Installing HTML Notepad V2.2 for Windows 95

If you are using Windows 3.1 and are reading this you have the wrong version.
Please go and search for htmln295.zip it will definitely be at;
http://www.cranial.com/software/htmlnote

HTML Notepad does not have an install program as this would be larger than 
the main code.  It is relatively simplistic and does not write files all over 
your hard disk.  It also does not affect Windows in any way ( by adding info
to the system registry for example).  Below are some steps to installing 
HTMLn2, making it a Send To.. option in Explorer, making it the default html editor
 and removing it.

INSTALLATION

(For downloaded version)
1.  Use pkunzip -d to unzip all the files in the directory you would like them
       installed ( the -d is necessary as there are some directories which 
       need to be created.)  WinZip can also do this.

(For floppy disk version)
1.  Copy all files from the disk into a directory (apart from /software).

2.  From Windows 95 go to the Start toolbar and right click on the toolbar 
       itself.   Select the properties section of the Window and then the 
       Start Menu Programs tabbed control.   After this click add and you 
       will be given a Program Wizard which will allow to you browse for the 
       executable. Place it in the folder of your choice and select a name.

3.  You can also make HTMLn2 a shortcut on the Window by right clicking on 
       the background and selecting New|Shortcut then follow the instructions
       as in 2.

SENDTO

If you would like to run HTML Notepad when you right click on a HTML file.
(Warning this will always give you the DOS 8:3 version of the name.  We have no
 idea why and would love to hear how to get around this.) 

1.  Start Explorer.  Find the directory underneath windows called SendTo.
       (c:\windows\SendTo on most systems)

2.  Right click on the file section of Explorer and select New|Shortcut and 
       then browse for the HTML file executable.

3.  Test your setup by right clicking on a HTML file and selecting the 
       SendTo|HtmlNote option.  Nice, huh.

DEFAULT HTML EDITOR

1. From any Explorer window, choose View|Options and then File Types tab. 

2. Scroll down the list of registered extensions until you come to HTML Document
(or whatever it's called on your system). 

3. Click Edit and then in the dialog that opens up choose the New button.  

4. Call the new action Edit.  In the next space, type the pathname of HTML Notepad.  

5.Click OK until you're out of the boxes.  

6. Then go to the folder that contains your HTML files.  Right click on
one and choose Edit.  HTML Notepad opens up.  (If you put a shortcut in the
SendTo folder, you can delete it now.)

REMOVING

Removing HTML.  This will of course never happen but just in case.

1.  Just delete all the files in the directory and also delete any folder or
        shortcuts made.  You cannot affect Windows by deleting htmln2.
