- PPD is an MSDOS program to allow users the ability to create World Wide Web
- pages without the need to understand HTML/HTML+ language conventions or the
- skills necessary for specialized HTML editors. PPD accepts special script
- files which are then processed by PPD for the interactive creation of a WWW
- page. The example PPD file (PHOME.PPD) included in this distribution allows
- a user to create a personal WWW page without any knowledge of HTML/HTML+ or
- tools other than his or her favorite MSDOS editor.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- PPD and all associated files should be installed in their own directory.
- Any fresh directory will do, however, "\PPD" is the most appropriate.
-
-
- Operation
- ---------
-
- PPD is run from the MSDOS command line with the name of a PPD script file as
- an argument. All PPD script files bear the extension .PPD and comprise the
- interactive operations experienced by the user. PPD script files support
- their own language appropriate to creating WWW pages. The details of the
- scripting language and how to create a PPD script file are available to
- registered users as discussed below. An astute user, however, should be
- able to create his/her own script files by examining the sample PHOME.PPD
- provided with this distribution.
-
- To run the sample script use: PPD PHOME and simply follow the instructions.
- PPD will create a personal WWW page based upon the user's input. Alternately,
- run the batch file PERSONAL provided. To view the sample HTML file before
- running PPD, use your favorite browser to view the page HOMEPAGE.HTM -- the
- provided sample includes several GIF files which will be automatically used
- when designing your own home page.
-
-
-
- The Power of PPD
- ----------------
-
- The power of PPD lies in its ability to interpret scripts for users. PPD
- scripts are simple ASCII files created with any text editor. With appropriate
- scripts, a user can create and modify WWW pages at will for a variety of
- purposes. There is no need for HTML/HTML+ knowledge if the script is
- constructed properly.
-
- The PPD script language is rich and evolving. Registered users will be
- provided with the PPD script command language by e-mail if they register the
- program. To register the program, please send $7.00 (U.S.), along with your
- e-mail address to:
-
- Satore Township
- P.O. Box 750836
- Petaluma, CA 94975-0836
-
- We will e-mail the PPD script command language reference to you.
-
- We hope you enjoy the Personal Page Designer.
