The HTML List Generator v3.5 (c)1998 Delsyd Software
What's new for version 3.5
1.Fixed more severe bugs
2.Made GUI friendlier---again
I.Introduction
This program is designed to make the construction of file archive pages on the internet
a lot simpler.It takes a lot of the tedious steps of creating one of these pages out of the loop.
II.Requirements
Workbench 2.x or higher.
A screenmode that's at least 686x440
III.The user interface
Most parts of the user interface are pretty straightforward.
1.Clear all entries---clears out all of the data you have entered.
2.Refresh window---When the window is resized,some of the gadgets do not redraw for some reason
This is a cheap way around that.
3.Exit---say bye bye!
4.Open HTML viewer---Opens a window so you can view the html source code
5.Close HTML viewer---does the exact opposite.
6.Load data file---Loads an HLG data file that you've saved.
7.Save data file---Saves all information in your current document.
8.Save HTML file---generates html code for use in you page.
9.Make dir data file---This is actually a relatively useful feature. Make a directory on your hard drive
that contains all the files that are on your site that are available for download.Select
the Make dir data file button. Now choose the directory that your files are in, and
voila! most of your work is done!
10.Next page---move forward one page
11.Previous page---moves back one page.
12.Page title---Enter the title of your page here.
13.File pathname---Enter the FULL pathname of your page's download directory
ex. http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/foothills/2705/
14.Files names---simply type in the names of the files available.HLG takes care of the rest.
You are allowed to have 98 files per web page.Only 11 files are shown at a time.Use the
next page and previous page buttons to scroll through the other 8 pages of files.
15.Descriptions---Type a short description for each file.
16.Text color-html text colors are in rgb format.For each different
category(text,link,vlink,flink), you must enter a # followed by the rgb codes for that particular
color.Each RGB value is in hexadecimal,and has a range between 0 and 255.See examples:
ex. #ffffff <---this would be white
ex. #ff0000 <---red
ex. #00ff00 <---green
ex. #0000ff <---blue
ex. #999999 <---gray
17.Link to home page---Enter the full URL of your web page.
ex. http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/foothills/2705/index.html
18.Background image---Enter the FULL pathname of the image you want to be displayed in the
background---leave this blank if you don't intend to use it.
ex. http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/foothills/2705/background.gif
19.Header image---This display an image at the top of the page.Enter the full pathname of the
image to be displayed.

III. Important notes!!!!
When entering data into the string gadgets,don't forget to press enter after you finished a line!
If you don't press enter, the program won't recognize any changes that you have made.Don't
consider this a bug...just a FEATURE!!!(I'm trying to get to the bottom of this problem!)

VI.Known Bugs:
Fixed for release 3.5
There was an evil bug in the window-opening routine. If you tried to run the program on a screen
that was too small, the program ignored that fact and KEPT GOING! Lockup city!
Fixed for release 3.1
There were a couple of FATAL errors in the functions which brought up file requestors. If you tried to
cancel a file operation, all data would be lost! OOPS! Well,at least I fixed it...
Fixed for release 3.0
There was a bug in version 2.0 that caused some data to not be displayed in the html viewer.
