Abstract
--------

	This directory contains demos that show various ways to
	program with Jacl and TclBlend.

Demos
-----

1) simplepkg:   Shows how to write a simple Tcl extension package in
                Java.

2) gluepkg:     Shows how to write Tcl commands that glue together
                existing Java applications.

3) watchpkg:    Shows how to extend Tcl with a Java class by writing
                code in either Tcl or in Java.

4) pyramidpkg:  Shows how to embed a Tcl console inside a Java applet.
 		Note: This demo currently works on Jacl only.  In 
		addition to your normal CLASSPATH settings, "." needs
		to be appended to the this environment variable.


Running The Demos using Jacl
----------------------------

a)  Depending on your platform, see the README in ../unix/ or ../win for
    instructions on how to install Jacl.

b)  To compile the demos in UNIX goto the ../unix directory and type
    "make demos".  All of the class files will be compiled for all
    demos.

c)  Run the Jacl shell.  See the README in ../unix or ../win for 
    instructions on how to do this.

d)  See the README in each of the demos directory for specific information 
    on how each demo works.


Running The Demos using TclBlend
--------------------------------

a)  Depending on your platform, see the README in ../unix/ or ../win for
    instructions on how to install TclBlend.

b)  To compile the demos in UNIX goto the ../unix directory and type
    "make demos".  All of the class files will be compiled for all
    demos.

c)  Run tclsh, and load the TclBlend library.  See the README in ../unix or
    ../win for instructions on how to do this.

d)  See the README in each of the demos directory for specific information 
    on how each demo works.
