<center>Version _WEBC-VERSION_</center>
<p>

_WEBC_ is a simple <i>compiler</i> which translates source
files into HTML output.  The source language looks strongly like
HTML code with a bit of a deranged C preprocessor thrown in.
<p>
Note that there are other programs around which do some of
what this package does as well as other things.  One such
is <a href="http://www.php.net/">PHP</a>.  These other
programs may suit your needs better than <i>webc</i>.
On the other hand, this is a small program which can be quickly
changed as needed, and more importantly, augmented with <i>Perl</i>
code in a fairly simple fashion.
It works for me.

You can obtain a full package from this at:
<a href="webc-_WEBC-VERSION_.tar.gz">webc-_WEBC-VERSION_.tar.gz</a>.
This file can be extracted on a Unix system with:
<pre>
	tar xvfz webc-_WEBC-VERSION_.tar.gz
</pre>
The only installation required is to set the top line of
_WEBC_ to the appropriate location of <b>Perl</b> on your
system, and to put _WEBC_ into an appropriate directory which
shows up in your search path.
<p>
If you want just the webc perl program itself, you cag get
that at <a href="webc">webc</a>.
