About Agile ColorWeb
--------------------
Agile ColorWeb makes picking colors for web pages quick and easy, but more
importantly, it ensures that the colors you choose will display correctly
on a range of platforms and browsers.
The problem with colors on the web is that your carefully chosen colors
may display completely differently on someone else's machine. What is worse,
you won't even know about it.
Agile ColorWeb saves you this embarassment!
Main Features
* choice of 16 and 216 colour palettes or 24-bit colour values
* choose colours that will display properly on Windows and Mac
* works with any HTML editor, by reading and generating #rrggbb values
* instant exchange of colour values with the clipboard
* hexadecimal, decimal RGB value conversion
* supports Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51 and above
If you want more information about Agile ColorWeb, why it is needed and how
it can help you, take a look in the on-line help (which is in HTML format).

IMPORTANT NOTE
If you wish to store, copy, distribute or use the Agile ColorWeb
sofware, you must first read and agree to the terms and conditions

breach of copyright.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPWARE
--------
We are a small business based in Cambridge UK, dedicated to producing
software which is genuinely useful and works hard so that you don't
have to.
You will find that a lot of attention is paid to the user interface and
the finer details of how you want to operate in our software. This is
because every product has been produced for our own use, and so has had
vocal feedback from users since its conception.
We also want to hear what you think.
Compware started in 1983, selling peripherals and software, and realised
immediately that the only way to succeed in business is to identify what
people will find useful and concentrate all your efforts on maintaining
that position. From very early on, we started producing our own software,
so that we were able to design the products for users needs rather than
just pick the best from a not always so wonderful bunch.
HTML EDITING
We also produce an excellent HTML editor with more innovations in its user
interface than it is practical to describe here. If you aren't absolutely
100% satisfied with your current web authoring package then you really
should evaluate our "Agile HTML Editor". At least take a look at it on
our web site.
If nothing else, it has the features of Agile ColorWeb built in, so you
could save yourself the ColorWeb registration fee!
TELETEXT
In addition to the on-line world of the Web, we also specialise in software
which makes the most of the Teletext broadcasting system. If you use Teletext
and don't think that it works as well as it could, you need look no further
than our web pages (see CONTACT POINTS below). Take a look at the TvText
Teletext Viewer for the best Windows Teletext sofware available.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLATFORMS
---------
Agile ColorWeb runs under
- Microsoft Windows 95 (4.0 and above)
- Microsoft Windows NT (3.51 and above)
DISK SPACE
ColorWeb will take up to 1.5MB of disk space when installed, depending
on how many of the required system files are already present on your
system.
Approximately 3MB of space will be required during the installation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLING COLORWEB
-------------------
ColorWeb installs into "C:\Program Files\Agile ColorWeb", or an
alternative directory which you may specify. It may also install
some additional files into your Windows directories if they are not
already present.
During installation, ColorWeb records details of all files and other
changes made to your system, such as registy entries, and provides
an uninstall program so that the entire installation can be removed
easily.
Installing ColorWeb is simple, but the precise details depend on the
form in which you have obtained it. ColorWeb can be obtained on disk,
in partially compressed form, or downloaded in a compressed .ZIP
archive file.
FLOPPY DISK
The disk version is ready for installation immediately. Start
Windows and then run "setup.exe" directly from the disk. Now
see "AFTER INSTALLATION" below.
ZIP ARCHIVE
If you download the software you will receive it in a .ZIP archive
file which must be extracted before you can install ColorWeb You must
extract the software from the archive into a temporary directory,
using a program such as PKUNZIP (for DOS) or WinZip (for Windows).
It is beyond the scope of this document to explain how to use
these (or other archive extraction programs), so please refer to
the documentation for the particular archive extraction program
you have available.
Having extracted the files into a temporary directory, you can now
run "setup.exe". Now see "AFTER INSTALLATION" below.
AFTER INSTALLATION
The installation program creates items on the Start Menu for starting
ColorWeb and accessing help and readme files.
UNINSTALLING COLORWEB
To remove an installation of ColorWeb:
1) Open Control Panel from the Start Menu using the "Settings" sub menu.
2) Choose "Add/Remove Software" which will open a properties dialog.
3) Choose "Agile ColorWeb" within the dialog.
IMPORTANT
Before you forget, please make a backup copy of the ColorWeb
installation files. If you don't, you are bound to need it!
