3Each C file in this directory are heavily commented examples that illustrate
4only one or two S-Lang features. Some C files are accompanied by a .sl file
5that contains S-Lang code relevant to the example.

7If you find these demos confusing, please let me know so I can work on
8improving them.

10Please note that these demos WILL NOT WORK under msdos unless the S-lang
11library is compiled with the -DFLOAT_TYPE option.

13---------------------------------------------------------------------------
14pager.c: A simple file pager demo. Use pageup/down keys to scroll
15 through the file. It illustrates the SLsmg, SLsig, SLkp,
16 and SLscroll routines of the S-Lang library. This example
17 should be contrasted with the curses demo ../src/curses/view.c.
18
19keypad.c: Illustrates the slkeypad facility.
20
21simple.c: This file contains slightly more than the miniumum required to
22 embed S-Lang. It loads a file specified on the command line.
23
24simple.sl: An S-Lang script that prompts for a filename and returns
25 information about the file. Use this with the `simple'
26 executable.
27
28array.c: This example shows how to embed a C array into S-Lang allowing
29 access to the array from a S-Lang script.
30array.sl: This script reads and writes the array specified in array.c.
31
32useropen.c This example shows how to specify an object that S-Lang will
33 interpret. S-lang already knows how to interpret code contained
34 in strings and files. Interpreting code from a `readline'
35 structure is illustrated here. The demo in ../src/calc.c uses
36 this technique to interpret data from S-Lang's readline routines.
37
38complex.c Adding an application defined data type is the focus of this
39 example. Specifically, a complex number type is added and the
40 binary and unary operators are overloaded to work with the new
41 type.
42complex.sl A script that manipulates the complex number type defined in
43 complex.c.
