+Command Syntax:
+
+ - )savesystem filename
+
+Command Description:
+
+ This command is used to save an OpenAxiom image to disk. This creates an
+executable file which, when started, has everything loaded into it
+that was there when the image was saved. This command does not work
+with general Common Lisp. It works only with GCL- and SBCL-based
+OpenAxiom. In general, this command should be considered as deprecared.
+
+Thus, after executing commands which cause the loading of some
+packages, the command:
+
+)savesystem /tmp/savesys
+
+will create an image that can be restarted with the UNIX command:
+
+axiom -ws /tmp/savesys
+
+This new system will not need to reload the packages and domains that
+were already loaded when the system was saved.
+
+There is currently a restriction that only systems started with the
+command "AXIOMsys" may be saved.
