<P>This document provides the background material needed to understand

<LI><I>The <font size=-1>XPCE</font> Reference Manual</I><BR>
<CITE><A class="cite" href="Bibliography.html#XPCE:reference">Wielemaker &
Anjewierden, 1993</A></CITE> The reference manual is available by means
of the Prolog predicate manpce/0 . The reference manual provides
detailed descriptions of all classes, methods, etc. which may be
accessed from various viewpoints. See also <A class="sec" href="online.html">chapter
3</A>.
<LI><I>PceDraw: An example of using <font size=-1>XPCE</font></I><BR>
<CITE><A class="cite" href="Bibliography.html#XPCE:draw">Wielemaker,
1992</A></CITE> This document contains the annotated sources of the
drawing tool PceDraw. It illustrates the (graphical) functionality of <font size=-1>XPCE</font>
and is useful as a source of examples.
<LI><I><font size=-1>XPCE/P</font>rolog Course Notes</I><BR>
<CITE><A class="cite" href="Bibliography.html#XPCE:course">Wielemaker,
1994</A></CITE> Course-notes, examples and exercises for programming <font size=-1>XPCE/P</font>rolog
. The course-notes have a large overlap in contents with this user
guide, but the material is more concise. If you are familiar with
object-oriented systems, Prolog and graphical user interfaces the
course-notes might be a quick alternative to this user guide.
