HTML

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

I'm looking for a WORD like editor (even better : compatible) running on VMS that produces HTML files.

Anyone seen something I can use ?

Hi Wim,

You can use Mozilla browser or CSWB on VMS for creating HTML files. This is similar to microsoft front page on Windows.

Thanks & regards,
Lokesh Jain

sorry for my incomplete earlier post...

open the mozilla web browser ---> windows ---> composer .

This will open the composer window, which is similar to microsoft's front page.

HTH,
Best regards,
Lokesh Jain

Thanks Lokesh. It works. But it is VERY slow.
Will do some testing with it.

you will need lots of memory for SWB :-(
If you have lots then ensure your working set is big enough.

Indeed.

When started : 50 MB
After opening 90K HTML file : 55 MB
After opening the document in the composer : 65 MB
After clicking spell check : 75 MB
After clicking HTML source : almost 80MB.

A real PC program !

Btw : it is not compatible with IE. It doesn't know to resize images and ignores them. It also interpretes HTML differently (I think that faulty code reacts differently).

No: Unix.

It's something you see with "open source" software more often, since "OSS" normally means "Linux based" - with all limitations in error handling, security (buffer overflows), locking, file-IO (delivers and requires STREAM-LF files), memory usage....

I tried the DOM inspector and had to stop it with stop/id. 150 MB and 13 minutes of cpu.

My window manager starts behaving strangly and mon io reports high "logical translation" rates.

Nice program for a small demo. But for the real work ...

Hello Wim,
composer it's very slowly; you can edit a HTML file locally and you can work in same time; I tryed with Netscape V4.6 and Front Page Express; Front Page is quicker but opening a real complex page can crash.
If I understand, you are using a web server based on VMS and client PC: I think there are a few choice to edit a real complex page (next week I have to install Macromedia).
