Web Weaver 4.0c Full Unregistered version
Copyright 1995 by Mark McConnell
----------------------------------
Web Weaver is an editor-like program which facilitates the coding of HTML
documents and pages for the World Wide Web. Toolbar buttons and dialog
boxes make it easier to create the code that links your text and graphics
to the rest of the world.
This program is SHAREWARE. That means that it costs $10 (U.S.) (that's $8
for the program plus $2 Shipping & Handling only if I must U.S. mail the
program to you) to register and use it rightfully. The user can evaluate
this software for 21 days to determine its usefulness and whether or not to
send payment to fund future development of this and other products. Distribute
this unregistered version freely. This version (4.0c) is the "full" version
of Web Weaver.
It contains the following main features:
- Easy hypertext creation (linking text to URLs, images, sounds, etc.)
- Easy inline image creation (linkable to external images, URLs, etc.)
- Easy Anchor creation
- Easy List creation (Bulleted, Numbered, Descriptive)
- Easy Address information creation.
- Helpful buttons for common tasks (bold, italics, headings, <P>, etc.)
- Linking to web browsers
- Utility to strip HTML code from your document nd save the text as
another file
BUT...
- A screen reminding you to register appears in the beginning (not in the
REGISTERED version).
- Extended Help files are not included (Only registered version).
- More HTML features will be added in later versions.
- Multiple document editing will be available in a later (Registered)
version .
- User defined toolbar will be in a later (Registered) version.
INSTALLATION:
Put the files WEBWEV4c.EXE, WEBWEV.HLP and WEBWEV.INI into any
directory.
Put the files CMDIALOG.VBX, THREED.VBX, and VBRUN300.DLL into your
WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
Run WEBWEV4c.EXE from Windows and you are ready to go.
(You may have to alter the ini file to link to your browser
correctly).

HOW TO REGISTER:
TO RECEIVE WEB WEAVER BY U.S. MAIL:
Open the file REGISTER.WRI in Windows Write and print out the
registration form. Fill out the form and send it along with
$10 (U.S.) made payable to Mark McConnell in the form of a check or
money order to the address at the bottom of the form. The $10 fee
will license ONE copy for use on ONE computer at any ONE time.
(I can only send only one update to you if you want me to send it
by US mail because of the postal costs).
TO RECEIVE WEB WEAVER BY EMAIL:
Follow the instructions above but only send $8 since I won't have to
deal with shipping & handling costs. I will supply you with
continuous updates because it costs nothing to email it to you. Be
sure to specify whether you wish me to email the program to
you. It's also much faster!
WHAT YOU'LL GET:
You will receive a full legal, registered copy of the software.
If I have updated the program by the time I get your request then
I will send you the most current version I have. I will mail it to
the address noted on your registration form. You will also receive
a license to use the software legally, help files, and free
technical support via email.
Also, those who use email to receive their copies will receive any
subsequent versions or software updates.
HELP:
IMPORTANT!!! When opening an existing HTML file that was downloaded
from your UNIX system, the carriage returns may not be recognized.
Be sure to download/FTP it in ASCII format!
Also, if the program doesn't load in your file then there may be a
control character at the end of it. Open the file in Notepad,
delete the control character, and save it. Then open it in Web
Weaver.
The program is relatively straightforward. Creating HTML elements is simple.
For example, suppose you want to bold a certain word/phrase in the HTML
document. Just select the word/phrase to be bolded with the cursor and click
on the BOLD button. This will place the HTML bold symbols around the text
you have selected:
<B>Text or phrase here.</B>
OR, you can begin by clicking the bold button. This will place both beginning
and ending HTML bold symbols at the insertion point in the document and the
cursor will be placed in between them so you can begin typing the phrase you
wish to have bolded.
Most of the other formating commands work the same way.
Paragraph and Horizontal Rule commands place the respective HTML symbol on the
screen and then perform a carriage return to the next line.
Inserting graphics and Hyperext are self explanatory.
Methods of inserting Anchors and Lists are explained on their respective
dialog boxes.
Cut/Copy/Paste are standard.
VIEWING
Viewing documents is an easy click of a button when you specify your browser's path,
filename, and caption title in the WEBWEV.INI file. A good viewer to use is
SLIPKNOT available at the FTP site oak.oakland.edu in the SimTel/win3/internet
directory as slnot110.zip You don't need to be connected to an outside source with
this application. It can be used as just a viewer.
