Hi
I'm using TopPage,
which is rather nice compare to Amaya or composer,
but it's not a competitor to DreamWeaver;
and I only can run it from root.
Did you encounter the same problem ?

The point is that Linux and its applications are traditionally
products using the GPL or LGPL under the auspices of the Free
Software Foundation, and that is the implicit assumption for anything
Linux.

While commercial Linux applications are perfectly possible,
discussion of them here, unless their commercial nature is made plain
up front, will lead people to assume they are also available under
the GPL licensing scheme.

For a commercial product such as IBM's TopPage, the value to a
prospective purchaser is a function of many things, including its
ability to more than pay for itself (say > 10 times) by generating
new revenue to the purchaser.   Unless he can be firmly assured of
that he will not buy - how then is his expenditure of time until 2000
12 31 to be brought to account?

Hi Deryk, 
yeah, have tried it, but seems not be able to run with 24 or 32 bits. Get also
only a silent prompt back. From the support-line I haven't got an answer yet.
So am working (better playing around) with setting X to 16 bit.

How is your impression about - is it looking good and useable for you ?
I have a good feeling about. But am missing some example-files like backgrounds.
Have you found some ?

Has anyone tried it with the updated win-toppage (0.92?) which
allegedly does 24-bit colour? I installed it and when I type toppage

That's me too. Have resolved also my problems with your hint :

Hi Ron,
why do you have reservations for such dates ? As long as such programs are
usefull, you can use it. And if 12. 31 is coming in your near environment, and
there is no comparable application, and - maybe, the price is not too bad -
hmm, you can buy it or leave it. So you have your time to decide, is it the
worth for you or not.

Think, such applications, assumed the price is okay, have there worth in any
way in comparation to such a thing like they are coming from Redmond or the
area of there. With such applications like "winsel" you have to pay a lot of
unnecessary money and you get a very very Beta-release of OS.

"winsel" is a typical german word and says whimper in english.

So my advice would be, dont't have a fear for that date - try it by yourself
also and you have your choice or not - you can believe me.

Good - or not ?

When you downloaded Toppage for Linux did you download the other rpm,
Toppage-Wine on their site?  You need both of these prgs from their site.

toppage-0.9-1.i386.rpm
toppage-wine-0.9-1.i386.rpm

All I did was rpm these two files following the instructions and it worked.  The
only problem I had was the menus started then magically disappeared. You
have to set X graphics to 16 bit and it solved the problem for me.  I'm one of
those guys who usually starts reading only when things go wrong!

As far as Wine goes it was installed with my initial setup of Mandrake and that
is all I did with it.  I never set it up to use Windows. So I can't tell you if
that other rpm (Toppage-Wine) is a stand on it's own type program or you need
Wine installed? 

The whole thing is worth the effort it's a pretty nice program. Does it all
from creating web pages, text art, animation, then uploads it for you to your
web site.

John.

I've never used WINE, so this is a shot in the dark. Perhaps you should be
using:

toppage_wine /usr/local/toppage/bin/toppage.exe -e

hi,

calling toppage_wine /usr/local/toppage/bin/toppage -e results in

wine : can't exec '/usr/local/toppage/bin/toppage -e' : error=0

Unfortunatly the pdf-doc tells only something about windows-installation and
