the easiest thing would possibly to take the ASCII version and wrap it in 
<PRE></PRE> html container tags... of course, you would want to have all the 
other proper HTML tags in place before and after :)

the actual coding should be dirt simple... start the HTML output file and 
output the html header stuff... then the <PRE> tag, import the ASCII file and 
output it to the html file, then </PRE> and the rest of your terminating HTML 
tags...

you could possibly peek at the output of my files areas HTML files on my 
website... they are done from BP7 and the descriptions of the files are wrapped 
with <PRE></PRE> tags in the same manner i'm speaking of...
