HTML Executable is a powerfull and easy to use program that can create educational applications by compiling local website files.
All source files - HTML pages, graphics, CSS, JavaScript, Java applets, animated GIF files, Flash SWF and FLV, Acrobat PDF, Powerpoint PPT, audio and video, media files - are compiled into a single .exe file that you distribute to your users.
You can select between three "classes" of ebooks to create: Self-Extracting, featuring a built-in stand-alone HTML Viewer or with the same engine as Internet Explorer.
