Hi Chris, According to the 17 August 1994 HTML Assistant FAQ, the current version is 1.0A. Is this what you have? I've never used HTML Assistant before--I just know that it's a Windows based html editor. However... I've been using 2 other hypertext editors: One is for the Macintosh only. The program is called BBEdit. It is available from Bare Bones Software for a student rate of US$34 (i gather by your e-mail address that you are a student). The company's e-mail address is bbsw@netcom.com. There are two versions of this program: a freeware version, BBEdit Lite, and a commercial version, BBEdit. The latest release of both versions is 3.0. You could ftp a demo version of BBEdit 3.0 and the freeware version BBEdit Lite 3.0 at ftp.std.com--both files are in the /pub/bbedit directory. Also, there are 2 developers who've come up (individually) w/ html extensions to go w/ BBEdit and BBedit Lite. One is Lindsay Davies at University of York in the UK. You could find her files at: http://www.york.ac.uk/!ld11/BBEditTools.html ftp.york.ac.uk /pub/users/ld11/ (p.s. Lindsay's extensions has a preview function!) The other is Carles Bellver at Universitat Jaume I in Spain. You could find his files at: http://www.uji.es/bbedit-html-extensions.html ftp.uji.es /pub/uji-ftp/mac/util/bbedit-html-ext.sea.hqx (n.b. BBEdit is tres facile to use and html extensions make writing up documents in html a snap.) The other html editor that I use is HoTMetal Pro by SoftQuad HotMetal. The commercial version is US$195 for the Microsoft Windows version and US$195 for the Sun OS 4.13 Motif version (other versions are supposedly forthcoming). SoftQuad's e-mail address is sales@sq.com. The freeware version for Windows and the freeware version for Sun Motif are available at the following ftp sites: ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu /Web/html/hotmetal/ doc.ic.ac.uk /packages/WWW/ncsa/ gatekeeper.dec.com /net/inofsys/Mosaic/contrib/SoftQuad (n.b. this program has a lot of nifty features: preview, macros, HTML validation check, built-in graphical table editor, plus more) On Fri, 25 Nov 1994, Chris de Bree wrote: > Hello, > > I am currently writing HTML-documents for Mosaic with: HTML Assistant > hypertext editor, version 1.0a.
