I believe in giving credit where credit is due.  These pages, and others I have authored, have come to fruition by use of a large variety of freeware and shareware programs, as well as some programs I actually paid full boat for (perish the thought!).  When I use shareware, I pay for it by registering the software if I find it to be useful.  Shareware is a marvelous idea, but only really works if the users actually register the programs.

The way I usually go about bulding a page, is to begin with a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor, while my ideas are fresh in my mind and I can rough out a page quickly.  The WYSIWYG editors I normally use are:

• Netscape Composer, available as part of the Communicator Suite from www.netscape.com
• Microsoft Front Page Express, available as part of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 from  www.microsoft.com

• Microsoft Notepad
• PEDIT, a DOS program editor, available at  http://www.spark.net.hk/~pedit
• TWT Page, a simple HTML editor, available at  http://web.ukonline.co.uk/thomas.turner
• A variety of freeware HTML editors that were downloaded from  www.freewarehome.com , including the following:
• RC Edit
• Web-O-Rama
• Site Aid
• Web Werx
• Web Writer
• To organize images (particularly photographs), I use Pink Mouse's Image Organiser, available at  www.freewarehome.com
• For image alteration, I use Microsoft Paint and Ultimate Paint, also available at  www.freewarehome.com
• To upload files, I use WS_FTP, available at  http://www.csra.net/junodj/ws_ftp.htm

I frequently see pages on the web that proudly proclaim "Made With A Mac". I don't even know how to turn on a Mac. The people who proclaim that they use a Mac must be the same ones who still own a Betamax, an Edsel, and an 8-track tape player. I understand that Apple did it first, and may have done it better, but, unless the IMac really takes off, the war is over. Microsoft won. The only reason I mention this is because I have yet to see a web site proudly proclaiming "Made with a PS-2" or something like that. I own a selection of computers, and they all play a part in the construction of my web pages.  So, I proudly proclaim:

• Made with an IBM PS-2 386 running DOS 6.22
• Made with a Toshiba T4500C 486 laptop running Windows 3.11
• Made with a CTX P-60 running Windows 95 (the original version)
• Made with a no-name P-166 PC (of my own construction) running Windows 95 OSR-2

For reference purposes, this page was constructed using Netscape Composer and Web-O-Rama on the no-name P-166.
