two other things.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>You should know how to program in Common Lisp.
If you don't already know how, you should probably read a
<a href="intro.html#more-cl-info" title="Where To Go For More Information about Common Lisp in General">book on it</a>.</p></li><li><p>The Unix “<span class="quote">man page</span>” for <span class="application">SBCL</span> will tell you
how to start the <span class="application">SBCL</span> environment, so you can get to the
classic “<span class="quote">hello, world</span>” level of knowledge. It's the file
called <tt class="filename">sbcl.1</tt> in the <span class="application">SBCL</span> distribution. If <span class="application">SBCL</span> is
installed on your system, you can read a formatted copy by
executing the command <span><b class="command">man sbcl</b></span>.</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p><p>Besides this user manual and the Unix man page, some
other <span class="application">SBCL</span>-specific information is available:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>The <a href="http://sbcl.sourceforge.net/" target="_top">
<span class="application">SBCL</span> home page</a> has some general
information, plus links to mailing lists devoted to <span class="application">SBCL</span>,
and to archives of these mailing lists.</p></li><li><p>Documentation for non-<span class="acronym">ANSI</span> extensions for
various commands is available online from the <span class="application">SBCL</span> executable
itself. The extensions for functions which have their own
command prompts (e.g. the debugger, and <tt class="function">inspect</tt>)
are documented in text available by typing <b class="userinput"><tt>help</tt></b>
at their command prompts. The extensions for functions which
don't have their own command prompt (like <tt class="function">trace</tt>
does) are described in their documentation strings,
unless your <span class="application">SBCL</span> was compiled with an option not
to include documentation strings, in which case the doc strings
are only readable in the source code.</p></li><li><p>Some low-level information describing the
programming details of the conversion from <span class="application">CMU CL</span> to <span class="application">SBCL</span>
is available in the <tt class="filename">doc/FOR-CMUCL-DEVELOPERS</tt>
file in the <span class="application">SBCL</span> distribution.</p></li></ul></div><p>
