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,
toc*.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....

applications online may be a violation of copyright. For example,
the Os/2 online docs (like the commmand reference used in the gif
file examples) should not be placed online.
