"Dream Weaver 4"

I'm intending to pick up a copy of Dreamweaver ...

Since I'm currently using V1.2 I figured it was about time I moved up a notch :) ...

However Ive noticed that there is now Dreamweaver and Dreamweaver Ultra Dev...

From what I can gather Ultra Dev is an enhanced Dreamweaver app...

But am I missing the point somewhere? ...

Anyone help?

VenomByte, yeah, Notepad is much easier unless you want to do all those flashy little extras.

Any idea where i can test my scruples and try a free dreamweaver 4?

Dreamwaever 4 is free, if you've no scruples. Then get a time limited demo for it, and then search for a crack. Not that I condone such activities.

For educational purposes only, mind! ;)

I don't use it anyway. Notepad is much easier ;)

To be honest, I don't notice any real difference. I acknowledge that macs are better for graphic design/movie editing in most cases, and I've used Macs for them in the past. There is a difference in Adobe apps, but I haven't seen any with Macromedia ones yet. This pc on win2k can handle anything you throw at it really, doesn't crash, and nice and speedy.

Well maybe if you weren't so predjudiced against the Macs you would see that you are wrong!! I reckon you also think Adobe applications run better or the same on a PC! hehehe

What o/s on the PC? I've been running this PC on 2000 for days without a crash, and the versions are just as functional. That and I'm blatently predjudiced against macs.

Shanks, write your HTML in notepad, be a man!

:-)

Im tempted to get this DW thing, how much is it?

Been using DW4 for a while, and find it nice and comfortable to use, just like the earlier versions. Never used a full copy of UltraDev, I had a trial of v1 once, but it seemed pretty much identical to Dreamweaver, with some extra options and windows in there. You should notice a difference in the front end jumping from 1 -> 4 anyway, just has some extra features there if you want them.

that is a load of crap! designed for the MAC, runs better on the Mac, how do I know, because I stopped using Director7 on my PC and then ran it on my MAC, the differences are amazing, firstly it doesn't hang....etc

Whats the front end like? ... If I picked up Ultra Dev and discovered I only really needed Dreamweaver... am I going to be swamped with irrelivant commands...?

They're all available for the pc, just as good as the mac versions..
