PPD is an MSDOS program to allow users the ability to create World Wide Web
pages without the need to understand HTML/HTML+ language conventions or the
skills necessary for specialized HTML editors. PPD accepts special script
files which are then processed by PPD for the interactive creation of a WWW
page. The example PPD file (PHOME.PPD) included in this distribution allows
a user to create a personal WWW page without any knowledge of HTML/HTML+ or
tools other than his or her favorite MSDOS editor.
Installation
------------
PPD and all associated files should be installed in their own directory.
Any fresh directory will do, however, "\PPD" is the most appropriate.
Operation
---------
PPD is run from the MSDOS command line with the name of a PPD script file as
an argument. All PPD script files bear the extension .PPD and comprise the
interactive operations experienced by the user. PPD script files support
their own language appropriate to creating WWW pages. The details of the
scripting language and how to create a PPD script file are available to
registered users as discussed below. An astute user, however, should be
able to create his/her own script files by examining the sample PHOME.PPD
provided with this distribution.
To run the sample script use: PPD PHOME and simply follow the instructions.
PPD will create a personal WWW page based upon the user's input. Alternately,
run the batch file PERSONAL provided. To view the sample HTML file before
running PPD, use your favorite browser to view the page HOMEPAGE.HTM -- the
provided sample includes several GIF files which will be automatically used
when designing your own home page.
The Power of PPD
----------------
The power of PPD lies in its ability to interpret scripts for users. PPD
scripts are simple ASCII files created with any text editor. With appropriate
scripts, a user can create and modify WWW pages at will for a variety of
purposes. There is no need for HTML/HTML+ knowledge if the script is
constructed properly.
The PPD script language is rich and evolving. Registered users will be
provided with the PPD script command language by e-mail if they register the
program. To register the program, please send $7.00 (U.S.), along with your
e-mail address to:
Satore Township
P.O. Box 750836
Petaluma, CA 94975-0836
We will e-mail the PPD script command language reference to you.
We hope you enjoy the Personal Page Designer.
