An Introduction to the IMS Web Engine User Interface

"IMS Web Engine" is a new DHTML authoring application for Win95/98/NT. Its
applications range from the creation of standard Web Pages, Business
Presentations, Educational Presentations and Online Interactive Games.

"IMS Web Engine" is designed to create Web Pages that include complex event
driven animation with a simple drag and drop user interface. Features
include Inverse Mechanics and Artificial Behavior which means that motion
paths can be attached to motion path in a hierarchical fashion. Triggers can
be defined by more than simple Mouse and Timing Events and can include
amongst others: Object Intersection, Object Triggers, Advanced Counter
Triggers, Metamorph operations or Combinations based on Logical AND/OR
flags.

Other features include a TEXT, HTML and Rich Text editor that also supports
conversion between these formats and the ability to import/export these
formats from other popular text editors including MS Word. HTML can of
course be imported, manually edited and used without any modification by the
program.

In addition to creating motion paths the Vector/Polygon editor can be used
to create buttons and graphics with texture maps. "IMS Web Engine" supports
the import/export of several popular bitmap and audio formats include GIF,
JPEG, BMP, WAV and Midi.

The program can also be instructed to gather all files together into the
publish directory to substantially minimize the occurrence of missing
objects in the web page.
