Q: Hey, you know, this Book Browser thing is pretty neat. I like these sample files that you provided. However, I don't know anything about the Web but still think Book Browser would be a great tool to distribute information. How do I learn this HTML stuff? A: HTML stands for hypertext markup language. It is the formatting language used to create World Wide Web pages. Click here to take a peek at what the guts of a HTML page looks like. But if you don't want to learn HTML, you can obtain WYSIWYG editors that generate HTML for you with little effort on your part. The best FREE HTML editor can be obtained from America Online (http://www.primehost.com/download/index.htm). The best commercial HTML editor is Microsoft's FrontPage 97 (www.microsoft.com/frontpage.htm). Also, many newer word processors allow you to export (save as) to HTML, so you may already have the tool and you don't even realize it.
Q: Wow! By clicking on the words "Click here" (see above) you were able to start another program (e.g. Notepad). How did you do that? A: Simple. Just add an "a href=" tag that points to a program name (e.g. NOTEPAD.EXE) along with any command line parameters you wish to pass to the program. If the program (e.g., NOTEPAD.EXE) does NOT exist on your distribution diskette, then you must also add the following tag <base href="DosPath"> within the <HEAD></HEAD> section at the top of your HTML document. This reference to "DosPath" will cause Book Browser to search DOS' PATH for the program. Click here one more time and look carefully at how this is done.
