Spyglass HTML Validator 1.0
Description
The Validator is a stand-alone Windows 95 utility that checks HTML files
against compiled versions of many popular HTML Document Type Definitions
(DTDs), and reports syntax or structural errors needing correction. It also
includes error editing functionality, online help, and documentation. Web
authors can ensure that their HTML content will appear reliably on different
browsers by validating prior to publication. The Validator permits documents
to be checked on the author's desktop, eliminating connect time required for
online validation services.
