0 This program converts Digital's DCL HELP files # (.HLP suffix) to - HTML, the Hypertext Markup Language used = on the Web. Separate files are produced for different levels : in the HELP hierarchy, preserving the hierarchical nature< of the Help information, and allowing use of the browser's < Back command. The Hypertext ouput may be generated with the? pre-formatted flag set (<pre>); the user may remove this < and refine the presentation after conversion. Alternatively6 the input file may be pre-edited to preserve criticalC text formatting using the <pre> and </pre> directives.
> Usage : the program expects a Help file prefix, eg. "FOOBAR".; It will then read FOOBAR.HLP, creating the Hypertext files A FOOBAR.HTML,FOOBAR_1.HTML,FOOBAR_2.HTML, etc. plus FOOBAR.HREF, : a list of the references created which may be used to add' further cross-references manually.
A Depending on the layout of the original .HLP file, the hypertext @ output may start either in FOOBAR.HTML or in FOOBAR_1.HTML.
B The C version takes the file prefix together with the -pre optionA from the command line; the FORTRAN version prompts the user.
