A Simple HTML Browser that can be used as a Help System

When the Browser is invoked with :

  • c:\utils\swhtml
    • it loads: c:\utils\index.htm (INDEX.HTM is ALWAYS the home page)
  • c:\utils\swhtml mytext.htm
    • it loads: c:\utils\mytext.htm
  • c:\utils\swhtml subdir\mytest.htm
    • it loads: c:\utils\subdir\mytest.htm
  • If the browser is already running it switches to the new page
    • So only ONE copy of the browser is present in memory

Tips for using the Browser

The Browser is an implementation of the Baldwin 16 Bit Delphi THTML Component with additions such as a "visited list" to provide highlighting of visited links.

The Graphics intepretation is handled by ILIB31HT.DLL a third party utility. Formats supported are : .GIF .PNG and .JPG also more usefully .BMP which is native to Windows so should generally be faster.

We have implemented it as part of a "tailored" CD Information system and also used it as an alternative to the Windows Help System.

You may use or distribute SWHTML.EXE freely, provided the executable has not been modified to remove or alter the copyright display.
