-These demos demonstrate using Gtk directly from a higher level language.
-None of the demos have any low level code in them. There is no need for
-any makefiles, C compilers, or any other low level stuff. There is
-probably no need to install Gtk, because it's probably already used by
-your Linux.
-
-To use a different high level language for these demos, it is of course
-necessary to edit them to change the language. But they aren't very long
-and that might not take very long. It's strongly advised to run the
-present demos first, and make some minor changes to them, to see the
-differences, to make sure to understand how they work, before starting to
-change them to a different language.
-
-When a demo script gets invoked, the code gets compiled into memory, with
-a very fast compiler, so there will be no object files, executable binaries,
-etc., unless those are desired. The only requirement is to download or copy
-and paste the demos and demostuff and make each demo executable with
-"chmod +x demo[1-4]". Then run the demos with "./demo4".
-
-If there are error messages about not finding sbcl, it might be necessary
-to install that, or to add it to the path. Installing sbcl is easy, usually
-via the Linux distro.
-
-In the rare circumstance that a particular Linux distro doesn't have sbcl,
-you could install, via sbcl.org, either a binary version, or the sources to
-compile.
