 - Product Overview - 

I-View 2.0 is a specialized, compact, full-featured off-line viewing and presentation tool
for HTML documents. It enables the seamless integration of content from multiple off-line sources, including CD-ROMs, DVDs, local hard drives, or even floppy disks.  

There are two versions of  I-View Pro: 16-bit and 32-bit. 16-bit I-View Pro is compatible with Windows 95, 3.1 and NT; 32-bit I-View Pro can be run on Windows 95 and NT.

I-View is very small in size (about 750K), allowing you to distribute your HTML files using just a single floppy disk. Sample applications for I-View include Interactive Publishing, Product Documentation, Sales Communications, and Multimedia Corporate Training.

I-View displays hypertext documents and in-line images.  It will also load your choice of associated programs to play sound, movie clips or display separate images.  I-View also supports image maps.  A WYSIWYG Print Preview displays any page exactly as it will print on your printer.

This user manual covers I-View Pro (Version 2.XX) 16- and 32-bit versions for use with Windows 3.1, 95 and NT.  I-View Pro adds a powerful HTML file search engine and supports forms as well as plug-ins via a Win-CGI interface.  For a list of all HTML tags supported by I-View, please refer to the Appendix.

- Installation Instructions -

Note: 
These instructions assume you have already downloaded the zipped I-View or I-View Pro file from our website or have a floppy disk with the file already on it.

Windows 3.1
1.	Copy the zipped file into the directory you want I-View to be located e.g. c:\iview or c:\iviewpro
	
2.	Click on the File menu of your Windows Program Manager
	
3.	Select Run, and then type the path and filename of the zipped file 
e.g. c:\iview\16ivwXXX.exe or c:\iview\16ivpXXX.exe, where XXX is the 3-digit 
I-View version number.

4. 	When all files have been successfully unzipped, you can run I-View through the Run command in your Windows Program Manager, or by creating an icon for I-View using the New command also in the Windows Program Manager. The path in either case is the directory in which you originally unzipped I-View e.g. c:\iview\iview16.exe or c:\iview\iviewp16.exe

File Menu Functionality:
1. New Window Command
Use this command to create a new browser window.

Enables you to create another browser window to view other files without disturbing the views in your other browser windows.

2. Open Command
Use this command to open an existing document in your current browser window.

Use this command to select a file to open from a dialog box. Open presents a file selection dialog box, listing the HTML files on your local disk. The dialog box allows you to specify the file you want to open.  By default, I‑View displays all files listed in the current directory or folder with the .htm file extension (HTML Documents).  File types displayed may be changed through the pull-down menu in the lower left-hand corner entitled “List Files of Type:”.  You may also change directories or folders by simply clicking one of the folders listed in the upper middle portion of the dialogue box. 

Change to the directory or folder where you have saved the file you want to open.  If necessary, you may have to use the “Drives:” pull-down menu or the “Network…” button for files located on a floppy or network drive.  If the file you are looking for is not listed, be sure to the “List Files of Type:” to *.*.  This will force I‑View to list all files in the current folder, regardless of their file extension or name.  

Click on the “Open in new window” radio box if you would like to have the file opened in a new browser window.  You may also specify how you would like the file opened (e.g. HTML as a TEXT document) by making the appropriate selection in the “Open as:” pull-down menu.

Tip: Remember all HTML files are really plain text files.  You may have used Notepad or another ASCII text editor and accidentally saved the file with the .txt file extension. You can change the types of files listed through the “List Files of Type:” pull-down menu.

3. Reload Command
Use this command to reload an existing document in the current window.

Brings a fresh copy of the current document (from the saved source) to replace the one originally displayed.  The reloaded command displays any changes made to the original HTML file from the time of the original display.  This command will force I-View to “re-read” the original source HTML file and “reload” the document into the window.  When you edit the original HTML source code, you will need to “save” your editing, then “reload” to allow I-View to read and display your changes from the original file.

4. Find File Command 
Use this command to perform complex searches in multiple files.

This command enables you to perform searches for a specific text string for all files within a specific directory.  The search string should be specified in the appropriate box along with the file type and directory to be searched.  To perform only a search on filenames, check the leftmost radio box entitled “File Name Only”.  Otherwise, to search the content of each file, check the rightmost radio box entitled “File Name and Content”.  If you want to search using more complex combinations of search strings, you can specify up to 10 different strings joined by AND, NOT, and OR connectors using the “Advanced” search button.  When you are ready to search, press the “Search” button.  Files found by the search will be displayed in the window at the bottom of the dialog box.  You may open them directly by selecting the appropriate file you want and pressing the “Open” button.  When you are done searching, press the “Close” button to close the Find File dialog box.

5. Open File In Cache Command 
Use this command to open a cached file used by a browser.

This command can be used to open cache database files (e.g. fat.db) generated by most browsers.  Use the “Browse” button to specify the appropriate cache database path and file, file types, and desired options.  Files desired can be selected by highlighting the file and pressing the “Open” button.

6. Close Command 
Use this command to close the current window.

Closes the current window only without exiting from the I-View application.

7. Compress HTML File Command
Use this command to compress or protect distributed HTML files.

This feature works only in the royalty-free versions of I-View.  Presents a dialog box enabling you to select a file or list of HTML files to be compressed.  This feature is useful for applications of I-View where storage space is limited (such as a floppy disk) or where the content author does not want to give their users the ability to view or change the included HTML source files.  Files compressed using this feature are given a .TCC extension and are unreadable using browsers or applications other than I-View.

