    <h4>Content</h4> 
    <ul>
	This directory contains the demo programs for <b>STk</b>.
	There are several categories of demos available from here:
	<ul>      
	  <li> <a href="README.html#stk">STk demos</a>: They correspond to
	    program which don't use CLOS like object extension of
	    <b>STk</b>. These demo are quite simple and they often mimic
	    original Tcl/Tk demonstrations
	  <li> <a href="README.html#stklos">STklos demos</a>: These
	    demonstration programs use the STklos object Extension of
	    <B>STk</B>.  The code of most of these demos has been kept short 
	    to illustrate the basic of STklos programming.
	  <li> <a href="Html-Demos/main.html">Html demo</a>: This demo is 
	    in fact an overview of STk/STklos that I have used once in a 
	    presentation of STklos. The pages accessible from this link 
	    present STk but also contains links or Scheme applets which 
	    illustrate the kind of things that can be done with the STk 
	    browser. Of course, to properly execute the applets contained
	    in theses pages, you need to run the STk Html browser 
	    (see below).
	    
	</ul>
    </ul>
    <h4>Running demonstration programs without installing STk</h4>
    <ul>
	If you want to run a demo <STRONG>BEFORE</STRONG> a complete
	installation of the <b>STk</b> package, you must use the shell
	script <code>../Src/test-stk</code> in order to run the
	interpreter (this shell script set some variables to run properly 
	the interpreter without installing it).
    </ul>
    <h4>Running demonstration programs in the STk web browser</h4>
    <ul>
	<b>STk</b> provides a simple Web browser which can be used to launch 
	the demo of this directory. If you are not running it now, you can 
	type the following command:
	<pre>          ../Src/test-stk -f S-scape README.html</pre>
	at the shell prompt.
    </ul>

    <h2><a name="stk">1. STk demos</a></h2>
    <h4>1.1 Basic STk demos</h4>
    
    <UL>
      <p><li>
	<B><A name=hello>hello.stk</a></B>

      <p><li>
	<b>mc-server.stk</b>
	<br>
	A multiple-clients server. On Unix, you can use several telnet
	sessions to <I>discuss</I> with the server. Each discussion
	has its own dedicated channel. Type <tt>(exit)</tt> at the <b>STk</b>
	when you want to exit the demo.
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(system "xterm -e ../Src/test-stk -load mc-server.stk &")>
	 ../Src/test-stk -load mc-server.stk </A>
    </ul>

	puzzle starting with a given board configuration.
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "queens.stk")> ../Src/test-stk -f queens.stk </A>
	<br>
	<u>Comment</u>: This code is a contribution of <b>Grant
	 Edwards</b> <tt>&lt;grante@rosemount.com)&gt;</tt>
      <p><li>
        <b>stetris.stk</b>
	<br>
        This is a falling block game not unlike tetris(tm) :). It is
        implemented in <b>STk</b> just to prove it can be done, and as a
        challenge to TCLers.  It starts slowly and becomes faster and
        faster.  Have fun.
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "stetris.stk")> ../Src/test-stk -f stetris.stk </A>

	<br>
	This is a simple color palette written in STk.
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "colormap.stk")> ../Src/test-stk -f colormap.stk </A>
	<br>
	<u>Comment</u>: Note that this program is no more really useful since
	<B>STk</B> offers now the function <tt>Tk:choose-color</tt>
	which allow to choose a color by name or by value.

      <p><li>
        <b>small-ed.stk</b>
	<br>
	A small editor to create enhanced text
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "small-ed.stk")> ../Src/test-stk -f small-ed.stk </A>     
	<br>
	<u>Comment</u>: 
	This editor use a <I>ad-hoc</I> format for saving file and was
	used for the help buttons of various widgets in old versions
	of <B>STk</B>.  It will not be developed anymore since the
	preferred format for help is now HTML.

      <p><li>
	<b>showvars.stk</b>
	<br>
	A variable shower: this program shows the value of three
	variables (named a,b and c) Changing the value of one of
	these vars (with a <tt><b>set!</b></tt> for instance) will
	redisplay its new value immediately.
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run  "-load showvars.stk")>

	<br>

      <p><li>
        <b>inspector.stk</b>
	<br>
	A simple demo of the inspector on Tk widgets
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "inspector.stk")> ../Src/test-stk -f inspector.stk </A>
	<br>
	<u>Comment</u>: 
	<STRONG> Does not work with this version of <I>STk</I>
	<BR>A new version of the inspector is in practically finished and 
	will be soon released.</STRONG>

      <p><li>
	<b>term.stk</b>
	<br>
	A simple terminal emulator (a kind of xterm, but in a text widget).
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "term.stk")> ../Src/test-stk -f term.stk </A>
	<br>
	<u>Comment</u>: Users of <b>Glibc2 (aka libc6, or RedHat 5.0
	users)</b>: This program has problems with new release of the
	libc under Linux, if your shell has the line editing mode
	set. To avoid the problem you can
	<ul>
	  <li> disable the line editing mode of your shell
	  <li> set the SHELL variable to a dumb shell (e.g. ash)
	  <li> link STk with the old libc
	  <li> don't run the demo :-)
	</ul>
    </ul>


<! -------------------------------------------------------------------------->

    <h2><a name="stklos">2. STklos demos</a></h2>
    <ul>
      All the standard Tk widgets have been wrapped in <b>STklos</b>
      classes. As a result, in <b>STklos</b>, Tk widgets are seen as instances of
      <b>STklos</b> classes. 
      <br> There are two kinds of <b>STklos</b> widgets:
      <ul>
	<li> <i>Simple widgets</i> which map one to one the Tk standard
	widgets 

