+This directory contains tests and demos of FL. In most cases you can
+learn a lot about how to program FL by looking at the source code.
+
+Type "make" to compile them all.
+
+The program "demo" is a graphical interface to run all the demos.
+(you may recognize this as a rewrite of an XForms program).
+
+Some of the more interesting programs:
+
+fractals: A GLUT program with FL controls added to it
+
+glpuzzle: A GLUT program with no modifications
+
+fullscreen: Demo of how to make your window toggle to fill screen
+
+list_visuals: necessary to debug X visual stuff
+
+mandelbrot: A true application, using panels built in Fluid
+
+menubar: Demo of how FL's menus work
+
+shiny: Demo of drawing FL's controls using OpenGL
+
+forms: An XForms program to demonstrate emulation
+
+colbrowser: Another XForms program that is actually useful
+
+The program "fl_image" can be compiled if you have the jpeg library.
+The makefile assummes that the jpeg distribution resides in
+../../jpeg-6a/. Perhaps edit the Makefile to fix this, and type
+"make fl_image" to make this jpeg file viewer.
