DESCRIPTION

	BGUI is a graphical user interface library, written by Ian J. Einman,
	for the Amiga computer which allows for easy, flexible and fast GUI
	creation. It is based on BOOPSI (Basic Object-Oriented Programming
	System for Intuition) and consists of a single shared library which
	is easy to install.

	- Programmers:

		* BGUI gives you the ability to easily create automatically font
		  sensitive and resizable windows.  You won't use gadtools.library
		  again!

		* BGUI handles input and notification; your application can almost
		  run by itself.

		* BGUI has been used for many projects, and is well tested and
		  developed. There are many other experienced programmers who can help
		  you get started.

		* BGUI interfaces can adapt to user preferences, and localize
		  themselves.

		* BGUI comes with enough object classes to get you going, and third
		  parties have written classes as well.  Example source is included to
		  show you how to write your own.

		* BGUI is free! No license or fees required for shareware or commercial
		  usage.

	- Users:

		* BGUI interfaces are font sensitive, resizable, often localized, and
		  can adjust to your preferences.

		* BGUI has far smaller memory and disk requirements than other GUI
		  systems, while retaining the most important features.

		* Many BGUI applications include everything you need to get started,
		  there is rarely a need to obtain yet another file.

		* BGUI is free!

	This archive contains modules and examples on how to use BGUI with AmigaE.
