ENVIRONMENT

This program requires perl, gnatf (part of the freely-available GNAT Ada
compiler), and Unix. The Unix dependencies are small and could be
eliminated with some small amount of programming.

LIMITATIONS

No proprietary products are needed; see the documentation for specific
limitations of the tool.

CERTIFICATION

Not performed because source code is not Ada

SEE ALSO

"src2html" by Michal Young develops a hypertext index from Ada source,
but doesn't (currently) generate the interconnections between
compilation units that ada2html does. src2html can be found at:
http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/young/software/src2www.html
For an example of the output of ada2html, see program Small at:

ABSTRACT

Ada2HTML

Ada2html takes as input a set of Ada source files and generates (as output) a set of HTML (hypertext) files. These generated files are the Ada source files with a large number of hypertext links added to them, so users can walk around the Ada source using the hypertext links. The generated files also have Ada keywords bolded and comments italicized. You can view the resulting output using any HTML browser. You do not need Unix, GNAT, or perl to view the results, but you will need an HTML browser to view the results in the way they're intended. Examples of HTML browsers are Netscape, Mosaic, Cello, Lynx, and Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

RELEASE NOTICE

There are NO restrictions on this program's distribution.
You may modify the program and redistribute it
under the terms of the FSF General Public License.
There are only two additional restrictions on this program's use:
* All generated files must keep their acknowledgement that David A. Wheeler
  created ada2html and that ada2html was used to generate the HTML format.
  You may not change "ada2html" in a way that removes this
  acknowledgement, and you may not grant anyone else permission to
  remove those acknowledgements.  I'm giving this program away, and in
  return I ask that you give me some credit.
* You may not submit anything generated by ada2html to the ARA for
  its Ada programming competition until/unless "program Small" at
  http://wwwlgl.epfl.ch/Ada/Lovelace/small.htm
  wins the ARA Ada programming competition.
  This is because I view this program (ada2html) as a "special advantage"
  in my submission to ARA's Ada programming competition.
  I originally created ada2html to improve my submission, and I don't
  think it's fair for others to use my own tools against me.
  This does not restrict the ARA (or anyone else) from using
  the ada2html program, it merely requires that ada2html-generated files
  not be counted as part of a submission to the ARA.
  I will probably remove this particular restriction in the near future
  (hopefully because I won :-) ! ).
