ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Installation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
There is an installation program provided with this version. It will create a
directory and put all the file in that directory (and sub-directories). You
should make sure that the directory is in your libpath or that you have the
current directory specified in your libpath. If you are not familiar with this
terminology then you should try the program and if that does not work move the
file vrobj.dll in c:\os2\dll (where c: is the drive where OS/2 is installed).
If you ever wish to delete QadHTML you just have to erase the directory where
you have installed it. If you have moved the file vrobj.dll somewhere else
please delete it. Delete the program object vreated on your desktop and your
clean up will be perfect.
QadHTML does not modify anything in your config.sys or OS2*.INI. This program
is very easy to clean from your hard disk. That is why there is no uninstall
program with this version.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In this section you will have explanation on what does every menu in QadHTML.
Some menu are obvious but some other are more obscur. The pull down menus are:
File
Edit
Options...
Help
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1. File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In the File menu you will find:
New
Open...
Save as...
Save
1 to 5
Import
Preview
Exit
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1.1. New ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Under this sub-meu you will find a few options. The first sub-menu will always
be blank. This option will erase everything you have in the HTML window code.
You will have a blank file.
The 10 next sub-menus are files that you designated as templates. You can
change the order and their name by clicking on the options menu. When you click
on one of these sub-menus the HTML window code will be replaced by the content
of this template. If you have not saved the latest changes in the current file
you will be asked if you want to do so.
You can also click on the other sub-menu if you would like to load an other
file as a template.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1.2. Open... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This sub-menu will ask you for the name of the file to open. QadHTML will make
sure that the latest version of the file you are working on is saved. If it is
not the case QadHTML will prompt you to save the latest changes or to discard
them.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1.3. Save as... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This sub-menu is to save your HTML file under a new name or a new destination.
You can choose to replace an existing file or create a new one for the latest
version of your HTML file.
By default it will suggest you to save your file with an extension of *.HTM*.
You do not have to save your file with this extension but it is much easier to
recognize your file if you use that extension. If your hard disk is formated
with the FAT you will be able to use the *.HTM extension. If your hard disk is
formated with HPFS you can use the *.HTML extension (which is better).
By using the *.htm* extension you will allow QadHTML to be linked to your file.
You will be able to have the option to open that file with QadHTML.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1.4. Save ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This sub-menu will be available as soon as your file as a name. When you will
open an existing file or you already have used the Save as... sub-menu this one
will be enabled. You can use this sub-menu to avoid renaming your file. It is
much faster than using the Save as... sub-menu to replace your current file.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1.5. 1 to 5 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
These five sub-menu are FastLoad menus. You can configure them in the option
menu. This enables you to load you most used files faster. You do not need to
open the file by entering the path and the filename or by browsing with the
file open dialog. You tell FastLoad which file you want to be placed in these
sub-menus and you can load them fast without any typing.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1.6. Import ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This sub-menu will let you import any text file inside your current document.
It will only ask for the filename and then tries to insert it in the HTML
window code. No validation will be done.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1.7. Preview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This sub-menu allows you to use the Web Explorer as the preview tool. You can
see the result of your work before making your HTML file on the Internet.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1.8. Exit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This sub-menu will close QadHTML. It will ask you to save your file if you
changed something since the last save.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2. Edit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In the Edit menu you can find:
Undo
Copy
Cut
Paste
Search and replace
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.1. Undo ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option will undo the last action that you did in the HTML code window. As
soon as you change anything in the HTML window you eill not be able to undo the
previous change.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.2. Copy ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
When text is selected you can copy that text in the clipboard to paste it in an
other application or somewhere else in your HTML code.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.3. Cut ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
When text is selected and you cut it it will copy that selection in the
clipboard and destroy the original text. You can the paste it in an other
application or somewhere else in your HTML code.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.4. Paste ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
By pasting you will insert text in the HTML window. The text will be from the
clipboard. If the clipboard as something else than text it will not work. Only
text can be inserted in the HTML window.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.5. Search and replace ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This sub-menu will bring you a window where you can enter the text you want to
find and/or replace.
The first entry filed is asking you for the text that you want to find in the
HTML document that you have loaded. You can enter a string as long as you want
with spaces.
The second entry filed is optional. There you can specify the text that will
replace the text found according to the first entry field. If you leave that
entry field empty the system will be used to search only.
Then you have two options. The first one is to let the search engine start its
search from the beginning of the document. Otherwise (unchecked) the search
engine will start from where you are in the document. The second option will
make the find button act as if you pressed the find and replace button. It will
search the text and replce it immediately.
The four push button should be obvious to learn. The first one will start your
search or continue to find the text asked for. The second one (replace) is
enabled when the text is find and that you have some text in the replace entry
field. By clicking on the Replace push button you will cause the found text to
be replaced by the new one. The Replace all puch button will find and replace
all the occurences of the specified text. There will be no prompt for that
action. The Close push button is to close the window when the work is finished.
