What is bn2html?

   bn2html is a utility for converting text files written in a specified
   format to an html file that you can view using Netscape in a bengali
   font. The current version of bn2html works only on X windows. You
   need Netscape Navigator version 3.0 onwards for using this package. 

How to install bn2html?

   * Decompress and unpack the file bwfu1.0-bn2html.tar.gz:
   
      gunzip bwfu1.0-bn2html.tar.gz
      tar xvf bwfu1.0-bn2html.tar

   * Go to the bn2html directory
   * Decide a directory to store the character map file bn.enc.
     Say it is <encdir>. 
   * Copy bn.enc to <encdir>.
   * Edit the source bn2html.c.
   * Change the line 

        #define ENCFNAME "/usr/local/lib/bn2html/bn.enc"

     to point to the encoding file (bn.enc) for later use by bn2html.
   * Compile bn2html.c. For example,

           gcc -o bn2html bn2html.c

   * Install the executible (bn2html) in a suitable place (say, /usr/local/bin).
