Notes on the Beta release 1.00 of AscToHTM
==========================================

Thank you for downloading the AscToHTM conversion software.  This software has
been developed under VMS in C++, but is believed to be largely platform
independant.

The Beta release of this software is being made available to VMS users, and
will shortly thereafter be made available to Windows and other users.

The AscToHTM home page is currently

      http://www.yrl.co.uk/~jaf/asc2html.html

The on-line documentation can be found at

      http://www.yrl.co.uk/~jaf/A2H.HTM

You can download your own version of this documentation.  Details are at

      http://www.yrl.co.uk/~jaf/a2hdownload.html

Should the AscToHTM pages ever move, you can re-locate them by going to

      http://www.altavista.digital.com/

and entering

      +"John A Fotheringham" +AscToHTM


Running the software
====================

Under VMS you'll probably want to define a foreign command such as

      ASCTOHTM :== $DKA0:[ASCTOHTM]ASCTOHTM

although it will run in a limited form from the command line.


Registering the software
========================
This software is offered without warranty as shareware.  Try it before you
buy it.  Then BUY IT!  To register your copy of the software, visit

      http://www.yrl.co.uk/~jaf/a2hregister.html

I'd like to make this software free to FAQ maintainers, and dirt cheap to 
everyone else.  If you're a FAQ maintainer, please email me with details
(see contact address below).


Warranty
========
Please don't make any safetly critical applications such as Nuclear Power
plants depend on it .... it's just not *that* good (yet) :-)



Contacts
========
Any problems or feedback should be mailed to jaf@yrl.co.uk.  I'm particularly
open to bug reports and suggested improvements.

Please note, this is a solitary human being who has other work to do, likes to 
sleep at night and occasionaly goes on holiday, so regrettably a prompt reply 
to your enquiry cannot always be guaranteed.

Once again, thanks for looking
