It is not intended to be an exhaustive reference, mainly because there isn't one yet! Introduction ------------ Table Generator is a small app that I wrote one afternoon after getting bored doing tables by hand. Its a form which takes in details about what you want it to look like and a set of data. From these details the HTML code is formed which you can then copy into your HTML page itself. It was inspired by Sam Choukri and his Table Maker.. www.missouri.edu/~c588349/tablemaker.html This is a definite version 1.0.. No-one else has used this yet, if you have a problem or feel a comment is applicable please send me some mail. Any changes that are suggested will be acted upon and a new version mailed back, indeed I would like some feedback, for example if there was enough interest and if people asked for it I would include in the next version: help files detailing the various HTML tags that are supported, add more tags up to HTML 3.0 spec, Column spanning capabilities to data and maybe font sizes.. It all depends on how useful people are finding this and how much feedback I get so go on, send me some mail.. I feel lonely :) How To Install Table Generator --------------------------- There are no special or complicated procedures for installing the app. Copy the .exe file into a directory of your choice and add it to your desktop or startbar, or even just run it from the command line in Win95. This version is written in VB3 because I wanted to get it up and running in less than 1/2 a day, because of this you will require VBRUN300.DLL and THREED.VBX in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory too, you may already have these two files in which case you shouldn't need to copy them over.. Legalese -------- Table Generator is shareware. As such, you can use it, copy it, and give it away as you wish. In fact, you are encouraged to distribute the program to friends, family, and strangers alike. This includes distribution via electronic bulletin board systems (BBS), user's groups, and disk-distribution services, web servers and ftp sites. All that I ask is that the package remains unaltered and complete, consisting of the following files: TABLEGEN.EXE ........... executable TABLEGEN.TXT ........... this file FILE_ID.DIZ ...... BBS description file THREED.VBX ....... support library The following file is required for operation of this program, but may not be included with the other files in order to keep down the size of the distribution archive. If it is not included, you can get it from the same place you obtained this program, or from your local BBS or disk distributor. VBRUN300.DLL ..... Visual Basic support library Also if you have used this app, drop me a mail stating where you got it from so I can track its movements, and maybe some comments as to how useful/crap you found it .. Standard Limited Warranty: This software is sold "as is", without any warranty as to performance or any other warranties whether expressed or implied. Because of the vast number of possible hardware and software environments in which this software may be used, no warranty of fitness for a particular purpose is offered. The user assumes the entire risk of using this program. Any liability of the author will be limited to product replacement or the refund of the registration fee. Registration ------------ Table Generator is shareware. You may freely evaluate it for ever! However if you use this in a commercial environment, try to get some money from your company to send to me.. Anything will do, likewise if you do find this program useful send me a mail, you can send me money if you want - in fact you can send me anything, blank disks, broken hardware, diamonds, your example programs/source, job offers, old computer/sci-fi books, I'll take it all .. If you do send me something of interest I'll return you a fully registered, personalised version + a couple of other utils .. What more could you want?

Un-Installing Four Seasons -------------------------- If you decide not to keep Table Generator, you can un-install it by simply removing the program's files from your hard disk. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Have fun, and best of luck.
