- HMView is a full off-line HTML document viewer. It is very useful
- for authors of HTML documents who wish to distribute their pages
- on diskette or any other off-line medium, and likewise for CD-ROM
- publishers and publishing houses who require distributing information
- in digital format.
- <P>
- This software is designed for distributing electronic documents
- under Windows environment using the HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
- format employed in Internet.
- <P>
- The documents written in this format can be distributed either
- on diskette or compact disk using <B>HMView 1.0</B> or through
- <B>Internet</B> on the <B>World Wide Web</B>.
- <P>
- To create these you can employ any of the many shareware and freeware
- HTML editors available on the market, or one of the existing
- templates for Word for Windows, which allows exporting text in
- HTML format. This hypertext viewer supports the HTML 3.0 specification.
- It is not prepared for communications through Internet but for
- off-line document browsing.
- <P>
- This program is distributed under the shareware standard and its
- only limitation is the appearance every 4 minutes, and for 30
- seconds, of the registration window. This interrupts the viewing
- of the HTML document being displayed at the moment (<A HREF="#Registration">Registering the shareware version</A>).
- <P>
- The size of HMView is very small (about 700K, including ILIB31HT.DLL)
- and only requires a PC with Windows 3.x or Windows 95 to run.
- <P>
- <B>HMView</B> allows you to open <B>big HTML files</B> (try it!).
- <P>
- The registered user can distribute HMView (royalties free!) together with your
- HTML pages using just one single diskette.

- <UL>
- <LI>In the <B>HMView</B> directory is a HTML file with useful
- examples you can use as a starting point to create your first
- pages. Use the File/Open command for viewing, its name is EXAMPLES.HTM.
- <LI>You can customize the HMView Help by incorporating a file with the name "HELP.HTM", which
- will open in place of this help page (this option is only available
- with <B>HMView</B> registered version).
- <LI>All hypertext links must be relative because you can never
- know from which letter of the unit the program will be executed.<br>
- i.e., "C:\midirec\page 1.htm" has only one absolute
- address, and it will not work if the directory is located in any
- other unit other than C:. On the other hand "midirec\page
- 1.htm" or "page 1.htm" are relative addresses,
- that can work from any disk unit.
- <LI>You can also use links to open programs. Just make the link
- target the name of the program (adding any parameters, such as
- the name of the file, for example). Example <A HREF="notepad.exe
- readme.txt">Open the file readme with the Windows Notepad
- </A>.
- <LI>The program is bilingual, this version supports English and
- Spanish (the language is set through the <B>Edit/Settings Panel</B>
- command).
- <LI>You can specify one page for it to open automatically on start
- up. Use the <B>Edit/Settings Panel</B> command to do so.<BR>
- <B>IMPORTANT</B>: The Start Page must be in the same directory
- as <B>HMView</B>.
- <LI>To avoid users changing the specified Start Page you must
- add the SETTING OFF option to the BERSOFT.INI file (you can edit
- it using the Windows Notepad or any other ASCII editor):<BR>
- <pre> [SETTINGS]
- OFF</pre>
- This option controls the viewing of the <B>Settings Panel</B>
- in the <B>Edit</B> menu. When this command is not available the
- user can not modify the specified Start Page or selected language
- of <B>HMView</B>.<BR>
- The SETTINGS option is ON by default.
- <LI>Another option that can be added manually to the BERSOFT.INI
- file is:<br>
- <pre> [EDIT_DOCU]</pre>
- This option controls the viewing of the <B>Edit This Page</B>
- command in the <B>Edit</B> menu. The options are either ON or
- OFF.
