The TOOLS
directory contains the very valuable HTML2IPF tool by
Andrew Pavel Zabolotny. This REXX script is capable of creating a single
.IPF
file from a list of linked HTML files, which can then be passed to
IBM's IPFC.EXE
for creating .HLP
and .INF
files.
I have slightly modified this tool (see notes below).
Even if you don't know what I'm talking about, in this directory, you
need to open HTML2IPF.CMD
and change three, maybe four things:
Resources on the Internet

This chapter contains...

codes
and such.

string, but do not change the code in the middle.
I have included HTML2IPF.INF, which describes how the tool works. You need not bother with this though, because everything is already set up properly.
I have changed HTML2IPF.CMD in a few places to allow for IPF window positioning and certain extra character formatting. These changes are only documented here, in case you're interested -- you will NOT find these changes in the INF file (you don't have to know this, just if you're curious):
