I had something similar written up that was almost exactly the same, but
stupid AOL converted my fake hyperlinks to real ones and now it's kind of
pointless. :( Some important difference/additions to mine:
-No <HEADER> tag, just <TITLE>
-It was <FONT=SMALL>, or MEDIUM, or LARGE, but I like <F1> better, it's
smaller. :)
-Files used had different extentions. One hyperlink to download a game from my
page read <A HREF="NrdQuest.asm">, and another to download the documentation
read <A HREF="Readme.text">. This way, the extentions are for the calculator,
not for the PC/Mac program. This is easier to use (and probably code) than all
the .89z .89s junk. :)
-There were and <HR> tags. Lines are easy to draw, right? :)
Otherwise, it was exactly the same. Oh, and there was a <TCML> and </TCML>
tag, but this may not even be necessary (we've gotta think about saving
bytes!) If someone enjoys writing this kind of thing, I'm sure that they could
code a "Web Browser" to read these types of files, and then adapt it for
internet use when the software and such are written.
