(Excuse the cross-posting if you see this more than once.)

To ease what what was becoming a repetitive and tiresome task, I've
written (yet another) Script/VS-to-HTML converter.  The design philoso-
phy was in this case ease of use -- no options whatever.  (If you don't
like what you get, you can always do a little post-editing, although
in my experience, this is rarely necessary.)  The routine is not suitable
for book-length manuscripts with title pages and the like, but it handles
all the most-frequently-used DCF control words and GML tags.

It also is a demonstration of the real power of CMS Pipelines which it
uses exclusively -- no XEDIT at all.

To get it, send a message to listserv@albany.edu (or, for a short while
longer, LISTSERV@ALBNYVM1) saying  GET S2H EXEC .  Type  S2H ?  for
instructions.

To see an example of its output, look at
http://albany.edu/~piporg-l/pipguide.html .  (This file required no
post-editing whatever.)

I'm still tinkering with it and would appreciate any feedback.
