HMView is a full off-line HTML document viewer.
It is very useful for authors of HTML documents who wish to distribute their pages on diskette or any other off-line medium, and likewise for CD-ROM publishers and publishing houses who require distributing information in digital format.
This software is designed for distributing electronic documents under Windows environment using the HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) format employed in Internet.
The documents written in this format can be distributed either on diskette or compact disk using HMView or through Internet on the World Wide Web.
To create these you can employ any of the many shareware and freeware HTML editors available on the market, or one of the existing templates for Word for Windows, which allows exporting text in HTML format. HMView supports supports most of the HTML 3.0 specs. It is not prepared for communications through Internet but for off-line document browsing.
You can play WAV, MIDI and AVI files with HMView.
This program is distributed under the shareware standard and the unregistered version has enabled the main features.
The size of HMView is small (the redistributable program is about 400 Kb size) and only requires a PC with Windows 9.x / ME / NT / 2000 to run.
The registered user can distribute HMView (it's royalty free!) and the HTML pages to be viewer, using just one single diskette.
HMView Assistant program is included, to customize to the edge the HMView capabilities. This programs writes the hmview.ini file to configure HMView properly. Of course, you can configure HMView manually, editing the hmview.ini file with the Notepad program (or some other ASCII editor).
HMView supports HTML 3.0 specifications. Below you can observe a detailed list of all directives that can be used.

With online web sites, you can write Web applications which process form input and produce result pages which are then sent back to the browser. This is usually done using "Common Gateway Interface" (CGI) calls. Local CGI gives HMView the same capability, except that the crafting of Local CGI applications is usually much easier than the online variety!
Just as with regular CGI, a Local CGI call is defined using the <FORM> tag's Method and Action attributes, e.g.
<form Action="notepad.exe" Method="output.htm">
The above statement tells HMView that when the submit button on the form is pressed, it should:
You can also use the HREF tag for a Local CGI call:
<A HREF="myprog.exe CGI=output.htm ITEM1=ALFA ITEM2=BETA">Submit CGI</A>
