   <li>Interfaces to BLAS and LAPACK.
   <li>Interface to FFTW.
   <li>Numerical integration from QUADPACK and F2CL.
   <li>Special functions from SLATEC and F2CL. 
-  <li>A lot of additional routines, for linear algebra, IO, fft, etc. 
+  <li>Routines for linear algebra,
+    postscript output, PGM output, 
+    Fast Fourier Transform (in Common Lisp), infix math, etc. 
  </ul>
  </p>
  <p>
  The part of Lisplab which is most mature is the matrix and linear algebra, 
  and these should  provide a good basis for matrix based modelling. 
- The interfaces to Blas/Matlisp are only to low degree finished.
- However, new methods here should be quite easily added.
