 platforms.
 
+Two backends are available:
+
+* A command-line ECMA-48 / ANSI X3.64 type terminal (tested on Linux +
+  xterm) via System.in and System.out.  Input/output is handled
+  through terminal escape sequences generated by the library itself:
+  ncurses is not required or linked to.  xterm mouse tracking using
+  UTF8 coordinates is supported.  This is the default backend.
+
+* Java Swing/AWT UI.  This backend can be selected by setting
+  jexer.AWT=true.
+
+A demo application showing the existing UI controls is available via
+'java -jar jexer.jar' or 'java -Djexer.AWT=true -jar jexer.jar' .
