+This is a simple demo of the  HTTP server facilities, providing a simple
+body and the three documented server instantiations.
+
+---+ The server main programs are:
+
+	$ demo_threads.pl :
+	Run threaded server. Requires SWI-Prolog with thread-support.
+	The server is started at port 3000 using server/0.  server/2
+	allows to specify options. tm/0 provides a graphical display
+	of the runing threads.  See source-file.
+
+	$ demo_xpce.pl :
+	Run XPCE-based event-driven server.  Requires XPCE.  Use
+	?- server(3000). to start the server at port 3000.
+
+	$ demo_inetd :
+	To install this, adjust the first line of this file to point
+	to the installed Prolog executable and add the following line
+	to /etc/inetd.conf (adjust as needed):
+
+	4001 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/pl-5.1.4/library/http/demo/demo_inetd
+
+---+ Session management demo:
+
+	$ calc.pl :
+	Multi-threaded server with session management using the
+	html_write.pl library.  See source for usage.
+
+---+ File serving demo:
+
+	$ demo_files.pl :
+	Is a multi-threaded server that serves static files and
+	directory indices.
+
+---+ Client demo
+
+	$ demo_client.pl :
+	Simple multi-threaded client to test the server under
+	different conditions.  Requires SWI-Prolog with thread-support.
+	See source for usage.
+
+---+ Performance testing
+
+A very early start of some  routines   to  validate the server platform.
+Eventually, stress_server.pl will serve different   tests  from multiple
+locations  and  stress_client.pl  will  contain    client  code  to  run
+individual tests as well as doing multi-threaded tests.
+
+	$ stress_server.pl :
+	Server platform.
+
+	$ stress_client.pl :
+	Client.
