This product is like magic! It even converts footnotes in documents, with aplomb! Adobe must be shaking in its boots-I'll certainly never need PageMill again!
Great utility! Makes mocking up a web page as easy as pie.
Great for taking existing papers and turning them into HTML. TONS better than MS Internet Assistant.
What a great idea! I'm glad you thought of it first. It certainly beats screwing around with PageMill and the host of other such applications.
I've been putting off Web pages for months/years, Desperately Seeking Simplicity with the old brain on overload. Then I found your program from one of the Mac support sites.
In-freaking-credible! On Monday I signed up for a Web site, played around with Communicator, learned about Fetch, "saved" a Quark page -- and by last night I had a page up and running.
I'm sorry, but I can't condone this sort of thing! Myrmidon gets dangerously close to creating code and pages that are as clean and clever as anything I could have done myself with BBedit. I mean, how am I going to continue pulling the wool over my client's eyes when there's software like this around?
Truly though, keep up the absolutely amazingly good work.
We are a pre-press/electronic DTP training school. PageMill is one of our newer courses that we offer. Downloaded your app - and its going to make me redundant! Its wonderful - the graphic exports are very reliable and small and for me to get the same effect out of Frehand or Photoshop takes some juggling. Well done. Thanks for a great product.
There is no option for me, Myrmidon is the best. My job would be impossible without it. A great concept, a great product, a necessary addition to every webpage designers toolbox. Keep up the good work!
I have tried a number of different programs which all propose in one way or another to do what you said your program does...After downloading the demo I opened a ten page Quark document with three columns of text and a couple of headers on various pages and "printed" it to Myrmidon then opened it up in Netscape. Expecting another mess of garbled text and badly formatted tables I could hardly believe my eyes!
This has to be one of the coolest and most effective programs I have on my computer (and believe me I've got a lot of programs). I read on your site people saying "I can't believe no one has thought of this before", problem is people have, they just couldn't get their programs to work!!!
Thanks so much
I downloaded Myrmidon, and gave it a go. I was so impressed! I was just cackling at my computer when it translated a 20 page document into HTML with consumate ease. Gosh I wish I had this about 2 years ago.
The presentation at the local MacExpo was definitely the most incredible thing I've ever seen related to web-desing! This is what web-designing ought to have always been!
This product is just too awsome to pass up. I usually hand code using BBEdit, but this work you've put together is massive. I wish I knew about it before I put together my latest homepage - Great job.
We're very impressed with Terry Morse Myrmidon. Your image-to-gif conversion produces better results than my own novice Photoshop efforts. I've recommended this highly to my art director for purchase, especially considering it's low price compared to the competition.
I just downloaded your beta today, installed it, and put a fairly complex single-page Word document (3 columns, multiple fonts, several graphics, including one spanning the second two columns) through it.
I was astounded...Myrmidon could save me so much work I can hardly believe it.
I just installed 2.0 did a quick read of the guide and a few quick tests.

I spend 15 hours a day creating/converting data to html (CyberStudio & BBEdit my tools of choice), for me this is a VERY VERY cool tool and MUST have for any Web Developer. The output was perfect on all of the test documents.
A few months ago, I was tasked with evaluating software for the purpose of converting all of our documentation to html. I tested several programs. Of all the programs tested, Myrmidon completed the task faster, easier, and better (sounds like a Six Million Dollar Man intro) than the other programs. And, it cost less. In comparison to one product, it was $700.00 cheaper.
I am a graphic designer and have to design web pages for the company I work for and out of all the products that I have tried (PageMill 2, Home Page, CyberPress and BeyondPress) yours looks the most promising. Please keep me informed on when the final version ships cos you've sold me a copy!
I just picked up three copies of Myrmidon from The Mac Zone, and I'm absolutely delighted with the package. I'm sure you've heard it before, but Myrmidon is simply fantastic...Thanks for a great product.
Tried it this evening. I'm very impressed. It takes the drudgery out, leaving more time to do the creative tweeking. I'm amazed that no one thought of the printer driver approach before. That's using your noodle! ;-)
Bravo!
I just wanted to drop you a quick note telling you how impressed I am with Myrmidon. A faculty member gave me 20 MacDraw files and asked me to convert it to HTML so he could add it to his course web site. I initally fumbled about trying to take screen shots and then converting them to gif files, but that was getting me no where fast. I then looked on the web and downloaded the 2.0b7 version of Myrmidon. It was a lifesaver!
By simply 'printing' the MacDraw files to Myrmidon, I was able to convert them to web pages.
Thanks for making and supporting a great product for the Mac!
Very cool program. A lot of people w/o HTML capable software need to know about Myrmidon!
Great software! I am enrolled in a distant learning program and have been posting my schoolwork to my web page, and your program works really well. I especially like the way it makes an automatic table of contents, which is useful for getting around in my own study notes.
Myrmidon is the perfect HTML generator. It's the way things should be, and I am glad it's Mac-only!
Excellent product, 5 star, saves a bundle of time and makes html a kids work!! God bless you, guys. I am very thankful of your product and I use it a lot.
