61 this manual, you are strongly advised to seek out a DocBook version
62 and modify that instead of modifying a translated version. Even
63 better might be to seek out <emphasis>the</> DocBook version
64 (maintained at the time of this writing as part of
65 <ulink url="http://sbcl.sourceforge.net/">the &SBCL; project</>)
66 and submit a patch.</para>
