Installing PARSEC and the Worked Example
To install, copy the supplied directory to your Hard Drive's top level directory as \Plasma. To uninstall, simply delete the \Plasma directory.
The PARSEC executable is a simple DOS program that is contained in the \Plasma\Programs sub-directory. It will not change your computers registry settings.
The Website Worked Example has been tested under Windows 98 and Windows XP.
Quick Start
After you have downloaded the Plasma directory from the UltraDark Website you will probably want to start generating code as quickly as possible.
Go to the Commands sub directory and run the batch file Gen.bat that will generate a complete Website from the supplied templates.
A Home page for the new Website (called homepage.htm) is created in the \Plasma\Applications\Bin sub directory. Load it into your Browser by double clicking on it. You may want to check there were no files in the Bin directory before you ran the batch file.
To prove PARSEC is actually generating HTML code from scratch you can make a change and regenerate the Website. Start with something simple.
For example, why not update the top of page Banner heading with your own name? You just need to edit the Banner object file in \Plasma\Metadata\Website\Domain\BNR.txt. Simply change the string "PARSEC Website Worked Example" to your own name. If your name has spaces in it, keep the quotes. When you run the batch file (Gen.bat) again and refresh the page in your Browser by pressing the F4 key, you'll see all the web pages have your name on!
You can even add more pages and create a links to them from the Home Page in the same way.
