You can: </DIV> <DIV class=s14> <LI>run a program by using a dummy file name. The syntax is <I>prog:dummy.txt</I>, where ".txt" is a Windows registered file extension (i.e. Windows knows how to manage the file; this is true when the proper application is installed <A class=s14 HREF="prog:dummy.txt">click here for an example</A>) </LI></DIV> <DIV class=s14> <LI>run a program or a file by using a relative path (relative to current hypertext). The syntax is: <I>run:path\exename.exe</I> or <I>run:..\mypath\exename.exe</I>. You can also run a file by using <I>filename.ext</I>, where <I>.ext</I> is a Windows registered file extension. </LI></DIV> <DIV class=s14> <LI>run a program or a file on the CD. The syntax is <I>run:cddrive:\mypath\exename.exe</I> (runs the software <I>exename.exe</I> available in the <I>mypath\</I> directory of the CD; you can also run a file as above). The CD drive letter is stored during installation. If the user has many drives, and swaps them, iPer Hyper Publish PRO prompts the user to insert the new path when needed. </LI></DIV> <DIV class=s14> <LI>run a program by storing the command line somewhere in the Windows Registry. This means that an external application must write to the Registry a string that will be used by the iPerReader. The syntax is <I>prog:\software\acme\exename</I>, where that string means that the program path is stored in the key <I>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\acme\</I>, string <I>exename</I> (<A class=s14 HREF="prog:\Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\Viewers\image/bmp">click here for an example</A> that will run the image/bmp viewer of Netscape, if installed; we have used

HyperPublish is the powerful all-in-one tool for creating product catalogs, either from scratch or populated by using database / DB source (Oracle, MySQL, Access, Interbase, SQL server, DB2, Paradox, Fulcrum, Sybase, Fox, DBF, Excel) in CSV format. You have a set of base fields and you can add some custom fields. It can create thumbnail images automatically. Each product may link to a datasheet and/or ZIP file with details and/or audio or video. Everything is fully editable (when using the CSV import you can still edit after the import), you can use and edit templates for product pages, and you can edit all product and categories / subcategories pages after the import. Powerful search feature automatically inserted on the selfinstalling CDROM; keyword search. HyperPublish is also a perfect professional "glue" tool: a program for assembling a rich Website or CD with multiple source documents. Affordable and productive. </DIV> <DIV class=s7>  </DIV> <DIV class=s7> <A class=s7 HREF="http://hyper-publish.com/?hpman">HyperPublish PRO</A> - <A class=s7 HREF="http://www.hyperpublish.com">Create build make web site, CDROM CD and Web catalog catalogue and manual with ease</A> </DIV>
