- Welcome to SoftQuad HoTMetaL, a freely distributed professional SGML editor
- especially for HTML files.
-
- This distribution is for Microsoft Windows 3.1; it will not run without
- Microsoft Windows. You will need about 5 Megabytes of free disk space on
- your hard drive.
-
- SoftQuad HoTMetaL has been made available by SoftQuad Inc., and is not
- a product of NCSA. This is an unsupported product of SoftQuad Inc. -- please
- see the copyright file (copyright.txt) for more information.
-
- Please contact SoftQuad Inc directly with any questions, for example
- about upgrading to HoTMetaL Pro; please do not contact the NCSA. Thank you.

-
- INSTALLATION In Ten Easy Steps
- ==============================
-
- PLEASE follow all the steps carefully.
-
-
- [1] The Fine Print
-
- The COPYRIGHT file (copyright.txt) contains details about terms of use and
- redistributions.
- >> Please read this file now.
-
- Thank you.
-
-
- [2] The Difficult Decision
-
- You will need to choose somewhere to install SoftQuad HoTMetaL.
- A directory called "hotmetal" will be created, but you can put that
- directory anywhere you like.
-
- You will need approximately 5 Megabytes of disk space.
- We'll assume that you chose C:\HOTMETAL, but you can put it anywhere.
-
-
- [3] Unpacking the distribution (if you haven't already done so)
-
- Change directory to the place you chose in step [2], for example, in
- an MS/DOS window (or in MS/DOS), and unpack the archive:
- >> C:> cd \
- >> C:> L:\hotmetal.exe -d
-
- This example creates a HOTMETAL directory inside C:\, so you end up with
- C:\HOTMETAL; the hotmetal.exe self-extracting distribution was on a
- networked L: drive, but you could have put it anywhere you had space.
-
-
- [4] Set up a Program Item
-
- In Windows, create a new Program Item, with
- Name: SoftQuad HoTMetaL
- Command: C:\HOTMETAL\BIN\SQHM.EXE -sqdir C:\hotmetal
- Directory: C:\HOTMETAL
-
- [5] Print The Manual (optional)
-
- If you want to print out the manual, it's in hotmetal/doc/hotmetal.ps, and
- you can send it to any PostScript printer (it uses LaserWriter Plus fonts,
- such as Palatino, however).
- The manual will use about 60 pages.
-
- [6] Read The Manual (optional)
-
- You can do this later if you're impatient.
-
-
- [7] Create an Association in File Manager (optional)
-
- In File Manager, choose the "Associate..." menu item from the "File" menu.
- Associate files having the extension HTM with C:\HOTMETAL\SQHM.EXE."
-
- This will let you launch HoTMetaL by double-clicking on an HTML file.
- Of course, you may prefer to have a browser such as NCSA Mosaic launched
- instead in this case.
-
-
- [8] Run The Program
-
- Double-click on the icon you created back in Step 4...
-
-
- [9] Read The Manual
-
- (if you didn't do it before)
-
-
- [10] Order The Pro Version
-
- If you want to upgrade to SoftQuad HoTMetaL Pro at any time, you
- can send mail to hotmetal@sq.com, or you can call us at +1 416 239 4801.
