www_and_frame Support Info

New Distribution: ANSI C HTML->MIF code

At the request of some folks at Frame, I'm releasing some code that converts HTML to MIF. See html2mif in the W3 contributed code archive.

I developed this while I was at Convex, and since I left there in Feb 1993, I haven'nt been actively maintaining it. I expect some of the other MIF2HTML converters out there are better. You might try:

• Matt Ranney. He graciously volunteered to support www_and_frame a long time ago. I haven't heard much from him lately, though.
• Ken Harward at Convex. He maintains some tools to convert from MIF to all sorts of formats. I'm not sure if they're available for general distribution.
• Mike Sendall's notes on HTML/Frame conversion tools.

The package was novel in that would convert from HTML as well as to HTML. But it wouldn't do a very good job of converting a collection of HTML documents into a manageable Frame document.

I will certify the www_and_frame-0.2.tar.Z distribution, in case anybody's interested: err... ummm.. I don't have my public key online right now!.
