Notes:

The World Wide Web version of our SMUG Book was converted from the Prose text formatter to raw HTML format using Robelle’s Qedit, then fine-tuned and linked into pages using HTML Writer by Kris Nosack and checked for errors with Weblint. The graphics were manipulated mainly with Graphic Work Shop, with pixels edited by IconWorks and MS Paintbrush. The WinHelp file was generated using HTMHelp. I’ll talk more about these tools later.

The result of using all these tools was a quick reference "book" that can be accessed in a number of ways: as a pocket encyclopedia as shown above, as a traditional book with a table of chapters as shown below, or at random by following the many links among and beyond the pages.

Chapters


For Techies:

HTML
HyperText Markup Language
Hard-coded pages
The default page name in any web directory such as /smugbook is welcome.html. If that is not found, the browser looks for index.html.
