- v2.3, Feb 4th 1999
-
- Shareware by Steve Litchfield
-
- What's new for v2.3 (since v2.2)?
- ---------------------------------
- Bug fixed: "OPL IO System error 2" now sorted out on "File open";
- Bug fixed: Control-left/right near start and end of file now handled properly;
- Bug fixed: pressing Escape while text selected now works properly;
- Help and examples added to enable custom clip-text to also be used within the Tags system;
-
- Installation
- ------------
- If you unzipped HTMLEdit OK, you should have ended up with
- 3 separate files. One will be this text file 8-)
-
- The other two are SIS files.
-
- (Experts)
- If you know what a .SIS file is, just double-click on each one in Win95 Explorer
- or tap on it on the Series 5 and you'll be installed in no time.
- Note that if you've already installed the "sysram1.sis" upgrade, you don't need
- to do so again. The "htmledit.sis" is the program itself and must be installed.
-
- (Beginners)
- If you *don't* know what a .SIS file is, this must be one of the very first
- third party applications you've ever installed. Don't worry, it's all quite
- painless:
-
- IF you have PsiWin 2.1 or above, just double-click on the "htmledit.sis"
- file to launch EPOC Install on the PC and to complete the installation.
- If you haven't yet upgraded your Series 5 with the special "sysram1" OPX,
- you'll need to double-click on "sysram1.sis" as well.
-
- IF you have the 'older' PsiWin 2.01 or if you've downloaded HTMLEdit directly
- onto the Psion 5, the best way to proceed is to copy the "htmledit.sis" file into a
- suitable place on your Psion. If the file appears on the system screen
- with a question mark beside it, this just means you haven't yet upgraded your
- Series 5 to accept EPOC install files. Grab a copy of the special INSTEXE.EXE
- program from the same place as you obtained HTMLEdit and tap on it on your Psion.
- You should now see a nice little icon beside the "htmledit.sis" file and can tap
- on it to complete your installation. *Repeat* the process for "sysram1.sis" if you
- haven't already done so, as this extra file contains the magic ingredient needed to
- make HTMLEdit work.
-
- If all went well, you should now have a new "HTMLEdit" icon on your
- Extras bar.

- Expert troubleshooting
- ----------------------
- [For the technically minded, after installation:
- 1) the HTMLEdit program files should exist in \system\apps\htmledit
- 2) the sysram1.opx file should exist in \system\opx
- 3) the vwin.opo and colorpick.opo files should exist in \system\opl
- 4) the tag libraries should live in \system\apps\htmledit\libs

- Thanks, credits and notes:
- ==========================
-
- 1) Thanks to Richard Panton for his virtual window library vwin.opo and for various
- users, including George Cooke, for their feedback and help. And thanks, of course,
- to Russ Spooner for starting the whole project off in such fine style.
-
- 2) OPL32 was never really intended to use ascii as its document base...
- We have found this out the hard way. Occasionally you will find that Html files
- imported from other editors may contain stray characters (usually invisible to
- the naked eye) - these can cause HTMLEdit to misbehave... you have been warned.
-
- 3) Don't try to use really tiny files (less than 16 characters)
-
- 4) Very occasionally you might lose the cursor, or it will appear that HTMLEdit is
- editing the wrong line. To fix this, first try hitting "End" then "Home";
- failing this, try Control-Home. This will reset the cursor position.
