This documentation can be downloaded as part of the documentation set in .zip format.
The shareware version of AscToRTF is made available over the web from the download zip file. Once you register you can download the full version (no nags, no limits), and are entitled to free upgrades for an arbitrary (equals "my decision is final") period of time. So far I've never requested payment for any updates of AscToHTM over the last 2-3 years.
Installation will vary according to the type of install kit you've downloaded, but in each case you first download the .ZIP file appropriate to your system and unzip.
Sorry. No VMS distribution is planned at this time as RTF is not exactly a VMS-friendly file format.
That said, the software - like AscToHTM - is largely developed under VMS, so if there is enough interest this may change. Email [email protected] if you're interested.
The current version of the software makes updates to your Registry. See the Install notes that come with the software for a description of the registry settings used.
If you've taken an installshield version, unzip the file and then run the Setup program. This will move the files to a directory, and create all icons etc.
Once installed, InstallShield will also offer an uninstall option. You can access this via Control Panel | Add/remove software.
The InstallShield version is substantially larger than the manual install versions. This means some people experience problems downloading the file.
For this reason smaller kits without InstallShield are available (see 2.2.2)
This version should be used by anyone who anticipates problems with the InstallShield version, or who simply wishes to upgrade an existing version.
It's about 6 times smaller than the InstallShield version.
Once you've unzipped the files, move them to your preferred directory.
There will be no uninstall command in this case (unless you are overlaying an earlier installed version).
Initially AscToRTF will only be available as a Windows application. However the program is capable of being built as a console application, and there are a number of command line options described in this document.
A console version is more suited to certain modes of batch processing, (for example it can use a steering data file, and won't get focus when executed). The console version will be made available upon request to registered users only.
The conversion engine is identical in each case, it's just GUI-less.
Please note this console version is not a DOS version, that is it will run in a "DOS" window under windows, but not on a system booted under DOS.
