/**@name Introduction
\begin{center}
 	{\Large{\bf Welcome to the wonderful world of PWLib}}
\end{center}

PWLib is a moderately large class library that has its genesis many years ago as
a method to product applications to run on both Microsoft Windows and Unix
X-Windows systems. It also was to have a Macintosh port as well but this never
eventuated.

Since then the system has grown to having quite good application to areas other
than mere Windows GUI portability. Classes for I/O portability, multi-threading
portability, aid in producing unix daemons and NT services portably and all
sorts of internet protocols were added over the years.

All this over and above basic "container" classes such as arrays, linear lists,
sorted lists (RB Tree) and dictionaries (hash tables) which were all created
before STL became the answer to all our prayers. Unfortunately, due to intertia
and the GNU C++ inadequate support of templates, this library will probably not
be ported to STL in the near future.

The library was used extensively for all our in-house products. Then we decided
to support the open H323 project by throwing in some of the code written for
one of our products. Thus, required PWLib so it got thrown into the open source
world as well.

/**@name	Using PWLib
Detailed tutorials will almost certainly not be forthcoming. However,
at least giving you an indication on how to start an application would
be usefull, so here is the infamous "Hello world!" program.
\begin{verbatim}
// hello.cxx

#include <ptlib.h>

class Hello : public PProcess
{
  PCLASSINFO(Hello, PProcess)
  public:
	void Main();
};

PCREATE_PROCESS(Hello)

void Hello::Main()
{
  cout << "Hello world!\n";
}

// End of hello.cxx
\end{verbatim}

The \Ref{CREATE_PROCESS} macro actually defines the #main()# function
and creates an instance of Hello. This assures that everything is
initialised in the correct order. C++ does initialisation of global
statics badly (and destruction is even worse), so try to put
everything into your PProcess descedent rather than globals.

A GUI application is very similar but is descended off
\Ref{PApplication} rather than \Ref{PProcess}, and would create a
window as a descendent off the \Ref{PMainWindow} class.
