8. HOW TO REGISTER
1. SHORT DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM
----------------------------
+ Learn about the powerful, flexible, and ever-growing syntax
of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), the language of the
World Wide Web.
+ Learn what you need to make a handsome web page, incorporating
multimedia, user-interactivity, graphics, and color.
+ If you can strike keys on your keyboard, you can learn HTML, and
this program shows you the basics in a very easy-to-understand
way.
2. LONG DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM
----------------------------
This is a widely updated, very easy to use and complete text and
graphics-based tutorial which helps the beginner learn the fun and
exciting world of HTML: the markup language that is used to make
home pages on the World Wide Web. The tutorial covers all the
essential basics to format text and paragraphs, use different font
sizes, make lists, use color and graphics, different layouts, and
has whole sections on design considerations, file management, and
UNIX file conventions. Perfect for the small business or home user
alike, this evaluation version has everything you need to get
started and learn the essentials.
The registered version of this program is the most complete tutorial
currently available as shareware in electronic format. It contains
75 files of Web graphics, 10 animations, and has well over twice the
HTML information and source code to incorporate in Web pages than
the shareware version, including the HTML 2.0, HTML 3.0 Microsoft's
and Netscape's code extensions to help the user take full advantage
of the Web's power with extensive alignment, fill-in forms
processing, intricate color control, advanced tables and complex
frames, and full interactive multimedia. Additional provisions are
two utility programs, free support, info and documentation on Java
scripting & applets, more graphic examples in the program, and a
complete set of explanatory source code and plenty of "tricks" with
HTML! See the WHATSNEW.TXT file for the details of this new version.
3. INSTALLING AND RUNNING FROM DOS
-------------------------------
>>> If you are installing this program from DOS,
just type INSTALL and press the ENTER key,
then type START or HTML to begin the program
from within the directory you chose to place the files.
4. INSTALLING AND RUNNING FROM WINDOWS 3.1
---------------------------------------
>>> If you are installing this program from WINDOWS 3.1
simply double-click on the INSTALL.EXE file located in this
archive, or choose RUN from the Program Manager's FILE menu
and select INSTALL.EXE from the drive and directory where
this file is located.
The program itself runs in DOS, but will shell out appropriately,
install the program files where you want, and create an icon in
the Program Manager for you. Make sure you are using the native
Win 3.1 Program Manager as your shell, or the install utility
may not function properly.
5. INSTALLING THIS PROGRAM FROM WINDOWS '95
----------------------------------------
>>> If you are installing this program from WINDOWS '95
-simply click on the INSTALL.EXE file located in this archive,
or choose RUN from the Start Menu and use the BROWSE button
to locate the INSTALL.EXE file.
The program itself runs in DOS, but will shell out appropriately,
install the program files where you want, and create an icon in
the Start Menu for you.
NOTE: when the program first installs and extracts the program
files, it will do so in a DOS window, and does not automatically
close.
This is the default for Win '95. Close it yourself when it
completes with the X in the upper right-hand corner of the
window. After that, the program will begin to run in another
DOS window. Enlarge the window, and use your down arrow to
choose EXIT THIS PROGRAM from the main menu.
Then, once the icon is created in the Start Menu, click the
icon to highlight it, and edit the PROPERTIES. Doing this
procedure in Windows '95 will allow you to choose the program
from the Start Menu and have it shell out full-screen in DOS.
Here's how----->
To get to the icon's Properties:
Once the icon is colorized (selected), you can either
1. Hold down the ALT key and press the ENTER key
2. Hold down the ALT key and double-left-click with
your mouse
3. Right-click and choose the last item, PROPERTIES.
Now, edit the properties as follows:
1. Click the PROGRAM tab, and at the bottom, select
"CLOSE ON EXIT" That way when you end the program,
it will hop right back into Windows and close itself.
2. Select "MAXIMIZED" from the RUN selection box.
3. Now click the SCREEN tab, and select "FULL SCREEN"
changing these minor elements in this program and in
many others will simplify running under Win '95
[If you are using an alternate shell such as Norton Navigator,
Dashboard, or other replacement, the install program may not
work. In that event, revert to the native '95 shell and try again]
