About Agile HTML Editor
-----------------------

Agile HTML Editor opens up new and easier ways of working with HTML.

Agile understands all the HTML elements and attributes so you don't
have to. Most of the time you can configure your HTML tags directly
from a menu, by right clicking on the tag.

Agile also has official HTML references built into it and supplied
in HTML format for immediate access. Just hit F5 and Agile will show
you the official W3C HTML 3.2 specification for the tag. The official
Internet Explorer 3 HTML Reference is also included in full.

There are many more features which will make things easy for you. Here
are some of the main ones:

 Editing Tags and Attributes
   * syntax multi-colouring (as you type) shows page structure and errors
   * right-click editing of tag attributes, many with just two clicks
   * attributes and values are automatically inserted or modified for you
   * HTML colour palettes and customisable colour menu

 HTML Reference
   * includes the official W3C HTML 3.2 Specification in full
   * includes Microsoft's Internet Explorer 3 HTML Reference in full
   * help on any tag just by pressing F5, using the supplied references
   * status bar hints help you configure attributes
   * quick access to on-line HTML references from the Help menu

 Customisable Templates
   * customisable HTML templates for your standard document types
   * customisable HTML snippets for frequently used snippets of HTML

 Time Saving Features
   * Ctrl-U inserts a URL directly into any tag without any typing
   * auto-sizing of <IMG> tags for GIF/JPEG images
   * quick opening of HTML URLs with right-click menu
   * quick access to help using F1

 Audience Targetting
   * mix n match targetting of HTML: Netscape 2/3, IE 2/3 and HTML 2/3.2
   * menus, syntax colouring, automatically reconfigure for your target HTML
   * fast efficient previewing with Netscape 1/2/3 and IE 2/3

IMPORTANT NOTE

If you wish to store, copy, distribute or use the Agile HTML Editor
sofware, you must first read and agree to the terms and conditions
described in the LICENSE.TXT file. If you fail to read and agree to
these terms, you will be in breach of the copyright vested in this
software and liable for any consequenses arising out of such a breach
breach of copyright.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLATFORMS
---------

Agile runs under Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51 and above.

DISK SPACE

Agile will take up to 3MB of disk space when installed, depending
on how many of the required system files are already present on your
system.

Approximately 5MB of space will be required during the installation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLING AGILE
----------------

Agile installs into "C:\Program Files\Agile", or an alternative
directory which you may specify. It may also install some additional
files into your Windows directories if they are not already present.

During installation, Agile records details of all files and other
changes made to your system, such as registy entries, and provides
an uninstall program so that the entire installation can be removed
easily.

Installing Agile is simple, but the precise details depend on the
form in which you have obtained it. Agile can be obtained on disk,
in partially compressed form, or downloaded in a compressed .ZIP
archive file.

FLOPPY DISK

The disk version is ready for installation immediately. Start
Windows and then run "setup.exe" directly from the disk. Now
see "AFTER INSTALLATION" below.

ZIP ARCHIVE

If you download the software you will receive it in a .ZIP archive
file which must be extracted before you can install Agile. You must
extract the software from the archive into a temporary directory,
using a program such as PKUNZIP (for DOS) or WinZip (for Windows).

It is beyond the scope of this document to explain how to use
these (or other archive extraction programs), so please refer to
the documentation for the particular archive extraction program
you have available.

Having extracted the files into a temporary directory, you can now
run "setup.exe". Now see "AFTER INSTALLATION" below.

AFTER INSTALLATION

The installation program creates items on the Start Menu for starting
Agile and accessing help and readme files.

UNINSTALLING AGILE

To remove an installation of Agile:
    1) Open Control Panel from the Start Menu using the "Settings" sub menu.
    2) Choose "Add/Remove Software" which will open a properties dialog.
    3) Choose "Agile HTML Editor" within the dialog.

IMPORTANT

Before you forget, please make a backup copy of the Agile
installation files. If you don't, you are bound to need it!

COMPWARE
--------

We are a small business based in Cambridge UK, dedicated to producing
software which is genuinely useful and works hard so that you don't
have to.

You will find that a lot of attention is paid to the user interface and
the finer details of how you want to operate in our software. This is
because every product has been produced for our own use, and so has had
vocal feedback from users since its conception.

We also want to hear what you think.

Compware started in 1983, selling peripherals and software, and realised
immediately that the only way to succeed in business is to identify what
people will find useful and concentrate all your efforts on maintaining
that position. From very early on, we started producing our own software,
so that we were able to design the products for users needs rather than
just pick the best from a not always so wonderful bunch.

TELETEXT

In addition to the on-line world of the Web, we also specialise in software
which makes the most of the Teletext broadcasting system. If you use Teletext
and don't think that it works as well as it could, you need look no further
than our web pages (see CONTACT POINTS below). Take a look at the TvText
Teletext Viewer for the best Windows Teletext sofware available.
