WordStar-DOS to HTML-3.2 converter (version 0.64 Beta)
WS2HTML reads WordStar-for-DOS documents, converting their major
elements to HTML counterparts. Reading WS-DOS Doc and Non-Doc
formats, it tries to produce HTML that is standard and efficient.
Conversion is neither slavish nor comprehensive. Where WS-DOS
handles discrete pages with headers, numbering and so forth, HTML
deals in text passages commonly spanning the equivalent of many
pages. Compromises are inevitable; some are pragmatic, such as
allowing font changes where the Standard forbids them.
Notes (foot-, end- and comment) are now handled, as are a wider
range of embedded (symmetrical sequence) document commands. And
special "non-WS" commands allow for extensions of basic WS-DOS,
giving control of such features as tables, colours, intelligent
quotes (in several conventions), hyperlinks and images.
