UNHTML v. 1.5 (19/7/1996, Stephen Loomis) Readme/What's new
--==| UNHTML v1.5 |==-- (C)opyright 1996 by Jawed Karim <Jawed.Karim-1@Umn.edu> What's New ========== UNHTML v1.3 --> v1.5 : o The DOS executable has been compiled with a newer version of djgpp. o The manual editing request by unhtml is now optional and can be turned on and off with the -e command line option. o Displaying the output file while processing the input file on screen is optional and is controlled with the -d command line option. o Unhtml's output style has been modified and a small help screen was added. UNHTML v1.0 --> v1.3 : o The output files contain fewer empty lines, thus reducing its size. o An ELF executable for Linux is included. o An editor can be launched after completion to manually edit the output file. o UNHTML counts how many HTML tags were removed. o Special character symbols '&' and ';' no longer cause trouble within '<' and '>'. Instructions ============ UnHTML v1.5 (C)opyright 1996 Jawed Karim <Jawed.Karim-1@Umn.edu> Usage: unhtml <inputfile> <outputfile> [-d][-e] <inputfile> : The file that contains HTML code. <outputfile>: After removing the HTML code, the text will be written to this file. [-d] : Tells Unhtml to display the output file on screen while processing it. [-e] : Causes unhtml to ask the user for manual editing. ==> Edit index.txt manually [y] ? If you would like to edit the output file manually with a text editor, press 'y' at this point. If not, just hit enter. UNHTML will attempt to execute a file, depending on which system you are using. under Linux: command 'pico' will be executed under MSDOS: command 'edit' will be executed under OS/2 : command 'tedit' will be executed Should you get an error message under MSDOS or OS/2, make a batchfile that points to an editor such as the following example of a DOS BATCHFILE: ---CUT HERE--- c:\dos\edit %1 ---CUT HERE--- Save this file as 'EDIT.BAT' in the same path as UNHTML, or have it in a path that is contained in your PATH variable. Accordingly the OS/2 BATCHFILE would look like this: ---CUT HERE--- c:\os2\tedit.exe %1 ---CUT HERE--- Save this file as 'TEDIT.CMD' in the same path as UNHTML, or have it in a path that is contained in your PATH variable. Under Linux, if you get an error message, make a symbolic link that points to whichever editor you use. Name the link 'pico'. For more help, see: man ln OS/2 Warp ========= This executable requires you to have the EMX Runtime version v0.9b or higher. It is available at: ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/unix/emx09b/emxrt.zip This is worth getting since you will be able to use long filenames with UNHTML for OS/2. Linux ===== This ELF executable has been tested under Linux 1.2.13. MSDOS ===== Unless you are running UNHTML for MSDOS in an OS/2, or Windows(95/3.1/NT) DOS window, you need to have the file CWSDPMI.EXE in your path variable, or in the same directory as UNHTML. Where to find updates ===================== New UNHTML versions will be posted on: http://umn.edu/~kari0022 or search for "Jawed Karim" on Yahoo! (http://www.yahoo.com) or email Jawed Karim at: Jawed.Karim-1@umn.edu kari0022@gold.tc.umn.edu
