1. What Is HotDog?
==================
HotDog is an HTML editor for Windows. It helps you maintain and create
documents for the World Wide Web. HotDog makes life simple for you by
providing quick access to tags and attributes and dialogs to help you
create complex elements. It also uses a Windows 95-style graphical
interface, even if you don't have Windows 95!
HotDog supports HTML 3 and Microsoft and NetScape revisions. Note that some
of the HTML 3 elements are not yet supported by major browsers. See
the help file for more details.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Contacting Us
================
We can be contacted at the following addresses:
http://www.sausage.com - our Web Site. This is the preferred source for all
information about HotDog, and for downloading the
software, patches, FAQs, etc.
sales@sausage.com - if you would like more information about HotDog
We are in the process of setting up a number of mailing lists and mirror
sites for HotDog. Please see our web site for more details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Installing HotDog Pro
========================
Just run the self-extracting installation program HDP2INST.EXE. Our setup
program will guide you through the installation process.
The first time you run HotDog, a Licensing Agreement will be displayed.
Please read this carefully before you start using the program. If you
consent to the terms, click the "I Agree" button to start HotDog.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. System Requirements
======================
We recommend a 486 with 8 Mb RAM as the minimum system for running HotDog.
It has run on less than that (even a 386DX25 with 4 Mb), but will be more
"dog" than "hot".
HotDog needs approximately 2 Mb of disk space.
You also need a suitable browser for viewing your HTML, for example NetScape
or one of the Mosaics.
HotDog has so far been run successfully on these platforms:
Windows for Workgroups 3.11
Windows 3.1
Windows NT 3.5 (Build 807) - Intel
Windows 95 beta
OS/2 Warp (Windows edition)
It has failed to run on:
SoftWindows (HotDog will only work with enhanced-mode Windows)
If you manage to run HotDog in another environment (e.g. SoftWindows, NT on
an Alpha) please let us know.

5. Known Problems
=================
* Spellchecker only works on first 32K of a document
--------------------------------------------------
* Installation Program may cause problems with some 256-color displays
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If this happens, the HotDog files are available from our web site in a
ZIP archive. You will need to Unzip and install these yourself.
* 3DWindows don't display properly with some video cards
------------------------------------------------------
The 3DWindows option should replace the standard window buttons with
small, gray, Win-95 style ones. Some video cards display these buttons
as dark blue or black, or gray but blank. If this happens we suggest you
disable the 3DWindows option.
* Positions of toolbars changes if hidden/reshown
-----------------------------------------------
If you turn the Button Bar and Element Bar off, then show them again,
they will appear in a different order (the Element bar will be on top).
The same thing happens with the Documents and Status bars. Restarting
HotDog will fix this.
We are investigating a fix for this bug.
* Documents bar cannot be scrolled when tabs go off the screen
------------------------------------------------------------
We're pursuing this with VideoSoft, the authors of our tab control.
* Inactive title bar text disappears
----------------------------------
This has been reported by some Windows 95 users. We have not been able
to reproduce this problem.
