DE-HTML.EXE is a simple MSDOS utility which reads as input an HTML
file, and writes as output a text file with all of the HTML tags
removed.  Run with the optional commandline switch /url the output
will include all tags containing URLs ("href=http...").  Use the
switch /len=nn to set maximum output line length.  Use /del=tab
to set the tab character as field delimiter in tables.  Run /?
for help screen describing all options.

DE-HTML was written by request.  It is available free of charge, 
however the source code is copyright 1995-1996 by Bamboo Software.

History:
-------
Version 1.1b: 12/09/95 - Parse a few character entities for Paul Gorodyansky.
Version 1.2:  03/11/96 - Added new option /len=nn (maximum line
length for output), and wildcard filespec processing ("*.htm" for
example) after suggestions by Dan Goodman.
Version 1.3:  06/29/96 - Added table support.  Recognizes /th, /td
and /tr tags and new /del option lets user select field delimiter
character (defaults to semicolon).  Suggested by Jonathan Rosenne.
Version 1.3a: 07/06/96 - Let user specify tab character as table delimiter
via "/del=tab" on command line; added <br> tag handling (duh).
Version 1.3b: 07/07/96 - Added support for <hr> tags.
Version 1.4:  07/17/96 - Added international support via ISO 8859-1
Latin 1 characters, and command line option /char= (ANSI or ASCII)
to set the output character set (ASCII is default; ANSI displays
properly in Windows applications and should probably be the default).
Requested by Claude Shoshany.
Version 1.5: 07/29/96 - Added support for Windows 95 long filenames
so you can enter "de-html *.html", for instance.  (Does not work under
Windows NT.)
