Re: [htdig] htdig/ppthtml hangs

[David Adams]

Bryan,   You don't say which process is using 99% of the processor, htdig or pptHtml.     Exactly how have you configured htdig to use pptHtml?  The script doc2html.pl has a timeout feature which could be the solution.  You must install the Sys::AlarmCall Perl module for it to work.   Have you tried the test of executing pptHtml from the command line to convert this document directly?   It looks as though you need to use the max_doc_size configuration statement as the document is larger than the default 200000 characters.   -- David Adams Computing Services Southampton University ----- Original Message ----- From: Bryan C.
