map2HTML is a utility for quickly converting NCSA server image maps into client-side maps, suitable for pasting into web pages.
To use, simply drop a text file containing the image map data onto map2HTML’s icon. The map will be read, and converted into HTML <MAP> tags, which will be written to a file:
imagemapname.out
in the same folder as the original NCSA map. map2HTML was written specifically for use with Rowland Smith’s WebMap, though it should work without problems with any maps in NCSA format.
In addition to the standalone application, a filter is included for users of Peter Keleher's Alpha text editor — simply drop map2HTML.pl in your text filters folder: it is designed to work with any version of Alpha or Alpha Lite which uses tab stops in HTML mode.
map2HTML is voluntary e.mail-ware: if you use it, I’d like to know. Future releases of are entirely dependent upon public interest. Feel free to contact me with gripes, rants, flames, and suggestions as well.
Note: map2HTML is a Perl droplet—i.e., you must have MacPerl installed in order to run it... I considered offering this as a standalone runtime, but cannot justify a 960k droplet.