	<li> <i>Composite widgets</i> which are built from simple Tk
	widgets (or even simpler composite widgets).
      </ul>
      Demonstration programs accessible from this page use indifferently
     <i>simple widgets</i> and <i>composite widgets</i>.
    </ul>

    <h4>2.1 Basic STklos demos</h4>

    <ul>
      <p><li>
	<b>hello.stklos</b>
	<br>
	This is a simple rewriting of the <a HREF=#hello>hello.stk</a>
	demonstration in <b>STklos</b>
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "hello.stklos")> ../Src/test-stk -f hello.stklos </A>

      <p><li>
	<b>browse.stklos</b>
	<br>
	This is a simple rewriting of the <a HREF=#browse>browse.stk</a>
	demonstration in <b>STklos</b>
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "browse.stklos")> ../Src/test-stk -f browse.stklos </A>



      <p><li>
	<b>stklos-demo.stklos</b>
	A simple demo written in STklos. 
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "stklos-demo.stklos")>../Src/test-stk -f stklos-demo.stklos</a>
	<br>
	<u>Comment</u>: What is interesting in this demo is not what
	it does, nothing specially fancy, but how it is easy to
	program, IMHO.

      <p><li>
	<b>stklos-demo2.stklos</b>
	Another  simple demo written in STklos. 
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "stklos-demo2.stklos")>
	../Src/test-stk -f stklos-demo2.stklos</a>
	<br>
	<u>Comment</u>: Here again, what is interesting in this demo is not what
	it does, nothing specially fancy, but how it is easy to
	program, IMHO.
      <p><li>
	<b>classbrowse.stklos</b>
	This demo shows the STklos class browser.
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "classbrowse.stklos")>
	../Src/test-stk -f classbrowse.stklos</a>
	<br>

    </ul>

    <h4>2.2 STklos widgets</h4>
	    
      <ul>
      <p><li>
        <b>widget.stklos</b>
	<br>
	A tour of the Tk widgets. This demo shows all the Tk
	widgets. This is a rewriting in STklos of the big Tcl/Tk demo
	<tt>widget.tcl</tt>. For each widget demo accessible from this
	program, you can see the source by just clicking the <tt>"See
	code"</tt> button. You can modify the code and test your
	modified version by clicking the button <tt>"Rerun demo"</tt>
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "widget.stk")> ../Src/test-stk -f widget.stk </A>
	<br>
	<u>Comment</u>: This demo illustrate only the simple widgets
	(the ones of the Tk library). For a <i>composite widgets</i>
	demo look at the <tt>stklos-widgets.stklos</tt> program.
	
      <p><li>
        <b>filebox.stklos</b>
	<br>
	This is a simple program which uses the <tt>&lt;File-box&gt;</tt> 
	<i>composite widget</i>. A <tt>&lt;File-box&gt;</tt> is a file requester
	with file name completion (on the <tt>Tab</tt> key).This widget is 
	itself a composition of various composite widget classes.
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "filebox.stklos")>	../Src/test-stk -f filebox.stklos </A>

      <p><li>
        <b>stklos-widgets.stklos</b>
	<br>
	A quick demo of some of the STklos <i>Composite widgets</i>
	which are available in this release.
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "stklos-widgets.stklos")>
	 ../Src/test-stk -f stklos-widgets.stklos </A>
	<br>
	<u>Comment</u>: This code is a contribution of <b>Drew Whitehouse</b>
    	<TT>&lt;Drew.Whitehouse@anu.edu.au&gt</TT>.
      </ul>


    <h4>2.3 STklos Applications</h4>
    <ul>
      <p><li>
	<b>calc.stklos</b>
	<br>
	This is a simplistic calculator.
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "calc.stklos")>../Src/test-stk -f calc.stklos </A>     

      <p><li>
	<b>tkcolor.stklos</b>
	<br>
	This is a simple color picker written in <B>STklos</B>.
	Clicking the left mouse button in the color box sets the text
	color to the chosen color. Clicking the right button sets the
	background color. The <i>Select</i> button sets the selection 
	to a string which can be used (by pasting it in an xterm window) 
	as argument of most X11 applications  to set their foreground and 
	background color.
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "tkcolor.stklos")>../Src/test-stk -f tkcolor.stklos </A> 

      <p><li>
        <b>amib.stklos</b>
	<br>
	<B>A</B> <B>M</B>ini <B>I</B>nterface <B>B</B>uilder. 
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "amib.stklos")> ../Src/test-stk -f amib.stklos </A>
	<br>
	<u>Comment</u>: The current version of AMIB allow you to:
	<ul>
	  <li>place objects on a plane by drag and drop
	  <li>resize objects
	  <li>displace objects
	  <li>change all the slots of an object (color, font, value, ...)
	  <li>save an interface to reload it later in an application
	</ul>
	However it is far from a really usable interface builder (but
	after all it is only a 600 lines of code application!!!!)

      <p><li>
	<b>S-scape.stklos</b>
	<br>
	The STk web browser. You are probably using it while seeing these lines.
	<br>
	<u>Run with</u>:
	<A expr=(run "S-scape.stklos")>	../Src/test-stk -f S-scape.stklos </A>     
   </ul>
