 Open Dylan is an open source implementation of the Dylan programming
-language, plus a large number of assorted libraries.  Most of the
-code had once been developed by a company called Harlequin, for a
-product called DylanWorks in the beginning, and Harlequin Dylan later.
-After Harlequin demised, some of the programmers acquired the rights,
-and kept selling the development environment under the name of
-Functional Developer.  Eventually, to the joy of the Dylan community,
-they decided to release all of their source code under an open source
-license.  What you are holding in your hands is the attempt of a group
-of enthusiasts calling themselves the "Dylan Hackers" to bundle
-up this code, and publish it in a form useful for the general public.
