 Introduction
 ************
 
 GOOPS is the object oriented extension to Guile. Its implementation is
 derived from STk-3.99.3 by Erick Gallesio and version 1.3 of Gregor
 Kiczales `Tiny-Clos'.  It is very close in spirit to CLOS, the Common
 Lisp Object System (`CLtL2') but is adapted for the Scheme language.
 While GOOPS is not compatible with any of these systems, GOOPS contains
 a compatibility module which allows for execution of STKlos programs.
 
 Briefly stated, the GOOPS extension gives the user a full object
 oriented system with multiple inheritance and generic functions with
 multi-method dispatch.  Furthermore, the implementation relies on a true
 meta object protocol, in the spirit of the one defined for CLOS
 (`Gregor Kiczales: A Metaobject Protocol').
