Agile supports HTML 4.0, HTML 3.2, HTML 2.0, Netscape 2.0 and 3.0, Internet Explorer 2.0 and 3.0 and is continually updated. Right click on any HTML tag to see and edit the attributes relevant to the HTML standard you have chosen to use. Full help is provided for attribute meanings and values, right where you need it, when editing the tag and attribute values.

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. 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. FLOPPY DISK The disk version is ready for installation immediately. Start Windows and then run "setup.exe" directly from disk 1. When complete, 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! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTACT POINTS -------------- Information Contact Point 1 Compware, 256 Milton Road, Cambridge CB4 1LQ, UK.

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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Compware hereby acknowledges trademarks owned by third parties which have been used in this or any other file supplied with this software.
