-      Installation is fairly simple. The main requirement is that you
-      have a copy of &defsystem;. You can download the latest version
-      of &defsystem; from the <ulink
-      url="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/clocc">
-      <citetitle>CLOCC</citetitle></ulink>
-      CVS tree. After installing &defsystem;, simply
-      <function>push</function> the
-      directory containing &uffi; into
-      <varname>mk:*central-registry*</varname>. Whenever you
-want to load the &uffi; package, use the function
-      <computeroutput>(mk:oos :uffi 'load)</computeroutput>.
