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
-------
  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!

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.
