TXT 2 HTM v2.0 by The Monkey - members.xoom.com/_the_monkey

This utility will quickly turn all the text (.txt) files in a directory into HTML (.htm) files. To use it, unzip txt2htm.bat to the directory with your txt files, and then run it!

Note: For your text files to become HTML files they must contain HTML coding. This means they should be laid out like this:

<html>

<head>

<title>PAGE TITLE HERE</title>

</head>

<body>

text here<p>

more text<p>

</body>

</html>

KNOWN PROBLEMS fixed from version 1-

Do not drag-and-drop files on to txt2htm.bat or it will make all of the text files into your current DOS directory - probably C:\ or C:\WINDOWS - into HTML files! The fix for version 2 is that while working, txt2htm searches for certain files such as win.ini and autoexec.bat, and does an emergency stop if it finds them. But this isn't infallible, and, should this occur, simply drag-and-drop a file onto baktxt2txt, restoring the backups.

BAKTXT 2 HTM v2.0 by The Monkey - members.xoom.com/_the_monkey

When TXT 2 HTM runs, it backs up the original text (.txt) files to backup text (.baktxt) files. This utility will restore those files. To use, unzip it to the same directory where you originally ran TXT 2 HTM, and then run it.
