# cmuclconfig(8)

CMU Common Lisp configuration

## NAME

cmuclconfig - CMU Common Lisp configuration

## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

*cmuclconfig* Reconfigures CMU Common Lisp. The program shows a menu of packages you can install in a custom lisp image and then offers the option of making this image.
