HomeSite
http://www.dexnet.com/homesite.html
Windows 95
Freeware
nettools/htmled/homesite/hs_setup.exe
HomeSite is a 32-bit freeware HTML editor that resulted from my frustration with updating and maintaining Dexter on the Web. For the first few weeks of the site's existence, new pages were created using Windows Notepad. As time went on, however, I found that I needed something a little fancier. I tried what seemed like dozens of HTML tools - from simple text editors to full-blown WYSIWYG environments - but never found one that suited me. They either provided too much hand-holding or were so laden with features that it was still easier to use Notepad.
As luck would have it, about this time both Borland's Delphi 2.0 and Microsoft's Internet Control Pack (ICP) were released, which provided me the tools I needed to build my own editor. Setting aside my cartoons, I locked myself away and wrote HomeSite.
