I like Hot Dog Pro. But that could change by the time you read this.
There are a lot of tools for designing web pages out there. What works?
What's best for beginners and for advanced web page authors? And where
do you get these tools?

Sorry,

That's actually a very good choice if you know html.
Even the wysiwyg editors like FrontPage now offer an option
of working directly on the code in a notepad type window.
There's an app that comes with FrontPage called FrontPad
which is basically notepad for html writers.

Haven't played with it or Publisher97 enough yet.
Will get there, though.

I've got one version at work, can't remember
which one, though. Can I use it to upload
my page(s) to the spring?

You can use it to design your pages but we don't *yet* have the FrontPage 98 server
extensions on the Spring, I do have a server that has FrontPage Extensions besides the
http://www.spring.com box if you want to use that. But it's pretty easy to ftp your stuff.
By the way, I already put up a test page for you at that address:

with AOL's winsock.

Have you checked out the ftp clients on http://cws.internet.com or
http://www.stroud.com (same thing)? I use ws_ftp. AOL may have their own that
you can download if this doesnt' work.

Haven't seen one yet, but really
haven't looked, either, as I don't
like help file thingys. More fun
to do stuff till something works.

AOhell has their own winsock I guess, are you using their winsock stack?

Don't know, haven't looked.
The way they auto update themselves,
even if I knew what I installed,
I wouldn't know now.
All I know is I couldn't install their
current version for 95 because it needs
a Pentium, and I ain't got one.
Oh, yeah, and some ftp clients don't
work with it.

You know there's an easy way for you to do it via telnet. Just telnet in and open the
pico editor and copy and paste your content in and save it as a file. No fuss, no sweat.
And if you need more help, I'll be glad to do some more 'splainin.

Good, cause I tried the telnet in W95,
and it wouldn't let me in. Also found
the ftp part of AOL, and it wouldn't let
me in, either. Now, unless I've finally
found programs I can't figure out,
I'm going to try at work on Friday night.

Try and see if you can run CRT, which you can find on
Forrest's http://www.stroud.com site. I'm beginning to
suspect that you need to add AOHells special Internet
stack. I remember having to go through some special
steps in setting up someones AOHell so that it would
perform like a normal system.
CRT is a great telnet program, it's what I'm using right
now to type this response.

Perhaps we could get some help from the Van Dyke folks
on the problems you're having. Is there any form of
support at AOHell? Have you tried emailing them?

It is a relief to read of the baby steps which were taken in your early years. I am just as relieved to know that I might be able to walk - even run - with the giants here...if I am lucky and smart enough...!
