050601 - Follow up ref SDS 4 3051, ref SDS 3 2588.
050602 -
050603 - Installed MS FrontPage 98, Internet Explorer 4.1 and Image Maker. The
050604 - Internet Explorer program included code that provides an optional
050605 - different desktop environment that works similar to Web browsers.  I
050606 - tried this and for decided to use the conventional desktop, because
050607 - the Web Browser option for the desktop is black and so is harder to
050608 - see.
050609 -
050610 - The "Explorer" program was also changed, but differences in
050611 - performance are not evident.

051007 - This morning, I returned the Adobe PageMill CD and the manual to
051008 - Bill at his PG&E office.
051009 - ..
051010 - He loaned me the CD for Microsoft FrontPage 98, which he

051019 - When I started to install this, got a message that we do not have a
051020 - "Personal Web Server" it recommends this be installed first and asks
051021 - if I want to do it.
051022 -
051023 - I clicked yes and this was installed.
051024 -
051025 - Installation of FrontPage was interrupted again saying we do not have
051026 - any of the files needed to establish we are entitled to install the
051027 - FrontPage 98 Upgrade.
051028 -
051029 - I logged onto the Net to try and find a way to get an earlier version

090702 - Installed MS Internet Explorer 4.01 and FrontPage Express
090703 -
090704 - Follow up ref SDS 2 1331.
090705 - ..
090706 - I logged onto Microsoft's Web page and it offered a free
090707 - download of MS Internet Explorer 4.01. It said the download includes a
090708 - copy of...
090709 -
090710 -                       FrontPage Express
090711 -
090712 -     ...with the program.
090713 - ..
090714 - I decided to download this free improvement to Internet
090715 - Explorer. It provides a comparable Microsoft Web browser to Netscape
090716 - 4.0 which was acquired a week or so ago. ref SDS 2 1331
090717 - ..
090718 - Possibly it improves upon the current version of Internet
090719 - Explorer which does not seem to support opening HTML files stored on
090720 - the local hard drive, when called from a link in an HTML file open in
090721 - the browser, per our planning for the Communication Metrics Web site.
090722 - ref SDS 5 5147.
090723 -
090724 -     Turns out, the new version 4.01 does not seem to do this, which is
090725 -     supported by Netscape. ref SDS 5 5147

090727 -         [On 980304 called Microsoft, they could not solve problem. ref
090728 -         SDS 7 0974]
090729 -
090730 - It also provides a program which FrontPage Express can upgrade (this
090731 - turned out not to work, ref SDS 0 4608).

090735 -     Download Took 6 Hours, About 60MB
090736 -
090737 -     Initially I downloaded a setup file called:
090738 -
090739 -                        IE4SETUP EXE
090740 -
090741 -         ...this was put in
090742 -
090743 -                         c: sd 10
090744 -
090745 -     The instructions were run this IE4SETUP EXE file while still
090746 -     logged onto the Internet.
090747 -
090748 -         After getting the thing installed, I noticed there is a copy
090749 -         of the file in the setup directory:
090750 -
090751 -                    i: Internet Explorer 4.0 Setup
090752 -     ..
090753 -     I ran the ie4setup.exe file by clicking on it from the
090754 -     Explorer listing, and it then performed a download that indicated
090755 -     about 25 MB of stuff was involved.  However, the IBM Dialer
090756 -     recorded that actually nearly 60 MB of stuff was downloaded. After
090757 -     the download was completed which took nearly 6 hours, the setup
090758 -     program seems to have converted the downloaded files into Interned
090759 -     Explorer files.  It is unclear whether the downloaded files remain
090760 -     in their original form on the disk.
090761 -
090762 -     This is troubling because
090763 -
090764 -                     i: 00 26 micros~1
090765 -
090766 -          ...properties shows only...

