  The discriptions in the archive are written by RDS and do
  not accurately describe many of the zip files in the
  archive.

     The zip file contains 3 demos.
     It contains a utility to use window's resources.
     It also contains 5 text files that explain how to use things.

    The library is shrouded because I did not want it to become
    so extremely modified so that it is difficult to maintain.
    The library allows anyone to extended it without having
    to be bothered by the internal working mechanisms.

   If I didn't want to share it it wouldn't be in the archive.

   I placed other code in the archive that is not shrouded.
