HTMLview is a program that lets you view HTML pages.
HTMLview is a faster way of viewing HTML and URL:s than WebExplorer. It does
many but not all of the things that WebExplorer does and works both on- and
off-line. If you are used to work with WebExplorer you will soon be used to
work with HTMLview.
HTMLview is not designed to be used online, some things work some dont.
NOTE: THIS IS AN EARLY BETA VERSION. IT MAY NOT FUNCTION AS THOUGHT.
To start HTMLview:
------------------
Start the program HV.EXE or start the WPS program reference (outlined
below). You may put this program (its program reference, not the .EXE file)
in the startup folder if you wish.
You may enter a URL as parameter to the program. Please note that .HTML files
MUST be prefixed with file:/// (small letters) and URL:s must be prefixed
with http://.
NOTE: HV.EXE will put a .INI file in the directory where it is placed.
The file will be found even if start HTMLview from another directory.
(Name of the inifile is HV.INI).
NOTE: If you are unhappy with the name of the .EXE or the .INI file you may
rename the .EXE to another name (ex. HTMLVIEW.EXE). Upon starting this
"new" .EXE file a new .INI file will be created with the same name as
the .EXE file (HTMLVIEW.EXE gives HTMLVIEW.INI).
NOTE: Users of earlier versions of HTMLview should remove any old .INI files !

Gives product information (version, copyright)
And shows installed version of WebExplorer DLL.
Note: To save a URL object drag it to the desktop (or any folder) with
the right mouse button pressed. If you wish to save the URL as
a HTML file instead drag with the Ctrl pressed.
Button bar:
-----------
The buttonbar contains eight button that mimics (selects) specific menu
items in the pulldown menu. They gray out when the function they represent
is not availible. They are (from left to right):
Navigate -> Previous
Navigate -> Next
File -> Open file
File -> Save as
File -> Print document
Navigate -> Latest URL:s
Navigate -> Home page
Help -> Product Information
Status bar:
-----------
The statusbar gives information on the loading of the URL:s and the name
of the URL currently under the mouse pointer.
When printing the statusbar show a static text and the HTML windows is
disabled. This is to prevent errors in printing.
About the files:
----------------
The main file (HV.EXE) creates a .INI file with its current settings in
the same directory as as the .EXE file. This .INI file is NOT dependent
of the drive/directory and can easily be transfered with the .EXE file to
any drive/directory.
NOTE: If you are unhappy with the name of the .EXE or the .INI file you may
rename the .EXE to another name (ex. HTMLVIEW.EXE). Upon starting this
"new" .EXE file a new .INI file will be created with the same name as
the .EXE file (HTMLVIEW.EXE gives HTMLVIEW.INI).
HTMLview requires IBM OS/2 Warp or later.
HTMLview also requires WebExplorer 1.03 or later (and TCPIP for online work)
HTMLview has been tested with OS/2 Warp Connect and WebExplorer 1.1B.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation instructions:
- Copy the file to a directory of your choice.
- Create desktop icons with program references for HV.EXE.
DO NOT drag the icons representing the executables from the file system
(Drives window).
- If you would like you can create several program references with
different URL:s as parameters. Many copies of HTMLview may run
at the same time
De-installation instructions:
- Delete both program reference icons and all files.
