Thanks - this proves my doc2html.pl is working. The next problem is
invoking doc2html.pl from htdig. When htdig spiders the site, for each pdf
it comes across I get an error message like
!! Error: Couldn't open file '/cygdrive/d/htdext.326'
This is to do with the temporary file used to pipe the output from
doc2html.pl to htdig, yes? I've tried various environment settings of tmp,
tmpdir or whatever the hell it's trying to use (isn't there a similar issue
with htmerge under NT, that thankfully I'm not suffering from) tinkering
around with both at the dos prompt and the bash prompt to no avail. Can
anyone shed some light on this?
Also worth mentioning for NT type punters is that ht*.exe appears to need
to be told where its configuration file is, even when it's in the default
location. Not a problem for htdig and htmerge, but for htsearch I'm
calling it from htwrap.pl and have modified the call from
system("$dir/htsearch");
to
system("$dir/htsearch -c $config");
Thanks
