Installation

1. Remove any previous installations of WebSked. WebSked provides 
this capability through Win95's or WinNT 4.0's Control Panel. 
Simply click on Start, select Settings, and then select Control 
Panel. Within the Control Panel, double click on the "Add/Remove 
Programs" icon, and select WebSked from the list. Then click on 
the "Add/Remove" button, and follow the instructions to remove 
WebSked. (Note: If you manually remove an old version of WebSked,
be sure to save a copy of your .wsf files!)

2. Unzip the file, and run the setup program. The Setup program 
automatically loads the program and extracts all necessary files. 
A WebSked program icon is automatically placed on your Programs 
menu for your use.

3. Due to it's size, the file Visual Basic runtimes are not 
included. You may not need these files if you've previously 
installed a program that uses Microsoft Visual Basic 5. However, 
if you need these file to complete your installation, you should 
be able to obtain a copy from the site where you downloaded the 
file, or at:

   http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll.html
   (you'll want to get the Visual Basic 5.0 runtimes)

   - or -

   ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet
   (see archive /simtelnet/win95/dll/vb500a.zip)
 

*******

Quick Start Instructions

1. (Optional) Select the default main destination directory for 
the HTML directories and files. From the View menu, select the 
HTML Default Main Directory Window item, and select a default 
main directory for your HTML directories and files.

2. Select the MS Project file for conversion to HTML. From the 
File menu, select the Add Project to Convert... item, and select 
a Microsoft Project file.

3. Convert the selected file(s) to HTML. From the Run menu, 
select HTML Conversion.

4. Using your web browser, open either the index.htm or gantt.htm 
file (located in the destination directory) and verify that the 
conversion was successful. You'll now want to explore many of the 
other features of WebSked, including setting the Return-to and 
Navigation Links and selecting new Colors for your web pages!

NOTE: The files index.htm and gantt.htm are the best files to use 
for setting up links to your new web pages. Many of the other 
file names will change with changes to MS project file since 
they're based on task and resource ID numbers.

*******

HTML Directory Requirements

Each project must have a unique directory for its HTML files. No 
other files should be located in a directory that contains the 
HTML files generated by this program.

This unique directory must contain one, and only one, set of 
output files from this program.

The files generated by this program include many common names 
(e.g., index.htm and gantt.htm). If more than one project is 
added to a specific directory, critical files from the first set 
will be lost. 

Note that WebSked (as a user option) can delete all existing HTML 
and graphics files in the destination directory. The use of this 
option is recommend since the removal of old HTML and graphics 
files will help to avoid the excessive accumulation of unneeded 
files.

*******

HTML File Name Issues 

WebSked is designed to produce lower cased HTML files with the 
htm extension. This provides support for use of the files on 
Windows platforms, and is compatible with most other platforms 
and web browsers.

A small problem may arise if these files are transferred to a 
UNIX host. Certain file transfer utilities may convert the file 
names to upper case letters on the UNIX host. If this occurs, 
WebSked provides two simple UNIX shell scripts to correct this 
problem:

HTM2LC - Converts all HTML file names from UPPER CASE to lower 
case.

GIF2LC - Converts all GIF file names from UPPER CASE to lower 
case.

In order to execute these UNIX shell scripts, enter sh HTM2LC and 
sh GIF2LC at the UNIX prompt on the UNIX host. 

*******

HTML Links: Return-to and Navigation Links

WebSked adds a return-to link at the top of every web page. 
Additionally, WebSked can include an optional navigation bar at 
the bottom of every web page that can be used to provide links to 
many other locations.

To change either the return-to or navigation links, from the View 
menu select Navigation Links Window, and enter both a title and 
address for the links.

*******

Progress Indicators on Summary Tasks

WebSked can include optional progress indicators (in the HTML 
pages) for all tasks. These progress indicators provide a color 
indicator for progress ahead or behind of schedule, and can be 
very useful in quickly identifying potential problem areas.

For a summary task, the progress indicator represents the worst 
condition of all of the included tasks, not an overall progress 
at the level of the summary task. This helps to reveal any 
potential problems that may have otherwise gone unnoticed due to 
exceptionally good progress in other tasks included in the 
summary. To reveal the source of the problem, follow the links in 
the summary tasks to the lowest level task with the potential 
problem.

To enable or disable progress indicators, use the Progress 
Indicators option on the Format menu.


*******

Use of Special Characters in HTML

Certain special characters should not be directly used in text 
that will be displayed in HTML pages.

The following HTML special characters codes are recommended 
for use in the HTML text:

    Symbol      Special Character Codes
    ------      -----------------------
    "           &quot;
    &           &amp;
    <           &lt;
    >           &gt;
                &nbsp; (space)
    (c)         &copy; (copyright)
