What is SPIS Webview?

SPIS Webview is an offline web page browser. That means you can use it any time you like, on any computer you like without having a connection to the Internet!

Here are four excellent reasons to use Webview:

  1. It's small -- if you need to visit someone to show them some web pages, you could fit Webview and the pages on a single floppy disk!
  2. No fiddly connection problems. While it is possible to use most regular web browsers without an Internet connection, it can sometimes be a tricky and time-consuming job persuading them to do so.
  3. It's capable. Currently, Webview supports HTML 3.2 and most popular HTML 3.0 features, as well as having some useful extensions for Windows, such as being able to play sound files directly, or run external programs (for example, use Notepad to edit this page).
  4. It's adaptable. In addition to using Webview's standard features, you can have SPIS Ltd make you personalised, custom versions of Webview for purposes such as:

We encourage you to try SPIS Webview out by looking through the rest of these sample pages (including our Special Features) and, of course, at your own favourite web pages.

Note: The only essential files for using SPIS Webview are WEBVIEW.EXE, ILIB31HT.DLL and WEBVIEW.INI. Keep them all together in one directory and you'll be fine.

Runtime Version

Note: the inexpensive "Runtime" version allows you to distribute unlimited copies and provides all standard features. However, the File|Open option is disabled, meaning the user can only view the files you distribute with Webview. If you want to use one or more of the "per copy" Options with the Runtime or Unlimited Copies licenses, contact us for pricing.
