   1. What is SùWùOùRùD ?
   ----------------------

         SWORD means System of Windows for the ORganisation of the Desktop.
         It is a Graphic User Interface (GUI) made with C++ objects, and
    it is accessible with Turbo C++ and GNU C++ (djgpp).
         It provides to the programmer all objects that are necessary to
    implement a nice and intuitive GUI. With Sword, all your programs will
    look as nice as NeXT interface. Thanks to object oriented programming,
    this interface is very easy to program.
         The basic concepts behind the objects in SWORD are :
         -> Linked lists (or in fact linked trees)
         -> Events mecanism
         -> Efficient way of managing overlapping windows

   2. Installation
   ---------------

         You must have the files :
                SW200A_1.ZIP
                SW200A_2.ZIP
                SW200A.TXT
         and the PKUNZIP (or equivalent) unarchiver.

         Create a directory for SWORD on your hard disk (let say C: for
    example), and keep the archive files on two floppy disks :
                MKDIR C:\SWORD
         Extract all the files from archive nø1 :
                PKUNZIP -d A:\SW200A_1.ZIP C:\SWORD
         Change floppy disk, and extract all the files from archive nø2 :
                PKUNZIP -d A:\SW200A_2.ZIP C:\SWORD
