 as its universal execution backend, and has its limitations,
 which are as follows.
 
-Platforms supported inferior-shell at this time include:
-ABCL, Allegro, CLISP, ClozureCL, CMUCL, ECL, LispWorks, RMCL, SBCL, SCL, XCL.
-Platforms NOT supported (yet) include:
-CormanLisp (untested), GCL (untested), Genera (unimplemented), MKCL (untested).
-On supported platforms, inferior-shell works on both Unix and Windows.
+First, inferior-shell at this point only supports
+synchronous execution of sub-processes.
+For asynchronous execution, please use IOlib or executor.
+IOlib requires C compilation and linking, and may or may not support Windows.
+executor only supports select implementations.
+A future extension to inferior-shell may use IOlib as a backend.
 
-One current limitation is lack of support for arbitrary input redirection.
+Second, there is currently limited support for input redirection.
 The only possible input redirection is from /dev/null
 or by inheriting the parent's standard input
 when running in :interactive mode.
+However, using shell redirection, you can also redirect input from a file,
+or from a numbered file descriptor (except 0, 1, 2).
