JafSoft Limited has released AscToHTM 4.0 for Windows
95/98/Me/NT/2000, a program that converts plain text files
(.txt) into good looking HTML web pages in seconds.

What it does
------------
AscToHTM converts text files using advanced text-recognition
algorithms that detect the document's structure. It recognizes
headings, bullets, lists, indentation, URLs, tables, ASCII art and
much more. The resulting HTML faithfully reflects the structure of
the original document.

This easy-to-use program adds value to the HTML e.g. by turning URLs
into hyperlinks and adding color to your pages. It can generate a
hyperlinked contents list from your headings, split large files into
a set of linked pages, or place your HTML in a set of frames. These
extra features make the software ideal for use as an authoring
tool as well as a conversion tool.

Novice users will appreciate how easy it is to quickly generate HTML
- just choose the files to be converted, press a single button and
the results are displayed in your browser.

Power users will love the control that they can exercise over such
things as title, colors, <META> tags, style sheets and a myriad of
other aspects of HTML production. For efficiency, your selected
options may be saved in "policy files" for reuse next time you run
the program.

Whether you are a business user that wants to place key documents and
reports on your Intranet, or a budding author who wishes to publish
your prose as good-looking e-books, this software will save you many
hours of effort. The extensive documentation will guide you through
the program's many features.

Version 4.0 introduces support for frames generation; copying the
HTML generated directly to the windows clipboard; and allowing
user-supplied HTML fragments to be used to customize the HTML
generated by the program.

AscToHTM 4.0 costs $40(US) for a single user license. Site licenses
are available. The software is made available free of charge to
Usenet FAQ maintainers.
