PAS2HTML is a conversion program which translates Delphi Pascal source files
into HTML format with Borland Delphi compatible syntax highlighting. This
makes it very easy to publish source code on the Web in a clear way. If you
have every tried to create a HTML page containing highlighted source you know
how much work this can be.


The contents of the package
===========================

The distribution archive of Pas2HTML contains four different versions of the
program which all rely on the same conversion engine:

PAS2HTML.EXE  - This is the original DOS 16-bit command line tool which
                gives you the posibility to convert you Pascal source files
                into HTML. You also specify wildcards to do batch conversions.
P2HWIN.EXE    - This is the 16-bit Windows version of the program. This tool
                will operate like a simple wizard, which allows you to specify
                a file or group of files to be converted.
P2HCGI.EXE    - This is a 32-bit executable which generates output suitable to
                be used as a CGI application on you WEB server. You can include
                links to Pascal files from your HTML pages using links like
                this: <A HREF="/cgi-bin/p2hcgi.exe?e:\public\pas\test.pas">,
                assuming you have copied P2HCGI.EXE to the /cgi-bin directory
                on your WEB server.
                You can use this program on any WEB server running on
                Windows NT which supports CGI (e.g. from Netscape or Microsoft).
P2HISAPI.DLL  - This is a 32-bit DLL which provides the same functionality
                as the CGI version, but this one is an ISAPI version. You
                can use it on a WEB server running Microsoft's IIS to
                achieve a much better performance than with CGI. A link to
                a Pascal source file using this DLL will look like this:
                <A HREF="/scrips/p2hisapi.dll?e:\public\pas\test.pas">,
                assuming you have copied the .DLL file to the scripts directory
                on your WEB server.

New versions
