+# ObjectIO examples
+
+[ObjectIO][objectio] is a [Clean][clean] library "to create Clean programs that have a Graphical User Interface (GUI)". There is [a tutorial][objectio_tut] available. Unfortunately, support is limited to Windows and Mac for the moment. In the [complete sources of Clean 2.4][clean_download], however, a start has been made to support Linux as well using [GTK+ 2][gtk2]. The code in that download is buggy and unusable, especially on 64 bit systems.
+
+That linux library was very buggy. The [camilstaps/ObjectIO][my_objectio] repository is an attempt to fix that library. This repository contains example programs, most of which are from [the tutorial][objectio_tut].
+
+# Legal
+
+The ObjectIO library and the example programs from [the tutorial][objectio_tut] are subject to the [Clean License Conditions][clean_license], which means they are available under the LGPL and a commercial license.
