The enclosed Object I/O Reference Demo is an abbreviated version of the hypertext manual provided with Object I/O 1.1.
Many people have asked us basic questions about what object I/O is for and why do they need it. We felt the best learning tool at our disposal is the tutorial section of the reference. Several have also commented that object I/O is only for advanced users of the TCL. We believe just the opposite, that object I/O will let beginning users prototype a *working* application that saves and opens documents, instead of a dummy program with just a user interface. Again, the manual seemed to be the best way to communicate.
The Demo is about 1/3 the size of the actual manual. Omitted to save downloading time are most of the method and function reference pages and some of the text sections. In the actual manual, every method name, function name and instance variable is a link. The Index and Table of Contents reflect the entire contents, though, so you can get a feel for the scope of the library.
