Creating a web document in Windows

Once you have made a copy of your favourite web page, you can edit the raw HTML with vi or emacs (which is what I generally do), or use a web assistant. If you have the money, I strongly urge you to buy Dreamweaver ($172 from UCS) or Go Live ($295 from UCS). These easily produce web pages that are acceptable to the University web police.

If you don't have the money, there are plenty of cheap (free) alternatives, including Netscape's built-in editor (tolerable) and Microsoft WORD (absolutely awful). To begin with, try Netscape's built-in File/Edit Page facility. It's not great, but will get you started without going to much trouble.
