Web Weaver is an editor-like program which facilitates the coding of HTML documents and pages for the World Wide Web. Toolbar buttons and dialog boxes make it easier to create the code that links your text and graphics to the rest of the world.
This program is SHAREWARE. That means that it costs $8 (U.S.) to register and use it rightfully. The user can evaluate this software for 21 days to determine its usefulness and whether or not to send payment to fund future development of this and other products. Distribute this unregistered version freely. This version (2.0b) is the "full" version of Web Weaver. It contains the following main features:
- Easy hypertext creation (linking text to URLs, images, sounds, etc.)
- Easy List creation (Bulleted, Numbered, Descriptive)
- Easy Address information creation.
- Helpful buttons for common tasks (bold, italics, headers, <P>, etc.)
BUT...
- Help files are not included (yet).
- Eventually I'd like to include a viewer so you can see what your coded document will look like. This will probably end up being a link to a browser.
- More HTML/NetScape features will be added in later versions.
INSTALLATION:
Put the file WEBWEV2b.EXE into any directory.
Put the files CMDIALOG.VBX, THREED.VBX, and VBRUN300.DLL into your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
Run WEBWEV2b.EXE from Windows and you are ready to go.
HOW TO REGISTER:
Open the file REGISTER.WRI in Windows Write and print out the registration form. Fill out the form and send it along with $8 (U.S.) made payable to Mark McConnell in the form of a check or money order to the address at the bottom of the form. The $8 fee will license ONE copy for use on ONE computer at any ONE time. Specify whether you wish me to email the program to you. It's much faster!
WHAT YOU'LL GET:
You will receive a full legal, registered copy of the software. If I have updated the program by the time I get your request then I will send you the most current version I have. I will mail it to the address noted on your registration form. Also, you will receive any subsequent versions or software updates, a license to use the software legally, help files, written documentation, and free technical support via email.
HELP:
IMPORTANT!!! When opening an existing HTML file that was downloaded from your UNIX system, the carriage returns may not be recognized. Be sure to download it/FTP it in ASCII form!
The program is relatively straightforward. Creating HTML elements is simple. For example, suppose you want to bold a certain word/phrase in the HTML document. Just select the word/phrase to be bolded with the cursor and click on the BOLD button. This will place the HTML bold symbols around the text you have selected:
<B>Text or phrase here.</B>
OR, you can begin by clicking the bold button. This will place both beginning and ending HTML bold symbols at the insertion point in the document and the cursor will be placed in between them so you can begin typing the phrase you wish to have bolded.
Most of the other formating commands work the same way.
Paragraph and Horizontal Rule commands place the respective HTML symbol on the screen and then perform a carriage return to the next line.
Inserting graphics and Hyperext are self explanatory.
Methods of inserting Anchors and Lists are explained on their respective dialog boxes.
