(I wonder if 0 it could be tweaked to convert HTML into DDIF ?)    H Since those converters are now on the freeware, how about also releasing# the source code of the converters ?   H If the SGML source code were available, it might not be too difficult to* use it to generate an HTML output library.  F A quick test reveals that the SGML converter uses tags named after the* style names used in the DECwrite document.  G So it would be a question of generating HTML styles sheets based on the C DECwrite styles properties, and then the text itself would be using 4 normal HTML tags that point to the right HTML style.   eg:    instead of having:  $ <Monospaced>Hello World</monospaced>   one would have    .Monospaced  { !                 text-align:left ;                   font-size:12pt ;&                 font-family: courier ;                 }   " in the style sheets section , and:  6 <span class=Monospaced>Hello World</span> in the body.  * It isn't terribly different in structure.   D If there were HTML  CDA converters for both read and write, it would! give DECWRITE a hell of an asset.    ------------------------------  % Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2005 16:59:54 +0200 " From: Hans Blom <tocum2@yahoo.com>1 Subject: Re: initialize disk, how on openvms 6.x? B Message-ID: <1127055435.e6d76ec951fb142a7dbf940348997e59@teranews>   Hans Blom wrote: > Hello all,J > I received a question via telephone from a customer on how to initialize% > a disk.
