Publishing Problem

The problem:

  1. Unix recognizes case.

  2. DOS ignores case; thinks everything is UPPERCASE.

  3. Windows 95 ignores case; tries to Capitalize everything.

  4. What happens when I publish (ftp) from Netscape?

  5. Workarounds:
    1. ``Fix'' links.

    2. Manually rename files on Unix1.

Needed from CS majors:

  1. Perl program to lowercase (why?) all characters in all filenames in current directory.

  2. Needed by next Tuesday.

  3. E-mail solution to me.

  4. Will need to be run each time you publish.

HTML the Old-Fashioned Way

Some tags:

  1. <html>

  2. <head>

  3. <title>

  4. <body>

  5. <h1>

  6. <p> . End not needed.

  7. <hr> . No end.

  8. <br> . No end.

  9. <a> : href= , mailto: .

  10. <img> : src= . No end.

  11. <i>

  12. <b>

How is an HTML file like a Perl program file? Are there similarities? Keywords.
