[ILUG] Program to generate pictures like yesterday's penguin

[Aidan Keady]

Hi,
   If anyone's interested, I wasted yesterday afternoon writing a program to
   generate HTML pages like the penguin from yesterday - PPM2HTML.

Usage: PPM2HTML ppm_file < Text_file > html_file

The ppm_file is an ASCII PPM file - I've used ones generated by xv.   I was doing a
version which read raw PPM files but abandoned it - it's not difficult, if anyone
wants to try...

As an earlier attempt to post this was maybe rejected because I attached the
source (C - ~100 lines), I won't include it this time - email me if you want it.

The aspect ratio of the generated picture will be different to the source as
the font characters aren't square - prewarp the source picture in xv by squashing
the y-axis to 60-70% to make it look O.K.

ATB,
Aidan.
