Compiler Options

The compiler options dialog box is presented immediately before the compile takes place, and gives you the opportunity to specify a number of parameters that will influence the way the compiled executable operates.

Web Caption

Determines what will appear on the caption when the compiled executable is run.

Mail Server

Specifies the Internet SMTP capable mail-server that the compiled .exe will use to send back the results from submitted forms that have an "Action" parameter of the form EMAIL?email.address@somewhere. See the Processing Forms topic for more information.

Controls

• Copy Enabled
  
  • Determines whether the user can copy the text of pages to the clipboard. The "Copy" menu item is not present if this is not selected.
• Print Enabled
  
  • Determines whether the user can print pages out. The "Print" and "Print Setup" menu items are not present if this is not selected.
• Print All Enabled.
  
  • Determines if the user can print multiple pages (determined by the Web author - see the Printing All Embedded Topics topic).
• Presentation Style Locked
  
  • Determines whether the user can change the fonts and colors used by the final executable. The font and color selection menu items in the "View" menu will not be present if this option is not selected.

Initial Window

• Normal
  
  • InfoCourier starts with a screen size and position determined by Windows.
• Maximized
  
  • InfoCourier starts maximized.
• Clean Screen Mode
  
  • InfoCourier will occupy the whole screen. There will be no menu, toolbar or status bar, and therefore no mechanism for the user to navigate your presentation other than the links you provide. The user will also not be able to terminate InfoCourier (other than Ctrl+Alt+Del) unless you provide a link that contains <A HREF="#ICEXIT">Exit</A> (the #ICEXIT must be in uppercase, and this only works in a compiled executable in Clean Screen Mode).

Expiry Options

Allows you to specify a date after which the compiled executable will just give a message saying the information is out of date. This option is designed for use for things such as price lists or standards documentation or similar information that is date sensitive. Be careful if you use this option for products which you distribute widely on public services such as public FTP servers etc. People who download a large file expecting to see valuable information will not be pleased to find it expired!
