Homepage Penguin 2.0pro

The release of version 2 of the popular web page creator Homepage Penguin written by Matthias Jaap is imminent.

Here are some of the features for you to look forward to:

• flexible home page creation with the Penguin Navigator and the freestyle dialog
• Colour selector with preview
• Font selection
• new dialog: horizontal rules
• BubbleGEM help: A right mouse click on an object and a bubble with a help text pops up. BubbleGEM is a seperate program and only runs in a multitasking environment. The help text can also be displayed without BubbleGEM.
• Drag & Drop support: o.s. which support D&D are able to send a file name to a Penguin dialog. Just drag an object (e.g. the CAB URL button) to a Penguin dialog and drop it there. Drag & Drop is currently only supported by two dialogs: "Links" and "Images".
• CAB protocol: You can visit internet sites directly from the Penguin!
• Penguin protocol: Support for Plug-ins
• Background music including sound options
• Font attributes (bold, italic...)
• detailed (coloured) hyper text
• a help page for every dialog
• language detection for all Atari computers!
• support for "watermark" background images
• Pictures can be resized in their width and/or their height.
• PNG images are recognized in their size.
• Grow-/Shrinkboxes are drawn - the only reason are the excellent Spinboxes of Stewart (utility for MagiC)
• The author name will be also used in the <META> tag (important for WWW search engines)
• Support for Meta information
• MagiC and Geneva/MultiTOS/TOS 4.x 3D look partly supported
• Rainbow colours for headings
• The recognition of paragraphs works even if the line contains only spaces.
• No limit for the text length
• 1st Guide is used to view JPEG and PNG images. The main advantage of the program is that it is small and easy to use.
• support for the smallest possible heading size
• HomePage Penguin is now an OLGA client, too - although only partly.
• Popups replaced some of the listboxes
• HTML preview even with single TOS: Install HP-Penguin as an accessory and start CAB. Every time the page is saved, CAB displays it.
• GEMjing support
• long filenames
• userdefined modes
• save path can be changed after the first save operation (hold <Alternate> and the file selector appears again)
• language can also be changed with an alert box
• Available in: English, German, Swedish, Spanish and French.

There is a support page which is currently only in German. An English translation is due shortly. Point your browser at: www.jaapan.de/en/
