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.
The number is also in the `About' box in SoftQuad HoTMetaL (sqhm) itself.
PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE NCSA ABOUT THIS PRODUCT.
Thank you for using SoftQuad HoTMetaL.
