# L2WHCRTF.AWK - List To WinHelp Compiler Rich Text Format
#
# Converts Ralf Brown's DOS Interrupt List Release 40 into
# RTF rich text for Microsoft's Help Compiler (HC31.EXE V3.10.445).
# Creates:
# 6250 topic pages, about
# 20000 WinHelp searchable key-items,
# 10750 cross-references resolved to winhelp hyperlinks, and
# 750 groups available with a new WinHelp Group button.
#
# Usage:
# X> AWK -fL2WHCRTF.AWK -vdosavestate=true INTERRUP.LST
# X> AWK -fL2WHCRTF.AWK INTERRUP.LST
# X> AWK -fL2WHindx.AWK INTERRUP.HPJ
# X> AWK -fL2WHlink.AWK INTERRUP.RTF
# X> HC31 INTERRUP
#
# Notes:
# Creates subdirs .\g and .\i for temporary files (group-topics and indices).
# This DOS awk script leaks memory, so the names of the temporary
# files are kept short and the list is processed in two AWK runs.
# You must have free disk space for:
# 6.2 MB RTF file
# 6.0 MB LTF file
# 8.1 MB for 720 files in .\g and .\i subdirs (clustersize 8 KB)
# 6.1 MB HLP file
# 1.0 MB in %TEMP% directory (used by HC31.EXE)
# -------- +
# < 30.0 MB
#
# Time needed to process the 3324004 bytes long REL40 listfile on a
# 33 Mhz 486DX /w 16 MB RAM in a DOS-box of WFW 3.11 (with enabled
# 32-bit file- and disk-i/o) using Rob Duff's (Vancouver/Canada)
# AWK.EXE V3.20 of 22-May-91:
#
# 13 min. for AWK to create rich text, flag cross-reference candidates
# 15 min. from SeeAlso lines and group the topics (LST -> RTF)
# 18 min. for AWK to build verified hyperlinks (RTF -> LTF)
# 20 min. for HC31 to create the compressed HLP-file
# -------- +
# about 1 hour and 10 minutes for the total job.
