     This consists of a set of two scripts:

     o text2html ... converting text files to html
     o html2text ... converting html files to text

     These are absolutely elementary often needed  utilities. The
     text2html script  converts any text file to HTML ( a  format 
     which can be read by any browser. The original formatting of 
     the text file is preserved. 
     
     You may like to see the README.html file within this tarball 
     as well, in any browser ...  That has been created using the 
     text2html script.

     html2text is a more complicated process. The lynx broswer is
     used for the conversion itself. Just one line does it all:

     lynx -dump textfile.txt > htmlfile.html

     The rest of the routines are for error check, and to prevent
     over-writing of pre-existing files ... and ofcourse, verbose
     licence notices :-) Or, Just-for-kicks !

     You need lynx installed for html2text to run.

     Enjoy.
