• Char-code-limit, most-positive-fixnum, most-negative-fixnum, and internal-time-units-per-second constants. slib:features and *load-pathname* variables.
• Arrays and bit-vectors. String ports and software emulation ports. I/O extensions providing ANSI C and POSIX.1 facilities.
• Interfaces to standard libraries including REGEX string regular expression matching and the CURSES screen management package.
• Available add-on packages including an interactive debugger, database, X-window graphics, BGI graphics, Motif, and Open-Windows packages.
