 --------------------------------------------
 What is HTMASC?
 --------------------------------------------

 HTMASC is designed to perform a relatively straightforward task: 

 HTMASC converts *.htm files to *.txt. This means that all of the 
 HTML tags (e.g.<TITLE>, <HEADER> ...) are removed and entities 
 (&quot; &copy; ....) are converted.

 After loading a file the original text can be viewed in the upper 
 window. That's only for reference, no editing, copying, searching 
 etc. is possible.

 Now you can either select <Convert> from the File Menu or press 
 the <!> button on the toolbar. The file will be converted 
 (hopefully <g>) and should show up in the bottom window.

 The converted file is automatically saved to disk in the directory
 specified under OPTIONS/MORE/OUTPUT DIRECTORY. If there already exists
 a file with the same name you will be warned by the program.
 If the Same Directory Option is activated the converted file is placed
 in the directory of the currently open HTM - File.

 The converted text can be fully edited using the mouse or 
 standard CUA keystrokes.
 You can search for text, cut, copy, paste, undo, redo ...

 Clicking the right mouse button in the bottom window opens a 
 Popup Menu for quick access to most edit commands.
