It is a Lisp implementation of a balanced tree data structure.  It is
used by the JDEE. It is part of the elib package, which is listed on
the JDEE website as one of the requirements of the JDEE. If you
download and install the elib package and the other packages required
by the JDEE as instructed by the JDEE installation instructions, you
will have no problems starting the JDEE.
