+========================
+
+Introduction
+
+ The examples are written so that the same comments aren't
+ repeated (much) in later files.
+
+ On POSIX systems, the examples should build by just typing "make".
+
+ The examples that use stdin or stdout don't set stdin and stdout
+ to binary mode. On systems where it matters (e.g. Windows) it is
+ possible that the examples won't work without modification.
+
+
