- Voluntary Registration
- ----------------------
- Although I am releasing Araneae under the FREEWARE licence, a
- voluntary registration would be greatly appreciated. The
- registration fee is $20 US. Far less than commercial packages
- that attempt to take over your projects for you. :)
-
- This fee is completely voluntary, but please consider the
- amount of time and effort I spent into creating Araneae. I hate
- nag-screens and time limits, and assume that you do as well. So
- if you use Araneae please show your support and register at:

- Frequently Asked Questions
- --------------------------
- Q: How do I pronounce Araneae?
- A: (ar:Σ'nE:A) It rhymes with the words 'Iran, Knee, Clay' with
- emphasis on the first R.
-
- Q: What does Araneae mean?
- A: It's a classification of spiders (Order Araneae in the Class
- Arachnida). Web Page => Web => Spiders => Araneae. It makes
- sense to me, anyway.
-
- Q: How can I check for Araneae updates?
- A: Please join the Araneae mailing list. An email will be sent out
- each time a new version is released. Please visit the Araneae
- webpage for more information.
-
- Q: Why does Araneae need to create temporary HTML files?
- A: If the current document has not already been saved, it creates
- a temporary file that will be viewed with your default browser.
- This temporary file will be deleted when you quit Araneae, or
- you can delete them via the Tools menu. If your document was
- saved since its last changes, it is viewed in your default
- browser as-is.
-
- Q: How do I stop Araneae from asking me to pick a web-safe colour?
- A: Simply click the 'Remember this action' check box the next time
- you are asked.
-
- Q: Why doesn't the cursor jump to the end of a line when I click
- somewhere in the document?
- A: This is because the 'Insert Caret Anywhere' option is turned on.
- You can turn it off via the options screen.
-
- Q: How do I remove the line numbers?
- A: Simply uncheck the 'Show Gutter' option in the Options menu.
-
- Q: I have a suggestion for Araneae!
- A: Well, that's not a question. But feel free to send me your
- suggestion! My email address is: mark_m@v-wave.com