090769 -                      58 Files
090770 -                       7 Folders
090771 -     ..
090772 -     Actually, it looks like the setup file was put in a
090773 -     directory:
090774 -
090775 -               i: Internet Explorer 4.0 Setup
090776 -
090777 -        ...it seems to have about 25 MB of stuff, indicating that the
090778 -        60MB downloaded may have been recording some kind of checking
090779 -        process on the 25 MB of stuff that was actually downloaded.
090780 -
090781 -        [See follow up showing I drive has only 68 MB free. ref SDS 6

090785 -  ..
090786 - Installed MS Internet Explorer, Version Unclear
090787 -
090788 - The Microsoft offer indicated this was downloading version 4.01.
090789 - Installation seemed to indicate it is only version 4.0.  Having
090790 - installed it, the Properties folder shows:
090791 -
090792 -                     Version 4.72.2106.1
090793 -
090794 -     ...there is a boot screen that opens that permits exploring these
090795 -     new features.  It indicates we have version 4.01.

090797 - Wanted to install MS Explorer in:

090800 -
090801 -    ...however we already have Explorer v 3.0 in directory:
090802 -
090803 -                          i: 00 26 micros~1
090804 -
090805 -    ...therefore, to avoid initial mishaps in installation, I put the
090806 -    new version in this prior directory.

090811 - FrontPage Express Did Not Permit Installation of FrontPage 98
090812 -
090813 - Installation of Internet Explorer 4.01 seems to have also installed
090814 - FrontPage Express, but it did not permit or enable installation of the
090815 - FrontPage 98 upgrade, per below. ref SDS 0 4608
090816 -
090817 - I tried FrontPage Express on editing the Communication Metrics
090818 - report, but it did not seem to do anything helpful.

090824 - Desktop Option to Use Web Browser Interface
090825 -
090826 - This new version of Intenet Explorer, included an option to install an
090827 - alternate W95 desktop.
090828 -
090829 - The option is in
090830 -
090831 -                        Start
090832 -                        Settings
090833 -                        Active Desktop
090834 -                        View as Web Page
090835 -
090836 -     The idea seems to be to provide manuverability for the desktop
090837 -     that is comparable to that for a Web browser.

090840 -
090841 -  ..
090842 - Explorer Disk Directory Applies Web Browser Features
090843 -
090844 - The program also installed a different program for searching disk
090845 - directories.
090846 -
090847 - The original program is:
090848 -
090849 -                    i: 00 26 explorer.exe
090850 -
090851 - We seem to have a new program.  The properties show it as:
090852 -
090853 -                    i: 00 26 explorer.scf
090854 -
090855 -    ...however, when we examine the i: 00 26 directory, there is no
090856 -    file called
090857 -
090858 -                         explorer.scf
090859 -
090860 -    ...there is a file called simply:
090861 -
090862 -                         explorer
090863 -
090864 -       ...and it seems to have the same icon as the version on the
090865 -       desktop that shows
090866 -
090867 -                         explorer.scf
090868 -
090869 -       ...however this file is only 1K.
090870 -
090871 -
090872 -       ...the size of the explorer.exe file is 166K and it is dated
090873 -       971118, which is the same date as the explorer file, so it
090874 -       appears these are related such that explorer somehow calls
090875 -       explorer.exe, and that latter was replaced.
090876 -
090877 - So, I am assuming the old program has been replaced rather than
090878 - supplemented.

110502 - FrontPage 98 Upgrade Would Not Install with FrontPage Express
110503 -
110504 - After completing installation of Internet Explorer, I tried to install
110505 - the FrontPage 98 upgrade again.
110506 -
110507 - Got same message during installation that we do not have a file that
110508 - establishes entitlement to install and upgrade for FrontPage 98.
110509 -
110510 - I called Bill.  He said his son, Jim, has the CD for FrontPage 97
110511 - which has the files we need to use the upgrade for FrontPage 98.  Jim
110512 - is visiting Bill on Saturday, so I can get the CD from Bill when I

110933 - FrontPage Supports Adding Improvements to SDS HTML Files
110934 -
110935 - This has an Editing Mode which offers three different views of the
110936 - file that are easy to select:
110937 -
110938 -      a.  Normal Mode...for editing similar to MS Word methods and
110939 -          shows some control, such as line breaks.
110940 -
110941 -      b.  HTML Mode... shows specific HTML code and permits making
110942 -          changes, unlike PageMill which only permitted changes in the
110943 -          Normal mode equivalent.
110944 -
110945 -      c.  Preview mode... shows what will appear on the Web browser and
110946 -          cannot be edited.
