README for HTML-Help 1.1
-------------------------

Requirements
------------
Any	Atari ST/TT/Falcon with	at least  512  KB and TOS 1.4 (1.0 and 1.2
may	work but I haven't tested that). A harddisk	and	a good text	editor
is recommended and,	of course, a WWW  browser like CAB or Webspace.	It
is a good idea to use an  editor  that	can	 run  as an	ACC	if you are
working	with single	TOS.  HTML-Help	 has also been successfully	tested
on a Hades 060.

Changes
-------
  0.9      First version, published by the German Atari magazine
           Atari Inside in August 1996.
  1.1      Accessory access under single TOS!
           Around 90 special characters are now supported.
           The text viewer can now be set directly from HTML-Help.
           Support for American English :-) . The only effect is
            that 'colour' is replaced by 'color'...
           I put many of the internal text information into the RSC
            file to make translations to other languages easier.
           The original Atari fileselector is now displayed without
            problems.
           Nice graphics for the help/info dialog!
  1.15     Filenames can now be shortened.
  1.2      Minor enhancements.

Languages
---------
HTML-Help supports two languages: English and German.  American  English
and French are partly supported.
Falcon users don't have to change any file names,  HTML-Help  will  load
the right RSC  file.  If  the  language  is  not  German  it  will  load
automatically the English RSC.
ST/TT users can set the language in the options dialog.


Convert special characters
--------------------------
Convert between Atari, Windows and HTML characters.

Please note	that this conversion can't be perfect due to the different
character sets of each computer.  Many	capital	umlauts	are	missing	in
the	Atari character	 set.  They	 are  converted	 to	 their	lower case
equivalents. The Windows ANSI  set	doesn't	 support many mathematical
symbols. HTML supports so many characters that they	can't be converted
all.

Some characters will not be converted. These are: "&<>
They are part of the HTML syntax and a conversion would damage the file.


View text
---------
The	Text  window  isn't	 100%  compatible  GEM.	 It	 works	well under
640*480/400	but	may	look strange  under	 other	resolutions. So	I have
integrated	a  new	feature	 to	 use  a	 text  editor  instead	of the
integrated text	viewer.	 Since	version	 1.1,  the	viewer	can	be set
directly from the HTML-Help	option	dialog.	 I	recommend Edith	as the
text editor	because	it can	run	 together  with	HTML-Help under	single
TOS.

The paths for browser and editor can be defined in HTML-Help.
