BPB (bpbatch script) and HTML generator

First draft (July, 7th 1998)

The repetitive layout of the menus is well dealt with a front-end buildbpb

• a valid BPB script

  buildbpb -b xxx.cmd > xxx.bpb

  ( with an automatically balanced layout for the booting PC screen
• a HTML output with dynamic links to other menus (try INSTALL A FULL SYSTEM)

  buildbpb -H xxx.cmd > xxx.html

  helping :

  1. to verify the structure of the menu and its look
  2. to review the logic of the chained menus
  3. to document the approach (end-users and other developpers)
• some debugging

  buildbpb [-d|-D] xxx.cmd 2> debug.log > xxx.tmp
