Convert v0.9ß

Great, just what we need, another HTML-Text converter ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gee thanks... I wrote this on a rainy Saturday afternoon because
I was rather unimpressed with the HTML2TXT converter I had downloaded
from Hobbes. This program requires you to type in the filename of the
HTML file and the filename of the soon to be created Text file.
Well, as the Founder and Archiver of DevBahn - Games, I've got at
least three hundred HTML files to convert to text, so there is no way
I'm going to fool around with something like that ... So rather than
write a CMD file to make this other program work properly, I sat down
and wrote yet another HTML to Text convertor.
If you're an OS/2 Programmer (any skill level, it doesn't matter)
you really should stop by and visit the DevBahn Web Sites. Right now
they are being hosted by GeoCities (until we get our own domain), so
most of the DevBahn Archives are not on the Internet yet. Stop by and
take a look.

This is a beta version, use it at your own risk. But come on, how
bad can it really be, it's just converting HTML files to Text.
Usage
-----
Simply type CONVERT and hit ENTER.. Any HTML files in the current
directory will be converted to Text files. No need to enter filenames
since "Convert" simply replaces the *.HTML extension with *.TXT. That
is why "Convert" is intended to be a "Bulk HTML File Converter".
Limitations
-----------
Here are the known limitations:
- If any Text files already exist with the same name as a newly
converted HTML file they will be overwritten.
- No support for removing JavaScript.
- Text Mode only. No pretty PM interface.
Performance
-----------
Now here is the big selling point ... :) The blazing performance.
"Convert" is hand written entirely in C with Pentium Optimization. It
was run on a PentiumPro 180 w/64MB running Merlin, put in a directory
with around 100 HTML files (totalling 2.3MB), and it finished all the
files in 2 seconds. Try that by hand! :)
Cost/Registering
----------------
Just kidding... It's free. Use it as much as you like. Anywhere
you want to. If it doesn't work right, send me an E-Mail. If you are
really impressed with it and it saves you lots of time, then send me
an E-Mail.
