HotMetal (SoftQuad HTLM editor-program) on the Net
Subject:HotMetal (SoftQuad HTLM editor-program) on the Net From:Patrick O'Connell <patricko -at- EICON -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 27 Jan 1995 12:12:00 PST
One of the two FTP sites SoftQuad listed for the freely downloadable version
of HotMetal is ftp.cs.concordia.ca (132.205.4.5). HotMetal itself is
somewhere under /pub/WWW/ (perhaps /pub/www/), I think something like
/pub/WWW/users/tools/SoftQuad. Use Your Brain and this half-remembered info
and the path to it should be fairly obvious.
A note about the Windows archive file: despite being a PKSFX self-extracting
executable, its name is hotmetal.sqx. You must use the -d option when
running the executable you create by renaming the .sqx to .exe; there are a
coupla million subdirectories in the ZIP.
