It loads a lot of files and several subsystems, including: <ul> <li><code>Loading system CLIM version 66</code></li> <li><code>Initializing subsystem CLIM Utilities</code></li> <li><code>Initializing subsystem CLIM Silica</code></li> <li><code>Initializing subsystem CLIM Standalone</code></li> <li><code>Initializing system CLIM version 66</code></li> <li><code>Loading patches for system CLIM version 66</code></li> <li><code>Patches for CLIM (Current version is 66.3):</code></li> </ul> </li> <li>If you attempt to use CLIM at this point, however, it won&rsquo;t work because there is no driver (in my parlance only, I&rsquo;m not sure the official term). The example code will fail: <code>Error: Cannot find port type: :GENERA</code></li> <li><code>Load System Genera-CLIM</code> will install the remaining parts</li> </ul> <p>This whole process takes probably 15+ minutes of compiling and crunching, so you might want to save the world and restart after this (although I didn&rsquo;t do this yet).</p>
