WHAT IS WEBFORD?
================

Webford is a user-friendly software package for Windows that makes it 
easy for anybody to create and edit pages for the World Wide Web. It 
functions in a very similar manner to a simple word processing package,
except that it enables users to easily format documents with HyperText 
Markup Language (HTML) tags. 

Webford provides easy access to all of the most commonly used HTML tags. 
It includes useful features such as a wizard, pre-defined forms and
JavaScript functions, and enables you to create Web pages based on your 
own HTML templates. 

Through Webford, text can be formatted to change its appearance and
position, or to make it into a heading, a table, a list, or a link. 
Images and horizontal rules can be specified and inserted, the colours 
and background for a page can be changed with ease, and the system can
even open your favourite browser to let you see how your Web page looks. 
Webford can do all this and much more with a minimum of effort. 

Webford is compatible with Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. 


WHAT DOES WEBFORD COST?
=======================

Webford 2.01 is freeware, available to everyone free of charge.

All I ask in exchange is that if you create Web pages using Webford, 
please include a link to the Webford home page and send me an e-mail so 
that I will know how many people are using the system.

Please send messages, comments, bug reports etc. to:

     jwalsh@cableinet.co.uk
