                            HTMLClient V1.0
                          -------------------


Introduction
-------------

    Starting from ProgED v2.3 release, you'll find, into the
ProgED distribution package, a client using a MUI interface. Its
aim is to help user to write his (her) HTML pages. This client
supply the same GUI of WebPlug because, now, it's the best
available on Amiga. I wrote this client because, by now, ProgED
is no more a programmers dedicated editor, as it was on previous
releases, but it is became a general purpose editor. Actually,
furthermore, many peoples need special editors, to help them
compiling their HTML pages (a simple but boring job). From all
this considerations the idea to write a user helping client was
born. I wrote this program using a MUI interface because this
has lowered developing time, but also because it was necessary a
functional interface different from the Triton or gadtools ones.
Last, the HTML creators are GUI exigents. The client was write
in a customizable way: it allows use of 3 pre-configure browsers
(IBrowse, AWeb & Voyager/Mindwalker) or use of a custom browser
specifing all needed informations about it. The client,
furthermore, automatically modify link and image names to adapt
them to the host where they will be copied. It's possible, using
a single mouse click, to "send" the actually edited page to the
browser (in case loading it, if it's not yet in memory) to see,
then, done changes in real time. Using a special ProgeD filetype
allows to automatically color all HTML 3.0 tags allowing you to
easily find them. A new client mode, introduced on purpose for
this client, allows to translate "on the fly" typed characters
(with an ascii code between 160 and 255) to the relative HTML
tag.


Installating & configurating
-----------------------------

     Installating and configurating the client is very easy. To be
simple I'll refer to the standard prefs supplied together ProgED 2.3.
Using those prefs the installation is not necessary, who is not using
them must insert the client in the ProgED clients list and use the
new internal commands (which are introduced by the client) in a
toolbar, key or a menu. You can configure the client using the
internal command HTML_PREFS or pressing the special button of the
HTML filetype toolbar. When the prefs window is opened you have only
to follow the MUI on line help to configure the client.



Distribution
-------------

     HTMLClient is, till now, distributed as GIFTWARE. It means that
anyone (who has a registered ProgED copy) can use it. The client user
can send me any "gift" to pay me. Even HTMLClient is and will be
Copyright by Giovanni Lambiase and, in future, I reserve any right on
it. In future, HTMLClient could be Public Domain (distributing it
separately by ProgED and, in case, suppling sources too) or Shareware
asking for a registration fee different from the ProgED one. Even
who will send me a "gift" will automatically be a registered user and
will get his (her) keyfile. Last, I can decide to stop client
development (right which I reserve about ProgED itself, too). Even if
HTMLClient is GIFTWARE it MUST NOT be distributed separately from
ProgED. This program can be used ONLY together ProgED and is, then,
necessary and obligatory to distribute them together. All ProgED
users who do not use this client must not, of course, send me a "gift".

You'll find more informations about me in ProgED docs.



Conclusion
-----------

    I wrote this client in 10 days and, them, I think not all ones
are happy about it; I only wanted to offer a bonus to all ProgED
registered users. Even are well-coming bug-reports and suggests.
It's preferable, of course, use e-mail to send me them. Regard
future, HTMLClient development will continue parallely together
ProgED till I find it useful.