Finally web publishers have a tool that frees them up from the task of doing HTML for complex pages. Not only is the code there but it is also clean and easy to find where things are marked up. This is the most powerful tool for outputting thousands of pages for the web. If you're into web publishing...this is a must have tool in any publishers toolbox.
To say I was impressed with your newest Web software, well, it`s bounds ahead of the competition. I am a Web creator of Japanese homepages here in Japan and I`ve just ordered your complete package courtesy of MacWarehouse.
Let me say what a killer product you have here! I DL'ed the demo a few days ago and immediately converted a few of our legacy policies and procedures which are in Word format. Your product is fabulous! It immediately does what it says and very simply. What a time saver!
One of the greatest time saving utilities ever made. If it was any cheaper it would be a crime to own it.
Thanks for a fantastic piece of software, I just can't believe how well it works, and how easy! This is one of those pieces of software that has me scratching my head, "how'd they do that????"
I have shown your demo version to many schools, and they have all said "It can't be that easy...... Could it?" Thanks for such cool software :-)
I just finished trying it out on a 42 page document I had to format quickly for our site. This is an amazing piece of software! It's really a free product, because if you do as much raw data posting as I have to do - such as the entire year's course listings and calendars for the College of General Studies at U Penn - it is going to pay for itself very quickly!
I just used Myrmidon for the first time and have to say that you have a definite winner!
Best html conversion utility I've seen yet. Like you said. Way cool.
This is an absolutely phenomenal tool! Looks to me like it'll cut through about 95% of the work of converting legacy documents to html.
Once a month I get emailed a densely packed MS work document that I am supposed to post to our web page. We used to html-ify it by hand. Now I use Myrmidon. Takes about 15 minutes TOTAL. I think it's great.
This is the perfect program for our fantasy (sports) leagues; it saves me so much time, it's incredible! I am estimating it will save me about 10-12 hours per week not having to re-create tables! I cannot emphasize enough what a time saver this is for league commissioners!
I recently purchased two copies of Myrmidon for where I work (Macomb ISD) and we are using your product to convert existing documents into web pages. It has worked well. I just converted a Claris Works spread sheet with five or six columns and about 25 rows into a web page in a few seconds....I am very impressed with your product.
When I heard about Myrmidon at an Apple Computer new product disclosure, I was thrilled. Now, the person that types the school newsletter in ClarisWorks encloses a copy of it on QuickMail and e-mails it to me. Then, I retrieve the enclosure, open it in Myrmidon, and save it to the proper folder on the web server. No more retyping, no more html coding, and about 4 hours more time for me to do other tasks each month. That is Continual Process Improvement in action! Thanks for the product and please send any upgrades my way!

I've tried, if not all, then many of the Mac HTML editors around including Claris Home Page, Netscape Navigator Gold 3.0, RTF to HTML 3.0, Adobe PageMill 2.0 Beta, etc etc. Myrmidon, from just one glance, smacks the bums of the lot of 'em: No more fiddling and doodling, no more agonizing.
I had a 100+ page bibliography to convert to HTML, and I was stuck. None of my standard ways of converting the document were able to get the citations with their italic text right. Somebody suggested Myrmidon, so I downloaded the freeware version, installed it, opened the file and printed it to Myrmidon. Boom! In less than a minute my hundred-page document was ready to go, beautifully done and with a nice little hyperlinked table of contents thrown in. Saved the day!
I run a successful web-based multimedia company and our most used product (by far) is Myrmidon. It's invaluable. We update web pages for people who work with all types of software: Word, PageMaker, etc... And when they want their website updated, they want it now. With Myrmidon, we can update immediately. And with the sheer volume of updating that we have to do, we don't have time to mess around with those other web creation tools. With Myrmidon, it's just print and go. What could be simpler?
I work with district and campus level technology specialists who are just starting to explore the possibilities of publishing on the internet or local intranets. When I show them Myrmidon and explain what it does their eyes light up. Here is a product that can take existing content produced by students and teachers regardless of format (ClarisWorks, Word, etc.) and produce Web pages in one step. They can go from zero to a Web site in no time. It's a real time saver and makes them look great.
Way to go Terry!
My web site includes a lot of fiction by different authors. Myrmidon is the one tool that will produce consistently formatted HTML from a variety of file formats. It's a big timesaver.
I'm a computer consultant for Hydro-Québec, THE electric utility in Québec. As a consultant I must always find newer and faster ways to do things for my clients. In the last months, I have been helping a group of few people here to create an important Web site for electricity commercialization. Myrmidon was a terrific helper to impress the group. In about 10 minutes I was able to convert a hundred pages Word document. Myrmidon is so simple and ingenious. Thanks!
The html conversion capabilities of Myrmidon are fantastic. So simple to use, yet extremely effective. When setting up for our brand new intranet we had to train a group of new internet users to produce html pages. They all breathed a very visible sigh of relief when introduced to Myrmidon as they were dreading the thought of having to learn about html tags.
