I suggest that you do not drop the .HTM files you drag from the
Web Explorer on the desktop. Instead, open a file folder and use it
as the destination for the Web pages you drag from the Web Explorer.
I have the working directory in the PMStripper program object set to
the same directory where the .HTM files are dropped.
If you used the install program to install PMStripper, the file
associations have been set to .HTM and .HTML. This means that you
do not need to keep the program object on the desktop to be able to
double click on a .HTM or HTML file and load it into PMStripper.
Install PMStripper as the HTML source viewer in the Web Explorer
instead of the OS/2 system editor E, and you can use the Ctrl+V
keystroke combination to load the Web page source directectly into
PMStripper. This will eliminate the need to save the Web Page to disk
before using PMStripper.
When installed as the HTML source viewer, PMStripper will look in the
Web Explorer working directory to see if the PMSTRIP.INI file exists
before checking the environment variable.
When PMStripper is installed as the HTML source code viewer, PMStripper
displays characters from the codepage 850 character set when it is
launched from Web Explorer. If your default codepage is 850, this is
normal. For those users whose default codepage is 437, saving a stripped
file may result in unexpected characters in the stripped text. Evidently,
Web Explorer sets the codepage to 850 and any application started by it
inherits that codepage setting instead of the default codepage.
You can also install PMStripper as the document source viewer in
Netscape and load the web page into PMStripper without saving the
web page to disk. Due to the way Netscape handles frames, this
method may not work with web pages with frames. See the file
viewer.txt for instructions for using PMStripper with Netscape 4.xx.
PMStripper may be used on email messages that have embedded HTML codes.
PMStripper may also be used to translate word processor codes in usenet
messages. The 'Translate quotes' option must be set for this to work.
Due to a problem with the IBM Open Class Library and the way PMStipper
was designed, using drag and drop to select a new font for the main
window may not work correctly. The font is changed, but the incorrect
font size may be saved when the user selects "Save Settings". The correct
font information is saved when the 'Font' option from the menu is used
to select a new font. This problem only effects the main window, the
menubar and information area font selection must be made with
drag and drop.
