ExSite WebwareThe web has changed. It used to be a
place for browsing simple HTML documents, but increasingly it is being
used as a means of delivering Internet Applications. Web sites
that were once simple collections of "flat files" are increasingly
bring replaced by or augmented with complicated software systems. ExSite Webware manages your applications, content, users, databases,
input and output, and security. It does this in a way that allows
any number of domains, sites, applications, databases, and users to
share the same system without getting in each others' way.

TinyMCE is an experimental feature in this release, and is not enabled by default. To enable it on your website, take the following steps:
- ensure that the new CGI program dlg.cgi is present in your CGI-BIN directory
- add the configuration setting form.editor = tinymce to your exsite.conf file
Otherwise the standard ExSite HTML editor will be used.
