Templeton Project
Current tools in the Templeton project include:
- Templeton
-
Templeton is a powerful World Wide Web mirroring and mapping tool.
Using Templeton, you can bring remote web pages to your local hard
drive for fast, convenient, reliable, off-line use. Mirrored HTML
documents include working links, images, and sounds! Web browsers
can easily access the retrieved files. Minor HTML corrections (such
as a missing quote) are performed. Templeton is very configurable;
it can generate web site maps, mailing lists, server lists, and much
more. It can easily be included in automated scripts and can be used
to run other applications on the mirrored files.
- Fern
-
Fern is a very configurable HTML syntax checker.
Using Fern, you can check HTML syntax for missing tags, malformed tags,
browser compatability issues, accessability issues, and much more.
- Pwd64
-
Pwd64 is a tool for generating basic WWW-authentication tickets.
It is intended for use with Templeton.
- Reginfo
-
Reginfo is a tool for determining registration information.
The Templeton Project is distributed as shareware, and requires
registration for perminant use.
The Reginfo tool lists your system's information for registration purposes.
The Templeton Project consists of a suite of tools for the
World Wide Web and beyond.
Each of the tools have been designed to simplify or automate web-oriented
tasks.
In particular, each of the applications within the Templeton Project
suite of tools have been designed with the following goals:
- Configurable.
Too often software is narrowly designed, allowing for only a limited
range of use.
Each tool in the Templeton Project is highly configurable, allowing
users to customize how the applications run.
- Independent and Combined.
Some applications are powerful by themselves, but difficult to combine
with other programs.
Other applications are simple and not very useful by themselves,
but become very handy when combined with other applications.
Tools in the Templeton Project are designed to be used
independently, but can be combined with other tools in the suite
to create much more powerful applications.
The specifications of each application are documented, allowing
other people to design and incorporate their own tools for use
with the Templeton Project suite.
- Consistent Use.
Regardless of the operating system or type of computer, each of
the Templeton Project tools looks and works the exact same way.
This reduces the learning curve necessary for using the application
on many different platforms.
- Manual and Automated.
Each tool in the Templeton Project can be started by hand, by a
script, or by another application for automating the task.
