Web-Colour FAQ

• What is Web-Colour?
  Web-Colour is a little program that allows you to visually generate those HTML colour codes.
• How much does it cost?
  Nothing at all! It's absolutely free! Although, if in the kindness of your heart, you see fit to give some cash to a starving university student, I'll take whatever you give me :-)
• What will it run on?
  It will run on anything that will run Windows 3.1 programs. You will need the Visual Basic run-time library: VB40016.DLL. Check your \WINDOWS and \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories for it. If you don't have it, you can get it somewhere on Simtel.
• Why did you write it?
  When I first started making Web pages, I couldn't find anything that would do what I wanted. Therefore, I made my own.
• Will it ever do the whole body tag?
  Probably not, if you're smart enough to do your HTML by hand, you can do the whole body tag. Besides, with Netscape's <FONT COLOR=> tag, it would be a real pain to extract the code you want from the whole tag.
• Will there be a 32 bit version?
  YES! That's what I'm working on next.
• What will you be doing next?
  After releasing the 32-bit version, I might do a JavaScript version of Web-Colour called "Live-Colour". After that, I'll be re-writing Web-Colour in a language that doesn't require as many run-time files (probably C++).
• Hey! You spelled Color wrong!
  No, I spelled it correctly. Since I am a Canadian citizen, I will spell colour the Canadian way, with the U. If I ever do release a version with multiple language support, I will make an American version without using the letter U at all. Yes, I am being sarcastic.
• I have a question that's not in the FAQ. What do I do?
  Don't be afraid to ask me any questions no matter how silly they might sound. If the answer could be of general interest to others, I will include it in the FAQ.