8. Compile Release Version Command 
Use this command to compile a release version of I-View for distribution.

This feature works only in the royalty-free versions of I-View.  Enables you to compile a special version of I-View with some features disabled and an expiration date, for distribution to your target audience.  The dialog box brought up by this command gives you radio box options to disable user ability to change home pages, edit HTML source code, open a new window, open a new file, close a file, or set an expiration date.  The release version of I-View can be renamed to anything however an .EXE extension must be added in order for it to be recognized as an application by Windows.

9. Print Command 
Use this command to print the current document.

Use this command to print the current I-View document.  A dialog box allows you to select  printing characteristics.  In addition to Print, I-View offers a Print Preview menu command to display the layout of a printed page before you print.

10. Print Preview Command 
Use this command to preview a page before it is printed.

Use this command to see a representation of a printed page on screen before you send to the default printer.  I-View presents the standard Windows print dialog box and controls.

11. Print Setup command 
Use this command to set-up print characteristics including the default printer.

This command presents a dialog box that lets you specify printing characteristics associated with the current document. You can change the default printer settings using this command.

12. Exit command 
Use this command to quit I-View.

Closes all open documents and exits the I-View application.  Use this command to end your I-View session.  I-View will prompt you to save any documents that have unsaved changes.

 
- Edit Menu -

Copy:	Copies selection to the clipboard.

Find:	Finds specified text within a document.

Source: 	Allows editing of HTML source code.

Edit Menu Functionality:
1. Copy Command 
Use this command to copy a selection to the clipboard.

This command works similar to other applications allowing you to copy a previously highlighted selection in an I-View window to be pasted into another application.

2. Find Command 
Use this command to find text in the currently open document.

This simple text find capability brings up a dialog box allowing you to find text in the document currently being viewed.  Find options include case matching and direction (forward, backward, and from the beginning).

3. Source Command 
Use this command to edit the HTML source for the document currently being viewed.

This command opens a Windows Notepad document displaying the current document HTML source.  You can edit the source just like any other standard ASCII text file and save it.  Note: Be sure you are save the file with the .htm file extension for HTML documents instead of the standard .txt applied by default from Windows Notepad.

- View Menu -

Toolbar:			Shows or hides the Toolbar.

Status Bar:			Shows or hides the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen.

Options: 			Allows you to change general, font, and file type settings.

Tip: The Options menu provides control of your interface and how your  I-View program displays HTML formatting tags, not how other browsers will display your source HTML code.

View Menu Functionality:
1. Toolbar Command 
Use this command to toggle display of I-View’s toolbar.

This toggle menu command will display a “check” mark on its left side when the I-View toolbar display is enabled.  When the toolbar is disabled, no “check” mark will be visible.

2. Status Bar Command 
Use this command to toggle display of I-View’s status bar.

Similar to the Toolbar menu command, this toggle switch will display a “check” mark on its left side when the I-View status bar display is enabled.  The status bar is visible at the bottom of the I-View application window.  When the status bar is disabled, no “check” mark will be visible.

3. Options Command 
Use this command to change general, font, and file type settings.

This menu command brings up a dialog box with 3 tabs enabling you to alter (1) general, (2) font, and (3) file type settings for I-View.  These settings contained on each of these 3 tabs are discussed below.  

(1) General Options 
The path and filename of the default home page used by I-View can be re-specified here.  If the file is the same directory as the I-View application, you need only type the entire file name (e.g. iview.htm).  Otherwise, you must specify the entire path (e.g. c:\mystuff\iview\iview.htm).  IMPORTANT: Make sure that the “Save Settings on Exit” radio box is checked before you hit the OK button.  You must then exit from I-View and restart the I-View application before your changes will take effect.

In addition to specifying a default home page, you may also toggle other options including: display images, display background, play animations, in-place play sound, dither background color, and style sheets on.  After changing these options, be sure you specify whether you want the changes to apply to only the current window or all future windows by checking the appropriate radio box.  Changes will take place immediately after you press the OK button.

(2) Font Options 
Use this command to change your HTML font attributes for fixed width and proportional spaced fonts.  As with general options, make sure you specify whether you want these changes to apply only to the current window only or to all future windows.  Changes will take place immediately after you press the OK button.

Tip: We recommend you use the standard default font settings while creating your Web documents.  The default settings will provide you the best indication of how your pages will appear in most browsers.  Remember, you can change the way I-View displays your fonts on your system, however, these settings only affect your display.  You cannot change the default settings for your browsers used by your audience.

(3) File Type Options 
This last set of options allow you to add, edit, or remove file types recognized by I-View and the applications that will be used to display them.  Several default file types are already defined for I-View and it is recommended that the user not make any changes to these unless they are sure of what they are doing.  Editing and removing of file types is done by selecting the appropriate file type and pressing the desired button.  Adding and editing of file types presents a dialog box allowing you to specify the extension, file type (MIME), sub-type, and display application (through a “Browse” button).

    - Navigate Menu - 

Go Home:	Go to the default Home page.

Go Back:	Go back to the previous page.

This command takes you to your default home page. You may change this default home page by using the “Options” command in the View Menu.

Tip: Try creating your own home page with your favorite Web sites. It can also be created as a quick reference page. For example, try creating a page with all your favorite FTP sites in one section, and all your web sites in another section.

2. Go Back Command 
Use this command to page back through previously viewed document(s).  

I-View determines what the previous page is according to the order in which you opened the files in the window.

 - Forcing Page Breaks - 

To force a page break when printing and HTML page with I-View Pro, simply use your favorite web editor to insert <NEXTPAGE> tags into your HTML documents wherever you would like to see a page break when printing the document.  Note that only I-View Pro recognizes this <NEXTPAGE> tag and printing from any other browser will ignore these forced page breaks.
