9	This folder contains several examples of Logtalk programs. A brief
10	description of each example is included below.
11
12	Each example folder contains a NOTES file and a loader helper file which
13	may be used to load all the example entities. In addition, most examples
14	contain a SCRIPT file with sample queries for your to try.
15
16	Most of these examples need objects, protocols, and categories which are
17	defined in the Logtalk standard library or in other examples, so you
18	should load them first (see the NOTES files inside the library folder and
19	the NOTES file inside each example folder).
20
21	Some examples may redefine objects already loaded from other examples.
22	You may want to restart Logtalk after trying each example.
23
24	Some of the examples code have been adopted from public available Prolog
25	code and from known Prolog text books and are copyrighted by the respective
26	authors.
27
28	These are programming examples, meaning that you should study the source
29	files to fully understand them.
30
31	All examples are formatted using four spaces tabs.
32
33	By default, compiling an example generates a .xml documenting file for each
34	compiled entity (object, category, or protocol). See the xml folder for
35	instructions on how to browse the .xml files for on-line reading or how to
36	convert the files to a print-ready format such as PDF.
