After that, I have not had any problems with the program. I'm using 
WPC 1.6a on an Atari TT030. Written with GFA Basic 3.5e

WPC=Web Page Creator

This program is still under development,
WPC WORKS BEST UNDER SINGLETASKING! IT IS UNSTABLE IN MAGIC. 
DO NOT USE ACCESSORIES (ACC) IT WILL CRASH!

This is a quick info file.  I'm not good at writing instuctions 
or programing. 
Should work in all Resolutions Higher than ST Low. It does work in ST Low,
but menus are not displayed "neatly".
The Help option is not implemnted in this version.

WPC will help you create simple web pages. A little knowledge of html
is helpful, like knowing what a Link and Heading are.

With WPC you can include:
Headings, Long Paragraphs, Text and Image Based LINKS, Horizontal Bars
in 3 sizes, Background Images and Sound, Mailto: LINKS, insert Images
and Import Text files. All of which can be aligned.


When the program is run, you will be prompted to either Select
a file or enter in a filename.
**** BE SURE TO USE ".HTM" AS THE FILE EXTENDER ****
WPC writes the html code to a string as YOU create it. 
The program will write the file out when you are finished.

Next you will be asked for the title of the page. 
This is what is displayed at the top of the web page window.

Next you will be asked if you would like a Background Image.
If you select YES, then a file selector box will appear. Select a file
or enter in a filename.

You will also be prompted if you would like a background sound. Selecting
YES, a file selector will pop up. Select a file or enter a filename. Then
 you will be asked how many times to loop the sound and how long of a delay
  between the loops.
  
Then the main Menu will appear.  

Here is a Quick list of what is under each menu item

FILE MENU:
NEW = START PROGRAM OVER, NO SAVE
SAVE/NEW = Auto SAVE file and start a new file
SAVE/QUIT = Auto SAVE, END Program

TEXT MENU:
Heading = Create a Heading, up to 80 characters in lenth
LoadText = Load in a plain (Ascii) text file.
Single line = Up to 80 characters in lenth
Paragraph = type up to 20 lines of text. Type "/x" and hit RETURN to end.

GRAPHICS MENU:
Select Image = Insert an Image in the page.
Horizontal Rule (BAR) = Create a "Bar" in 3 sizes

LINKS MENU:
Text Link = Create a Text Based Link
Image Link = Create a Image based Link, "clickable image" 
MailTo:= create a text or image based link for e-mail,
         enter in the e-mail address.

HELP MENU:
HELP= NOT IMPLEMENTED

Note: On all Text inputs (Headings, Single Line and Paragraph) You may 
include html tags. 

<B> text </B> for Bold Text
<I> text </I> for Italic text
<BLINK> text </BLINK> for blinking text 
etc..

I find it HELPful to put all the images, text and sound files into the
same folder as wpc BEFORE I start to Create the web page.

Thanks To:
Greg Evans for help with the Load Text routine

HISTORY
-------

New for WPC 1.5c
-----------------
Added Drop down menus, Killed the Medium Rez Custom Menu
Now works in most resolutions(?)
Fixed and IMPROVED paragraph option
Added Background Sound option
Fixed a FEW problems with the File name selector
Added a size option in the mailto: text link
and CLEANED UP MY PROGRAMMING!!!! Condensed routines down
More, I'm sure...

New for WPC 1.5d
----------------
Corrected bug in BKSOUND html code writing
Added Image option in Mailto: Link option
Corrected ANOTHER problem with the File name Selector

New for WPC 1.6a
----------------
WPC now writes a html file in memory and save it all at the end.
Added more html comment lines, now writes date and time page was created.

New for WPC 2.0
---------------
First version with a Resource file

What's in the future for WPC?
---------------------
NOT IN ANY ORDER!
**started with 2.0 ** But my main goal right now is RESOURCE FILE. 
Import and Edit html code 
** started in 2.0 **Work in Mutitasking OS's like Magic
Quick displaying of file with CAB (like Olga)
** DONE** Put html code into a string, not write to disk as WPC does now
Select Color options for Background, Links, Visited Links. Also for Text
FRAMES creation option
Help Screen implemented
More, of course! It would be GREAT to have a FULL featured html editor
that runs on ATARI Computers! Not that WPC does alot now, more is better!
