# PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM
The purpose of this program is to automatically compile directory
overviews into one or more HTML files which then can be viewed with a
browser.
It can be used to compile any directory overviews, but was primarily
written to get a more or less comfortable overview of the ever growing
number of HTML files which find their way on the local hard disk these
days.
When HTML files are found the program will extract the document title
and display it in the overview. This is especially useful when you
have to deal with cryptic filenames which will not let you get any
idea of the contents of the document itself.
If you are using the Netscape browser the program will make use of
Javascript for extended information about the files found like file
size, file date etc.
# PREREQUISITES
You should have OS/2 and classic REXX installed.
# USER SETUP
None.
# CALLING SYNTAX
The calling syntax will be also shown to you if you call the program
without any commandline arguments.
dirmap [/a /1 /2 /3 /n<map.htm> /-<def...>] <filemask> [...]
/a: scan all disk drives
/1: one HTML page for all files (default)
/2: one HTML page per drive
/3: one HTML page per directory
/n: name of root page (default: dirmap.htm)
/-: drives to be excluded
Examples:
dirmap c:\netscape\cache\*.*htm? g:\hypertxt\html\*.*
=> Compile an overview for the two directories given and
put it on one page, the root page. Look for HTML files
only in the first directory and for all files in the
second directory given.
dirmap /a /3 /-ij *.*htm? *.gif *.jp*g
=> Compile an overview for all disk drives, but exclude drive
i: and drive j:. Look for HTML, GIF and JPEG files and make
one HTML page for every directory.
# PROGRAM OUTPUT
The program output depends on which commandline arguments are used and
can get huge. It's a good idea to call the program in an empty
directory especially when you plan to use commandline argument /3.
E.g. when I call the program with commandline argument /3 on my home
PC it compiles 670 files resulting in approximately 4 megabytes.
# DISCLAIMER AND CREDITS
This program is freeware. You may use it in any context, commercial
or private. However I would appreciate if you send me an eMail if
you use it and say hello.

PLEASE USE THIS PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK. You may freely use and

I originally wanted to call this program 'dir2html', but found out
that there already is a program out there with that name.
Thanks to Michel Plungjan <mplungjan@epo.nl> for testing this program
under Windows NT. (It failed.)
I also sent this program out to some beta testers, but never heard of
any of those again. It either means the program had no bugs or it
didn't fit their needs and they threw it away ;-)
# BUG REPORT, COMMENTS ETC.
It would like to hear your comments, both positive and negative. The
program does a satisfying job as far as myself is concerned, so if you
want it to be developed further, you should say so.
