Help Find Future Cures
 
New in version 2.2
  • A search engine is included in the e-books.  The search engine searches the entire site, searching for words on the page.
  • The exe files are now 220 Kb smaller (about 30%)
  • There is now a pop up menu for images.  right click on an image and select 'view image' of 'copy to clipboard'.
    • View Image will show the image at it's full size - e.g. if it has been sized using the height or width attributes.
    • Copy To Clipboard is disabled when the disable clipboard compiler option is specified.
  • If you do not include an 'author.htm' and/or 'help.htm' file, those menu options are removed, where before they where just greyed out (or disabled).
  • I've included a large close button on button bar.  You can show/hide it in the compiler options.
  • You can set a  minimum file size for the e-book.
    • This option allows you to expand the e-book to a larger size, which will make it more difficult for people to copy your work.  If you distribute on CD, you can set this is 640 MB so that if someone wants to re-distribute your work, they will have to distribute a much larger file.  If the exe is used as a help file for a program, you can use html2exe to fill up the CD.
    • The extra size is not compressible, so if it is zipped, it will not be any smaller.
    • The maximum size is 2047 MB, this seems to be the windows limit for the size of an exe file.
    • exe files above 942 MB run okay but explorer will not show their icon.  At the moment i'm assuming this is a problem with windows or windows explorer.
  • you can set the default font, size and color for e-book.  If your html does not contain <FONT> tags, the default font will be used.
  • You can set a title for the e-book.  If you set a title, it will appear at the top of the window.  If you do not set a title, the title of each page visited will be shown instead.
  • You can set the window size.  select from 640x480, 800x600 or set your own size.
  • You can now use your own icon in the compiled exe files.
  • The button bar logo will now expand horizontally if you use a larger bitmap.  The width can vary between 8 and 140 pixels.
  • Added support from escape characters in links e.g. %20 = space character
  • Various improvements to the results window:
    •   Message are separated into 3 type: errors, web links and local links.
    •   Improved printing output.
 
New in version 2.1
  • Most important of all, you can now compile to three different formats:
    • an EXE with the browser and web site built in.
    • 2 separate files: a browser EXE file and a matching H2E file.
    • a new file type .H2E which can be viewed with a separate program called H2EView.  This is perfect for webzines - send H2EView to your subscribers once, then when you sent out an issue, you only have to send an H2E file (the H2E file is about 500k smaller than a full compiled EXE).
  • Use your own logo in the button bar - either BMP files or icons.

  •  
  • Link your logo to your web page and allow the user to access your web page through the help menu.

  •  
  • You can password protect your e-books in two ways:
    • ask for the password before showing the home page or
    • ask for the password before leaving the home page.  This way the home page is unprotected but you require a password to access the rest of the content.  This is the preferred option.
  • You can set an expiry date for your e-books.  When the expiry date is passed, the e-book cannot be read.

  •  
  • Support for background sounds.

  •  
  • You can include an about author page and your own help file into your e-book.  These then appear on the help menu.

  •  
  • An improved user interface:
    • the button bar can be docked at the top or bottom of the compiler or it can be left floating.
    • compression has been simplified it is now either on or off.
    • added an Edit/Font size menu so you can change font size easier and quicker.
  • The compiler is now 32 bit so it is win95,98,NT only.  The e-books will still run on windows 3.1.

  •  
  • Access to your HTML editor.  Load whatever page you are viewing  into your html editor.

  •  
  • Better compiler options:
    • printing can now be enabled/disabled.
    • you can also allow/disalow the copying of text to the clipboard.
    • borderless full screen mode is now completely borderless (no lines around the edge of the screen).
  • A few bug fixes too:
    • solved a problem with certain layouts of sub directories.  Sub directories should now work 100% correctly.
    • solved a problem where filenames starting with .. or \ where not  always recognized properly. (this was related to the sub directory problem).
    • Netscape composer v4.5 handles '>' characters in a bit of a non-standard way, so some >'s where not appearing properly.  This problem has been fixed, and '>' now displays correctly.

  • Support for long filenames
  • Improved graphics quality in 256 colour modes
