+;;;; Runtime-system adapters
+;;; package: (edwin adapters)
+
+;;; This file contains adapters that bridge between Edwin and the runtime
+;;; system. These are necessary because Edwin has assumptions about the
+;;; behavior of the runtime system that are no longer valid. Since some of
+;;; these assumptions are deeply rooted, it's easier to adapt around them rather
+;;; than rewrite Edwin.
+
+;;; The most critical assumption is that Edwin relies on an older model of
+;;; strings, in which each character is a byte, and the default coding is ISO
+;;; 8859-1, while the runtime system now supports full Unicode and uses a
+;;; default coding of UTF 8. Most of that is taken care of by the (edwin
+;;; string) package, which contains a copy of the runtime's old string
+;;; implementation. Other things, like file I/O, are handled here.
