- Hi folks!
-
-
- General comments:
- ═════════════════
-
- The last year or so I've had many reactions regarding VDAT, almost all of them
- positive. Apparently it has been useful for others too.
-
- Ever since I put up a Webpage I've had many comments on my collections in
- general and I'd like to thank those that have contributed to my collection
- and those that provided information for use in VDAT.

- VDAT/DOS:
- ═════════
-
- VDAT for DOS has been discontinued. I found it impossible to keep both
- versions up-to-date within my available spare time (Yes, it is still a hobby).
-
- I know some of you DOS gurus are going to be disappointed but since the HTML
- version is easier to convert to a subsequent 'online' version this was the
- way to go.
-
- VDAT/HTML:
- ══════════
-
- In this archive you'll find the sixth release of the Windows (HTML) version
- of VDAT.
-
- This release is a so called 'stand alone' version and does not require a
- Web/HTML browser.
-
- The browser allows many user inputs to change the page layout. Additionally
- it will allow defining a default Web browser so that any HTTP links will work
- using the selected browser.
-
- It was developed and optimized for a 800x600 screen size but should work
- perfect in other resolutions, font sizes can be changed to optimize the
- layout..
-
- The optimum result is with the following page layout (menu):
-
- View - Proportional Font - Arial or Verdana (Regular/13)
- View - Fixed Font - Lucida Console (Regular/13)
- Screen size: 800x600
-
- Nice-to-know features of the shell:
- ═══════════════════════════════════
-
- - Option of multiple open windows (starting a new copy by 'New Window')
- - 'Find' function
- - Redefinable link, text and background colors (not recommended, why?:
- Because I would have given it another color if I thought it worked better)
- - Single (HTML) page print option
- - Resizable windows, resizable/changable fonts
- - Scroll down page history
- - Definable Web Browser (for external sites)
- - Selectable 'Toolbar' and 'Status Bar'
-
- I would appreciate any inputs or comments that would result in a better
- product next time.
