INFORMATION

HTML Mapper is a Windows 3.1 utility which helps a WWW site
manager organize and maintain the links throughout all of its
HTML pages.  The utility displays a tree showing what files the

HTML MAPPER DEVELOPMENT

Current work is being done to extend the program in the following
ways:
        
        1) Double clicking on missing file name will whisk you
           into an edit mode so you can change the HTML link.

        2) Class Viewer like interface for displaying the link
           information instead of directory viewer.

        3) Apple Macintosh, X-Windows, Versions.

        4) Checks to see if offsite links still exist with TCP/IP
           protocols.

             Description: HTML Mapper

USING HTML MAPPER

 1) To start building a map first select File, New Map... from 
    the HTML Mapper menu bar.

 2) Fill in the dialog as follows : 

        1) Home Page File Name : Enter the file name like        
           HomePG.HTM
           NOTE: If the file is in a directory off the Base
           Directory you must type PICTURES\HomePG.HTM. Where C:\
           might be the base directory. Only files with HTM
           extensions will be searched.

        2) Base Directory : Enter the base directory from which
           all other files and directories are located. 
                            
           NOTE: A base directory may be simple like C:\ or might
           point to D:\HTML\.  All other directory and file
           references must be found in a sub directory of the 
           base directory. 
           So the Home page file above would be found at
                 D:\HTML\PICTURES\HomePG.HTM.

        3) Site Address :
           Enter the name of the site from which your computer 
           resides. This will help the program determine if the
           link referenced to is an offsite link.

        4) Server Type : Enter the class of server you are using.
           NOTE : This must be one of the following : HTTP, FTP,
           FILE, TELNET.

        5) Once you have entered all this information in click on
           the Draw Map button.

        6) At any time you may cancel the File Parsing or Toggle
           (Alt+Tab) to another Windows program.  
           NOTE: If you cancel some of the file links may be
           reported as found when they may really be missing.
           This is because the program did not get a chance to
           evaluate the links state due to the interruption.  

        7) Once the map is built you may save it as an ASCII Text
           file or print the file with the font of your          
           selection.  You may also make another map while still
           keeping the current map.
