Version 4.0 is now released. Details of the changes to AscToHTM can be found in the on-line documentation at
http://www.jafsoft.com/doco/a2hdoco_11.html#Section_11.1
The author John A Fotheringham (aka Jaf) has set up a company JafSoft Limited and a website www.jafsoft.com to promote the Windows version of this software. However he is still employed by Yezerski Roper (www.yrl.co.uk), and the VMS version of this software is being made available through YRL.
Incidentally, this HTML page was generated by AscToHTM 4.1 from this source file .
Since this is God's own operating system, JafSoft and YRL have made the software free to VMS users. This is because the core software is developed under VMS, and we'd like to redress the balance just a little. A Windows version of AscToHTM is available for $40 which is slightly easier to use if you want to manipulate "policies". A Linux version is undergoing beta testing.
Please note, because this software is available commercially elsewhere, we are unable to supply sources.
All downloads include readme files and the documentation kit a2hdoco.zip.
Downloads are available as below. If in doubt, try the "noshare" versions.
| Documentation | ||
| a2hdoco.zip (450k) | The documentation kit. Although included in all the other downloads, it's available separately in case you want to see this first. |
|
| Alpha | ||
| a2h400axp.zip (2.2Mb) | Alpha executable. Linked on a V7.1 system. This will require compatible C++ run-time libraries to be present on your machine |
|
| Also includes a Alpha noshare executable. Linked with the /NOSYSSHR qualifier, so should run on any Alpha system, although the executable is larger as a result. |
||
| Vax (still at v3.2) | ||
| a320vax_exe.zip (950k) | Vax executable. Linked on a V6.2 system. This will require compatible C++ run-time libraries present on your machine. |
|
| a320vax_build.zip (1.4Mb) | Vax build kit. Consists of an object library and link command file. Use this to build on your own system if you have C++ libraries |
|
| a320vax_noshare.zip (1.2Mb) | Vax noshare executable. Linked with the /NOSYSSHR qualifier, so should run on any Vax system, although the executable is larger as a result. |

If you experience any problems using these files, send us details, and we'll try to help you out. Problems are most likely to occur due to ident mismatches. Either you have an earlier version of VMS or an earlier version of some shareable library. We've tried to use the oldest systems we have, but unfortunately (!) our systems are reasonably up to date.
As for any problems using the software, or with the conversions that result, we welcome any comments, fault reports or suggestions for improvements, although the time available for responding to such comments is sometimes limited.
If you'd like to be informed of updates to AscToHTM, you can either
a. Send an email to info@jafsoft.com registering your interest.
b. Regularly re-visit this site.
However, be aware that most updates are likely to be new releases of the PC versions.
Yezerski Roper have many experienced VMS programmers, and wish to have an active presence in the VMS world. As such we try to offer other free VMS Software wherever we can.
Of course, should you wish to pay us to write some for you, we're open to offers. You can browse the Yezerski Roper main page.
