This is to announce the release of MakeHTM v1.00, which has been uploaded to
various ftp sites. MakeHTM is a FREEWARE command-line program that parses
text files and converts them to HTML format. The package contains DOS,
Windows, and OS/2 (16-bit) versions of the program. You can get a copy of
MakeHTM from the following places:
ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/ibmpc/html/makehtm.zip
micros.hensa.ac.uk/micros/ibmpc/os2/f/f008/makehtm.zip
ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/incoming/makehtm.zip
Long description:
This program is a simple command line program that converts
ASCII files to HTML format suitable for WWW browsers (such as
Mosaic, Netscape, and Cello).
The package consists of DOS, Windows, and OS/2 (16-bit) versions
of the program.
Files:
-----
1. MAKEHTM.EXE (Dos and Windows version - "bound" executable)
2. MAKEOS2.EXE (Dos and OS/2 version - "bound" executable)
3. MAKEHTM.TXT (This file)
4. MAKEHTM.INI (optional INI file containing codes)
5. SAMPLE.SRC (sample source file for MAKEHTM)
6. SAMPLE.HTM (output - HTML file for Chief's Installer Pro)
The "bound" executables referred to above each contain 2 program
modules - each contains a DOS program, which will execute as a DOS
program if it is run from a DOS prompt. But each also contains either
a Windows program (MAKEHTM.EXE) or an OS/2 program (MAKEOS2.EXE) which
will run as a native Windows or OS/2 program if run from Windows, or
from an OS/2 prompt, respectively.
OPERATION
---------
This program works by taking an ascii file as the input file, and then
writing out an HTML file as the output file. The input file will
contain embedded codes which represent HTML formatting codes. The
embedded codes can either be in normal HTML language (which will be left
intact), or in the form of codes supported by MAKEHTM (which will be
converted to the specified HTML code). The program can also take an HTML
file (or a MakeHTM source file) and strip out all the formatting codes,
converting it to just an ascii file.
MAKEHTM contains 61 built-in codes, and you can obtain a list of them
by typing:
MAKEHTM /LIST
(this presents a list of the built-in MAKEHTM codes, and what
they will be translated to in the HTML output file)
In addition to these 61 built-in codes (which can all be changed in an INI
file), MAKEHTM also supports up to 20 user-defined codes.
Supplied as FREEWARE.
