 Gday people,

 What is Inf-HTML.....

 Inf-HTML is a set of Os/2 applications designed for people who run
 world wide web servers, such as Frankie Fan's Os/2 port of httpd, or
 who wish to provide access via the WWW to information in Os/2 INF/HLP
 files.  The version mentioned here is an Os/2 binary put binaries for
 other systems (such as SunOs and Linux exist!)

 These programs provide
 1. an interface between Os/2 Inf and Hlp files and a webserver.
 2. a way to convert Os/2 Inf/Hlp files to HTML.
 3. a debugging mechanism

 By using these programs it is possible to place Inf and Hlp files,
 or portions of them, on the WWW.

 Inf-HTML.EXE provides "live" access to data within Inf/Hlp files without
 the creation of other files.

 Inf-FILE.EXE converts Inf/Hlp files to a stack of linked HTML files.
 Included is Rony Flatscher's ih2rex package to turn this stack of files
 into a single HTML file - or selective portions into a single HTML file.

 DEBG.EXE is included for anyone interested in the internals of it all.

 For how to use this program, and its limitations etc. see the INF file
 inf-html.inf (view by typing "view inf-html" at the prompt).

 To have a look at some of the output produced by Inf-HTML when used with
 os2httpd v1.04 and WebExplorer beta check out the gifs (article*.gif,

 This product is Email-ware... if you use it then please send me a
 message on how you use it - and if you maintain pages on-line with it
 a URL would be nice too...  All suggestions are taken seriously. (serious
 ones ;-) )  See the documentation for Copyright stuff....
