It is an "information manager" meant for organizing your personal projects, notes and files. It renames your files using 40 character alpha-numerical files names that look like this: 0A8B471BD725046C8A35B81892B1F8DE871270F1.html dumps them all into two folders (documents and images) and creates an index you use to access them. Like all word processor generated web pages, it writes bloated HTML. But the real problem with using TreePad to create a USGenWeb site is that the files can not be identified unless you are using TreePad. If the TreePad generated site is turned over to someone else, they can't edit, move, or rename a file because they have no way of changing the program generated index. All the files have to be identified, renamed, and sorted into appropriate folders before you can even begin a redesign. If any of you have CCs who are using TreePad to create their web site, you can anticipate a real headache when that CC resigns. It is just my personal opinion, but I would not allow the use of TreePad for any USGenWeb site. I know there are people who know a lot about a county but next to nothing about HTML and don't want to learn. Rather than resorting to an automated program that creates a problem, find an assistant CC who can do the HTML. My two cents, Pat Asher
