 Overview.
 ----------------------------------------
 
-  SLIME is the Superior Lisp Interaction Mode (which has been
-  Extended). It is implemented in two main parts: the Emacs Lisp side
-  (slime.el), and the support library for the Common Lisp
-  (swank.lisp for CMUCL, swank-sbcl.lisp, swank-openmcl.lisp for 
-  the others)
