(PYVMS LOGO)

This procedure is used to convert all '.HTML' files to the final documentation formats:

'.LNI'
This file is for ANSI printer output. Bold printing is controlled using ANSI sequences.
'.MEM'
This file is for line printer output. Bold printing is controlled via carriage control and double printing.

It is then converted to:

'.TXT'
This file is for viewing with a text editor or printing without bold characters from a non-VMS system.
CVT_DOC.COM calls the following procedures:
CVT__HTML.COM
convert '.HTML' files to '.RNO' files
CVT__RNO.COM
convert '.RNO' files to the final 3 files explained above.
Conversion from HTML to RUNOFF can take some time on a slow machine. One can run CVT__HTML.COM parallel to an edit session and have all new files converted while editing a new one. CVT__HTML.COM will check creation dates and only convert new HTML files. After the last '.HTML' file was changed the programmer can run CVT_DOC.COM and conversion will only be done for files where it is necessary.

Format:

    $ @CVT_DOC ["*"]
Arguments:
P1, optional
An asterisk ("*") is passed to CVT__HTML.COM and means that all files will be translated whether the '.RNO' file is current or not.
