RELEASE NOTES FOR TALIGENT SAMPLES DIRECTORY

The TaligentSamples directory has a selection of sources and binaries
that help programmers learn and use the CommonPoint(TM) application
system. This sample code is divided into two categories: supported and
unsupported.  Within these categories, are sample applications,
smaller examples, and helpful bundles of system-supplementary classes
called "enablers." The directory structure matches these conceptual
categories.

Supported - Functionality intended to carry forward, either by putting
it into the CommonPoint system, or through future versions of the
sample code. The APIs might change in a later release.

Unsupported - Interesting code that either helps you to understand the
CommonPoint System or demonstrates code for a problem domain. This
code, or similar functionality, might be provided in a future release.

Applications - Sophisticated programs in the form of Documented
Samples, tutorials, and other applications. Supported applications
include extensive written materials.

Examples - Snippets and samples that support and reinforce the
CommonPoint developer guides. Snippets are code fragments that
demonstrate an atomic task, for example, applying styles to text.
Samples are small programs with up to a half dozen classes, also
focused on just one task.

Enablers - Supplementary classes and frameworks. These are not sample
code exactly, but classes, subsystems, or frameworks too useful to go
home without.  Source code is not necessarily provided.


INSTALLING THE SAMPLES

Running the TaligentSamples.install script installs a number of sample
binaries and ancillary files into your system.  The samples installed
are StockBrowser, ConcurrentActors, WebRunnerSample, Mars and
TilesTutorial.  This script also installs the binaries and tools
necessary to build the $TaligentRoot/TaligentSamples/Supported/Examples
sources.

Assuming you have set up your CommonPoint(R) application system as
instructed in the "Installation and Release Notes," install the
samples as follows:

-- Extract all files from the Taligent Samples archive.

         $TaligentRoot/TaligentSamples/TaligentSamples.install


RUNNING THE SAMPLES

Refer to the individual README files for the particular samples to
learn how to run the samples.  You will find these in the appropriate
subdirectories under the $TaligentRoot/TaligentSamples directory.
