Announcing: HTML::FormatNroff

I have uploaded the first (beta) version of FormatNroff to CPAN.
This is a set of modules which allow you to convert HTML to
nroff with -man macros, using tbl to handle tables. It builds on
HTML::Formatter and HTML::Parse, requiring perl 5.004.

Available at
  http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/HTML/FormatNroff-0.10.tar.gz

The README follows.

This library is free software; 
you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. 

WARNING: THIS IS Beta SOFTWARE. IT IS POSSIBLY UNRELIABLE!

It requires perl 5.004, since it assumes that version of the HTML::Formatter
module.

------------------------------------------------

The purpose of this software is to provide a means to automatically
convert HTML to nroff source, using tbl to support tables.

This work is based upon the HTML::Formatter and HTML::Parse modules.

This software package is *NOT COMPLETE*, see the ToDo file.
