<DT><H3>About these pages</H3><DD>
As you can see on the right, this Metakit documentation is
presented using a frames-based "browser" interface, which should make it
easy to navigate and find specific information
(<A href=index.html target="_top">click here</A>
if you don't see the index pane).
<P>
The <B><A href=classes.html>Class Index</A></B> describes the API of
all the public classes in Metakit.
The <B><A href=samples.html>Sample Index</A></B> describes each of the
samples supplied as part of the evaluation package.
The <B><A href=tips.html>Tips and Tricks</A></B> section
goes into issues such as performance and gives more advanced
background information.
<DT><H3>Class hierarchy</H3><DD>
The following list only mentions the public API classes
