+The Qt Declarative module provides the ability to specify and implement
+your user interface declaratively, using the Qt Meta-Object Language (QML). This
+language is very expressive and human readable, and can be used by
+designers to actually implement their UI vision. QML UIs can integrate
+with C++ code in many ways, including being loaded as a part of a C++ UI
+and loading data models from C++ and interacting with them.
+
+The example launcher provided with Qt can be used to explore each of the
+examples in this directory. But most can also be viewed directly with the
+QML viewer utility, without requiring compilation.
+
+Documentation for these examples can be found via the Tutorials and Examples
+link in the main Qt documentation.
+
+
+Finding the Qt Examples and Demos launcher
+==========================================
+
+On Windows:
+
+The launcher can be accessed via the Windows Start menu. Select the menu
+entry entitled "Qt Examples and Demos" entry in the submenu containing
+the Qt tools.
+
+On Mac OS X:
+
+For the binary distribution, the qtdemo executable is installed in the
+/Developer/Applications/Qt directory. For the source distribution, it is
+installed alongside the other Qt tools on the path specified when Qt is
+configured.
+
+On Unix/Linux:
+
+The qtdemo executable is installed alongside the other Qt tools on the path
+specified when Qt is configured.
+
+On all platforms:
+
+The source code for the launcher can be found in the demos/qtdemo directory
+in the Qt package. This example is built at the same time as the Qt libraries,
+tools, examples, and demonstrations.
