Matterform Media released its first commercial software product in 1994. The HTML Grinder was a tool for making changes across many Web pages at once.
Although we no longer sell the HTML Grinder, it offered certain features that are still hard to reproduce in the latest generation of Web site editors.
Link Mapper is the first of a suite of new, inexpensive, modern utilities to help Web developers and to replace the functions that our loyal users continue to ask us for.
Following are all the plug-in tools or "wheels" that were available in the last version of the HTML Grinder. If you are interested in seeing one or more of these tools become a new product, please let us know.
